Shell Tellus Oils C

Mild anti-wear hydraulic oils

Shell Tellus Oils C are high viscosity index, solvent refined, mineral oils
blended with zinc free anti-wear and other additives to provide extended
performance in certain hydraulic and power transmission systems

Applications Health & Safety

Static industrial hydraulic transmission and
control systems containing steel-on-bronze
and silver lubrication surfaces

*High speed spindle oil

*Telemotor oil
*ISO 5 & 10 oils
Shell Tellus Oils C are unlikely to present any
significant health or safety hazard when
properly used in the recommended application,
and good standards of industrial and personal
hygiene are maintained.
For further guidance on Product Health &
Safety refer to the appropriate Shell Product
Safety Data Sheet.

Performance Features

Excellent oxidation resistance
The high resistance to oxidation, caused
by heat in the presence of air, water and
metal catalysts, such as copper, prolongs
oil life.
Advice
Advice on applications not covered in this
leaflet may be obtained from your Shell
Representative

Good anti wear performance

The isopropylated phenyl phosphate
additive provides efficient anti-wear
performance without reacting to the softer
metals used in the manufacture of certain
pumps, such as steel-on-bronze and silver
plate

Corrosion protection
Carefully selected additives enhance the
oil's natural corrosion protective properties

Low pour point

The low pour point of the lighter oils in the
Shell Tellus Oils C range may be used to
advantage in certain low temperature
industrial applications

Air release and anti-foam properties

Careful use of additives ensure quick air
release without excessive foaming
