Shell Irus C-NA Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Oil

Description

Shell Irus C-NA is a water solution of diethylene glycol and an effective additive package. In addition to water (approximately 40%) and glycol, it contains a combination of anti-wear agents and rust inhibitors designed to make it suitable for use in a wide variety of hydraulic systems. Shell Irus C-NA protects high pressure pumps from excessive wear. This product also offers good rust protection both in the fluid immersed sections of the system and in the vapor spaces where condensed water typically collects. Shell Irus C-NA is foam resistant and shear stable. Its higher specific gravity allows oil contamination to float on the surface where it can be removed by conventional skimming equipment. Low temperatures are not a problem since the product's glycol content protects against freezing.

Features and Benefits

Excellent Fire Resistance – Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is inherently fire-resistant and is FM approved, offering high flash point, high fire point and high auto-ignition temperature. It minimizes the risk of fire, which could potentially be caused by mineral oil products.
Enhanced System Protection – Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 offers excellent lubricity, for outstanding pump life under the most severe conditions. The fluid meets or exceeds the pump performance of premium, anti-wear mineral oils, even at 5,500 psi (380 bar) operating pressure. Shear stability is excellent. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 achieved a 13-stage rating in the FZG Gear Test demonstrating a high level of protection against wear and scuffing.
Good Hydrolytic Stability – Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 will not brekad down and react with water, minimizing fluid degradation and acid formation that can damage and eventually dstroy hydraulic pumps. No acid removal/ion exchange filters are required.
High Resistance to Sludge or Varnish Formation – Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is formulated to provide high resistance against varnish and sludge formation. Field experience has shown long-term system cleanliness while extending maintenance intervals and service life. In addition, this fluid is very stable at high temperatures and resistant to thermal degradation up to 120 C.
Suitable for All-Weather Service – A high viscosity index in combination with excellent low-temperature fluidity provide year-round fluid that portects the machine from cavitation at cold startups and provides durability at higher operating temperatures.
Excellent Compatibility – While Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is compatible with many different types of fluids, to ensure proper system performance, it is recommended to properly clean and flush hydraulic systems during conversations. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is compatible with commonly used seals, hoses and metals.
