PANOLIN S2 HF DU EAL 68, 1000L
Shell PANOLIN S2 Hydraulic DU EAL 68 (formerly known as Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid / Shell Naturelle HF-E) is an advanced biodegradable, HEES type synthetic hydraulic fluid. Readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity, it is particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas where eco-label compliance is required, including US waters. Fully synthetic esters, blended with ashless additives, provide this fluid with an excellent blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability. EU Ecolabel certified, USA EPA VGP compliant and suited to versatile applications.

Performance, Features & Benefits
| •Good wear protection — advanced ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions, with proven protection in tough industry standard tests such as the Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 vane pump and Komatsu HPV35+35 high pressure piston pump. |
| •The excellent anti-wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) mean it can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90°C. |
| •Maintaining system efficiency — excellent viscosity/temperature characteristics can minimize the changes of viscosity with variation in operation temperature, giving true 'multigrade' characteristics. |
| •Outstanding cleanliness and filterability, coupled with excellent water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics, all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems. |
| •Lower environmental impact — recommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas. An 'environmentally acceptable lubricant' as defined by the USA EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit, offering reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments compared to conventional mineral oils. |
| •Readily biodegradable — biodegraded by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test. |
| •Low ecotoxicity — classified as 'not harmful' when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD test guidelines. |
| •Very high renewables content — a mean biobased content of 82% (ASTM D 6866). |
| •Fire-resistant — HFDU fire-resistance hydraulic fluid with a high flash point. |

Compatibility & Miscibility
| •Fluid compatibility — Shell PANOLIN Fluids are miscible with mineral oils. However, in order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell PANOLIN Fluids are maintained, the system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids. |
| •Seal & paint compatibility — compatible with fluoroelastomers (FPM/FKM) such as Viton. Other seal materials and system components such as paints may be adversely affected and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers. |
Health, Safety & Environment
| •This product is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of personal hygiene are maintained. |
| •Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. |
| •Guidance on Health and Safety is available on the appropriate Safety Data Sheet. |
| •Bulk operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90°C. |
| •Protect the environment — take used oil to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water. |
