PANOLIN S3 HLP SYN EAL 46, 209L
Shell PANOLIN S3 HLP Synth EAL 46 (formerly known as PANOLIN SPRINT) is a readily biodegradable hydraulic fluid based on a synthetic ester blend. Zinc-free additive technology, blended with fully synthetic saturated and unsaturated esters, provides a good blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability. Readily biodegradable with a low ecotoxicity, it is particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas where eco-label compliance is required, including US waters. EU Ecolabel certified and USA EPA VGP compliant.
Typical Physical Characteristics
| Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C | 45.9 mm²/s (ASTM D445) |
| Pour Point | -36°C (ASTM D97) |
| Flash Point | 274°C (ASTM D92) |
| Density @ 15°C | 920 kg/m³ (ASTM D4052) |
Performance, Features & Benefits
| •Good wear protection — designed to help equipment operate without interruptions, offering good wear protection. |
| •Maintaining system efficiency — high VI provides performance across a wide temperature operating window. |
| •Lower environmental impact — 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. |
Main Applications
| •Stationary and mobile hydraulic systems |
| •Marine and deck equipment |
| •Construction |
| •Forestry |
Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations
| •Meets the requirements for EU Ecolabel - NL/027/028 |
| •Meets requirement of United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) |
| •Meets USDA Bio-preferred programme |
| •Biodegradable OECD 301B >60% |
Compatibility & Miscibility
| •It is strongly recommended that an oil sample is taken from the system following changeover and analysed to confirm the new fluid charge is fit for use. |
| •This lubricant should not be mixed with other biodegradable hydraulic fluids to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of fluid is maintained. The system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids; guidelines on fluid change-over can be found in ISO 15380 Annex A. |
| •This lubricant is 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. |
| •Protect the environment — take used oil to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water. |
