Product Overview
Shell Turbo Oil T 46 is a premium R&O (Rust & Oxidation) turbine oil formulated to provide exceptional protection, cleanliness, and longevity for industrial steam turbines, light-duty gas turbines, turbo-compressors, and hydraulic systems. It is specifically engineered with high-quality hydrotreated base oils and zinc-free additives for optimum performance, reliability, and reduced maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Oxidation Control
Reduces sludge and acid formation, enabling longer oil life and lowering operating costs. -
Excellent Foam Control & Air Release
Prevents cavitation, reduces pump wear, and improves lubrication reliability in dynamic systems. -
Outstanding Water Separation
Ensures easy removal of water common in steam turbine environments, minimizing corrosion and wear. -
Advanced Rust & Corrosion Protection
Guards metal surfaces during both operation and shutdowns—ideal for humid or water-prone environments.
