Shell Turbo Oil T 46

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.

Main Applications

Shell Turbo Oil T 46 is ideal for:

• Industrial steam turbines and light-duty gas turbines (no EP gear requirement)

• Hydroelectric turbines

• Centrifugal and axial turbo-compressors

• Pumps and machinery requiring high-performance R&O oils
