Aeroshell Greases

Shell Aviation can offer a range of aviation greases designed to fill almost every lubrication need of the aviation community. There follows very brief descriptions of the major products in the AeroShell Grease range.

AeroShell Grease 5

Wheel bearing and engine accessory grease Microgel® thickened, mineral oil base Combines high load-carrying ability with excellent resistance to water and high temperatures. It inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, and has a useful temperature range of -23°C to + 177°C. Used primarily in aircraft wheel bearings and engine accessories operating at high speeds and relatively high temperatures.

AeroShell Grease 6

General Purpose airframe grease Microgel® thickened, mineral oil base Inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, it features outstanding low temperature torque properties and resistance to water. Useful temperature range of -40°C to +121°C. Used primarily in plain and anti-friction bearings on general aviation aircraft.

AeroShell Grease 7

Advanced multipurpose airframe grease Microgel® thickened, synthetic diester oil base. Corrosion inhibited and fortified to resist oxidation, it combines excellent load-carrying capacity with a useful temperature range of -73°C to + 149°C. Recommended for highly loaded gears and actuator screw mechanisms, as well as for instrument and general airframe lubrication.

AeroShell Grease 14

Leading multipurpose helicopter grease Calcium soap thickened, mineral oil base. Inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, it is compounded with special anti-rust additives, and gives outstanding protection against fretting and moisture corrosion. Useful temperature range is -54°C to +93°C. Approved by all leading helicopter manufacturers. Recommended for most helicopter main and tail rotor bearings; widely used as a general purpose helicopter grease.

AeroShell Grease 15

Extreme temperature ball and roller bearing grease. Teflon thickened, silicone oil base. Inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, it possesses excellent high temperature and mechanical stability properties, low evaporation rate and superior resistance to water wash-out. Intended for lightly loaded ball and roller bearings over a temperature range of -73°C to +232°C. Recommended for continuous high temperature service, e.g. in turbine engine controls, and for low temperature applications where low torque properties are required.

AeroShell Grease 16

Superior anti-friction bearing grease. Microgel® non-melting inorganic thickener. Recommended for anti-friction bearings operating under load at high speeds and high or low temperatures. It is made with a blend of synthetic polyolester and mineral oil and Microgel® non-melting inorganic thickener, which provides long life and high water resistance. It has a useful temperature range of -65°C to +204°C.

AeroShell Grease 17

Extreme Pressure variant of AeroShell Grease 7 with 5% molybdenum disulphide. Recommended as a general purpose airframe grease, particularly for heavily loaded sliding steel surfaces where protection against seizure and corrosion is desired, e.g. bogie pivot pins on jet aircraft landing assemblies. It also provides outstanding anti-friction bearing lubrication. Useful temperature range is -73°C to +149°C.

AeroShell Grease 22

Versatile multipurpose grease Microgel® thickened, synthetic hydrocarbon oil base. Corrosion inhibited and fortified against oxidation, it has excellent anti-wear properties, load-carrying capacity and water resistance, plus a wide useful temperature range of -65°C to +240°C. Recommended for aircraft wheel bearings, engine accessories and airframe lubrication, and for anti-friction bearings operating at high speeds and at high or low temperatures.

AeroShell Grease 33

Universal airframe grease Lithium complex thickened, synthetic hydrocarbon/ester oil base Developed with the purpose of satisfying almost all airframe lubrication requirements with a single grease. Its enhanced corrosion resistance and load-carrying capacity reduces wear and tear and can lead to extension of re-greasing intervals and reduction in maintenance costs. Replacing several greases with a single grease avoids the risk of misapplication and also reduces stock inventory, again providing cost savings. Useful temperature range is -73°C to +121°C.
