Shell Alvania G3 Data Sheet |top|
Shell Alvania G3 is a (National Lubricating Grease Institute) grade grease, indicating a stiffer consistency compared to the more common NLGI 2. It is formulated with highly refined mineral oils and reinforced with lithium soap thickeners and specialized antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and extreme pressure (EP) additives.
Industrial greases are defined by their base oil viscosity, thickener type, and consistency. Below are the standard technical parameters found on the data sheet for this formulation: Physical Characteristic Test Method Typical Value / Property 3 (Firm consistency) Thickener Type Lithium Soap Base Oil Type Mineral Oil Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C Cone Penetration, Worked 60 Strokes 220–250 (0.1 mm) Dropping Point 185°C (365°F) Four-Ball Weld Load ASTM D2596 240 kg minimum Key Performance Benefits shell alvania g3 data sheet
The stiff consistency prevents the grease from migrating downward due to gravity. Shell Alvania G3 is a (National Lubricating Grease
