Description:

Shell Malleus GL is a range of a premium quality, lead and solvent free, full EP lubricants developed for the lubrication and protection of open gears and wire ropes subjected to extremes of ambient temperature and operating conditions.
They are a unique blend of high quality paraffinic mineral and synthetic base oils with carefully selected additives to provide optimum performance. Its balanced formulation allows the lubricant to stay soft and pliable over long periods, thus eliminating the build-up of lubricant in the roots of the gear teeth.

Performance Features:

Exceptional Physical and Mechanical Stability 
Shell Malleus GL retains its natural protective properties over its long working life 

Excellent Anti-Wear Performance
At working temperatures, speeds and pressures, Shell Malleus GL forms a protective cushion between the large gear (girth, bull etc) and pinion teeth 

Superb load carrying capacity
Molybdenum disulphide and other solid lubricants combine to reduce tooth contact zone temperatures, reduce gear surface pitting and alleviate ‘stick-slip’ conditions 

Water Repellent 
Effectively resists water ‘wash-off’ by immersion or spray 

Corrosion Protection 
Protects metal surfaces from corrosion in hostile environments such as salt-water conditions. Repels dirt and dust 

Environmental Compliance 
Lead and solvent haven't been added intentionally to Shell Malleus GL 

Application:

Heavily loaded open gears, particularly those found in grinding mills, kilns, shovels, draglines, ship loaders, stackers and reclaimers and excavator applications. When choosing a product to suit your ambient temperature conditions, always consult with your Shell representative for the appropriate grade 

Multi service lubricant that can be used as the one grease (multi purpose and open gear) for the entire machine on most shovels, excavators and draglines (excluding electrical motors bearings) 

Surface dressing of slow moving gears open to the atmosphere 

Plain bearings, pivot pins/bushings & articulations found in earth moving equipment 

Mooring, static and slow moving wire ropes including those intermittently immersed in salt water 

Wide variety of heavy-duty mining and industrial applications
