Shell Morlina is a range of high-quality bearing and circulating oils designed for the lubrication of industrial bearings, circulation systems, and lightly loaded gears. These oils are formulated using highly refined mineral base oils and carefully selected additives to provide reliable performance, long oil life, and effective protection against wear and corrosion.
Shell Morlina oils are widely used in manufacturing plants, power stations, cement plants, steel mills, and other heavy industries where dependable lubrication is essential for continuous operation.
Shell Morlina oils are non-detergent, oxidation-resistant lubricants intended primarily for ring-oiled bearings and circulating oil systems. They are available in a range of viscosity grades to suit different operating speeds, loads, and temperatures.
Excellent Oxidation Stability
Shell Morlina oils resist oxidation even at elevated operating temperatures.
Benefits include:
Longer oil life
Reduced sludge and varnish formation
Lower maintenance costs
Reliable Wear Protection
The oils form a stable lubricating film that:
Minimizes metal-to-metal contact
Reduces bearing wear
Extends equipment life
Good Rust and Corrosion Protection
Shell Morlina provides effective protection against:
Rust formation due to moisture
Corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Excellent Water Separation
The oils have strong demulsibility, allowing water to separate quickly.
This helps in:
Maintaining lubrication efficiency
Preventing bearing damage
Easy removal of water from systems
Foam Control
Carefully balanced anti-foam additives:
Reduce air entrainment
Ensure stable oil circulation
Applications
Industrial Bearings
Plain bearings
Journal bearings
Ring-oiled bearings
Circulating Oil Systems
Centralized lubrication systems
Turbine auxiliary systems
Machine tool lubrication systems
Lightly Loaded Gears
Enclosed spur and helical gears operating under moderate conditions
Compatibility and Seal Performance
Shell Morlina oils are compatible with:
Common sealing materials
Typical metals used in industrial lubrication systems
They are also suitable for use in systems previously lubricated with conventional mineral oils, provided standard oil change procedures are followed.
Handling and Storage
Store in a clean, dry, covered area
Avoid contamination with dust or water
Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use
Proper handling ensures the oil retains its original performance characteristics.
Health, Safety, and Environmental Considerations
Shell Morlina oils are formulated to minimize health risks when used correctly.
Operators should:
Follow standard industrial safety practices
Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information
Used oil should be disposed of responsibly in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Shell Morlina Bearing and Circulating Oils provide reliable lubrication, long service life, and strong equipment protection in a wide range of industrial applications. Their excellent oxidation stability, wear protection, and water separation characteristics make them a trusted choice for industrial bearings and circulating oil systems operating under demanding conditions.
