Shell Alvania R3 - Grease Datasheet Extra Quality Portable
The grease previously known as Shell Alvania Grease RL3 (or simply Alvania R3) has been rebranded as Shell Gadus S2 V100 3 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
Shell Alvania Grease R3 is a high-performance, medium/hard industrial grease based on a lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener and highly-refined mineral base oil. It is now primarily marketed as Shell Gadus S2 V100 3.

- Tighter consistency limits: Penetration values are held to the center of the range (±5 points rather than ±10).
- Enhanced mechanical stability: Extended roll stability tests show less than 5% softening after 100,000 strokes.
- Superior oxidation resistance: RPVOT (Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test) values exceed standard requirements by 15-20%.
), a high-performance industrial grease known for its reliability in demanding mechanical environments. Core Composition and Classification Shell Alvania R3 is a lithium-based The grease previously known as Shell Alvania Grease
Shell Alvania R3 Grease is a lithium-based grease composed of a high-quality mineral oil, lithium soap, and additives. The grease is thickened with lithium soap, which provides excellent shear stability and resistance to softening under high temperatures. The base oil used is a high-viscosity index mineral oil, which ensures good lubricity and wear protection. Tighter consistency limits: Penetration values are held to
Compatibility
As a lithium-based grease, Shell Alvania R3 is generally compatible with other conventional lithium greases. However, mixing different grease types should be avoided to ensure the "extra quality" performance is not compromised.
Standard Conditions: Best suited for normal operating temperatures and applications not subject to extreme pressure (EP).
