Shell - Alvania G3 Data Sheet

Shell Gadus S2 V100 3 uses the same lithium soap thickener and mineral base oil technology as Alvania G3. In most standard applications, you can top off or replace Alvania G3 with Gadus S2 V100 3 without performing a complex system flush. However, always consult your plant engineer or lubricant supplier before mixing greases in critical machinery. Health, Safety, and Environment

The SDS for Shell Alvania greases (like EP(LF) 2) provides the following general guidance for handling and storage:

Shell Alvania G3 was engineered primarily as an industrial bearing grease, excelling in environments that demanded a firmer lubricant structure. 1. Electric Motor Bearings

Lithium-based greases like Alvania G3 are generally compatible with other lithium or lithium-complex greases. However, they should never be mixed with bentonite clay, polyurea, or calcium-complex greases without performing a laboratory compatibility check, as mixing can cause the grease to soften and fail.

Shell Alvania G3 was specifically engineered for industrial rolling element bearings operating under standard loads and elevated vibration. Typical applications include:

Although many users continue to search for Shell Alvania G3, the product line has been superseded by the range. The most direct currentโ€‘generation equivalent is Shell Gadus S2 V100 3 , which was formerly named Alvania Grease RL 3 .
