SHELL CARDIUM

COMPOUNDS
AND FLUIDS
Residual compounded oils

Product Description
Shell Cardium

Compound lubricants are available in 4 grades and range in viscosity from a heavy oil to a semi-
solid at normal ambient temperatures. Shell Cardium

Compound 14R, and 15R are residual compounded oils,

while Shell Cardium

Fluid M and Shell Cardium

Fluid H are residual compounded oils diluted with a high flash

solvent to allow for easier application. They are suitable for the lubrication of wire ropes, chains, flexible couplings,
gears and sliding surfaces of drag lines and shovels, and open gears of mine hoists, ball mills, rubber mixers, cement
mills, clay products industries, construction equipment, dredging equipment as well as other applications where a
heavy, adhesive oil is required.

Applications
Shell Cardium

Compounds 14R and 15R were developed specifically to provide enhanced retention on bearing
surfaces where the lubricant must withstand washing action. These products also meet the performance
requirements of ANSI/AGMA Lubricant Nos. 14R and 15R, respectively.

Shell Cardium

Fluids M and H were developed to provide the benefit of heavy oil lubricants, but with easier
application characteristics. They are viscous materials thinned by a high flash point, chlorine-free solvent to
permit application by brushing, swabbing, dipping, spraying, drip cup or spout type can. The high flash
solvent evaporates after application leaving a very viscous, tenacious oil film. This solvent is not considered
to be flammable by DOT and OSHA standards. However, caution should be exercised when considering
these products for applications exposed to open flame or spark sources (kilns, etc). Both products, meet the
performance requirements of ANSI/AGMA Lubricant Nos. 14R and 15R, respectively when the solvent has
been removed.

Features
Shell Cardium

Compounds 14R and 15R are residual compounded oils with a high pour point and provide good
adhesion to bearing surfaces where water conditions are involved. They also meet the performance requirements of
ANSI/AGMA Lubricants Nos. 14R and 15R, respectively.

Shell Cardium

Fluids M and H are residual compounded oils cutback with a non-chlorinated solvent to allow
easier application. The solvent used is an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a closed cup flash point greater than 220F. This
solvent is not considered to be flammable by DOT and OSHA standards. Both products, meet the performance
requirements of ANSI/AGMA Lubricants No. 14R and 15R, respectively when the solvent has been removed.

Benefits
excellent wear protection under adverse conditions
rust protection of ferrous parts
resistance to water washout
excellent adhesion to metal surfaces

Product Maintenance
Shell Cardium

Fluid M and Fluid H are sprayable using conventional drum pump and spray nozzle equipment
designed for fluid lubricant and grease. Such equipment is available from suppliers such as Lincoln, Graco and Falk.
Application frequency and duration must be determined by the equipment operator in order to minimize wear. Large
open gear tooth wear is not only affected by the lubricant but is also strongly dependent upon proper gear tooth
alignment. Proper alignment must be maintained in order to realize maximum gear life.
