Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 main applications:<\/p>\n
Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46<\/strong>\u00a0is an advanced biodegradable and HFDU type less flammable hydraulic fluid for use in hydraulic and power transmission systems.\u00a0Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46\u00a0is readily biodegradable with a low ecotoxicity, particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas and in industrial equipment operating in areas subject to fire hazards, such as in steel mills, surface mines and foundries.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments can be subject to wide variations in temperature. The naturally high, shear stable viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 helps deliver responsive performance from cold start to full load, heavy duty operation.<\/p>\n The excellent anti-wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46, mean that it can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM\/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP\/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be 0 allowed to exceed 90 C.<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 is an \u2018environmentally acceptable\u2019 hydraulic fluid (ISO 15380 HEES), with \u2018reduced harm for water and soil during use\u2019 (European Union ecolabel). When compared to conventional mineral oil hydraulic fluids, it will have a reduced environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental spillage and meets the United States Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) requirements for use in marine applications.<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 Fluids are classified as HFDU type fire-resistant hydraulic fluid for use in industrial equipment<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 can be mixed with mineral hydraulic oils. However, to indicate that the biodegradable properties and proper functioning are maintained when men switch to a different fluid, it is necessary that the hydraulic systems are properly drained and flushed. Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 is compatible with hydronated nitrille (HNBR) and with fluoro sealing materials (FPM \/ FKM) such as Viton\u00ae. Depending on the elastomer degree, it is also compatible with polyester urethane (AU) elastomers. Advanced ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions \u2013 proven protection in tough industry standard tests such as the Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 vane pump and Komatsu \u00b7HPV35+35 high-pressure piston pump.<\/p>\n Excellent viscosity\/temperature characteristics can minimize the changes of viscosity with variation in operation temperature, giving true \u2019multigrade\u2019 characteristics. Superior cleanliness and filterability; coupled with excellent water separation, air release and anti-foam characteristics, all help to maintain or enhance hydraulic system efficiency. The filterability of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 is maintained, even when the fluid is contaminated with water.<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 contains a mean biobased content of over 80% (ASTM D6866) and is biodegraded by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test. The fluid is classified as \u2018not harmful\u2019 to bacteria, algae, freshwater and marine invertebrates, and fish when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines.<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 is less flammable hydraulic fluid with a high flash point, fire point and autoignition temperature for reduced risk of fire\/explosion.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, please contact Procare Technical Helpdesk<\/p>\n Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of personal hygiene are maintained. Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.<\/p>\n Guidance on Health and Safety is available on the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet, which can be obtained from http:\/\/www.epc.shell.com<\/p>\n Take used Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 to an authorised collection point.

Compatibility and Miscibility<\/h3>\n
Compatibility with oils<\/h4>\n
Guidelines for an oil change can be found in ISO 15380 Appendix A. Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 46 can cause old deposits to come loose during use, especially if the system previously operated on mineral hydraulic oil. It is therefore important to check the filters on a comparable basis after the transition to Shell Naturelle HF-E 46.<\/p>\nCompatibility of seals and coatings<\/h4>\n
Other sealing materials and components such as paint, on the other hand, can be affected and we therefore recommend that you consult the respective constructors.<\/p>\nPerformance, Features & Benefits of Shell Naturelle HF-E 46<\/h3>\n
