Shell Alvania WR
Shell Alvania WR is a premium quality,
water resistant grease, that has proven to
be an extremely popular grease,
especially in the steel industry (rolling
bearings), in applications where water
wash-out is a key issue. Its special features
allow reduction of consumption up to 30%
under intense water exposure.

lubricants are easily sprayable and free from health and
safety concerns. Due to their semi-synthetic base oil blend
and specific additives, they can reduce your lubricant
consumption by up to 50% while ensuring perfect
lubrication for your machinery.
Shell Alvania GL 00 & Shell Tivela GL 00
Shell Alvania GL 00 offers you excellent lubrication for
gear teeth due to its natural adherence, even after long
stop periods, and superior protection against corrosion
compared to oils and sodium soap greases. Shell Tivela
GL 00 is ideally suited for highly loaded worm gears
operating under high temperatures. It can be used from -
30°C up to +150°C thanks to the intrinsic quality of its
synthetic base oil.
