Expanding The Portfolio With Pag-based Fluids

Shell is pleased to introduce the new expanded range of industrial lubricants to new and existing customers, including Shell EcoSafe® line of polyalkylene glycol (PAG) - based fire-resistant fluids.

OUR NEW PORTFOLIO

With the new asset acquisition of ACT, you will have access to a more comprehensive portfolio of hydraulic and turbine fluids designed to provide outstanding performance and protection in extreme operating conditions. The extensive portfolio will also include an extended range of compressors, gear oils, greases, biodegradable lubricants, and water-glycols.

For more than 40 years, American Chemical Technologies has been supplying game-changing, PAG-based fluids, water-glycols, other premium synthetic industrial lubricants, and value-adding technical services. In December 2019, ACT assets, intellectual property, technology, products, and manufacturing facilities in Fowlerville, Michigan, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, became part of Shell and its wider business.

At the heart of the portfolio are PAG-based synthetic lubricants, which help provide excellent equipment protection, reduce the impact on the environment, and support more profitable and sustainable operations.
