Aeroshell Fluid 41: Main Applications Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations

Technical Data Sheet
AeroShell Fluid 41
AeroShell Fluid 41 is a mineral hydraulic oil manufactured to a very high level of cleanliness, and possesses improved
fluid properties. AeroShell Fluid 41 contains additives which provide excellent low temperature fluidity as well as
exceptional anti-wear, oxidation - corrosion inhibition and shear stability. In addition metal de-activators and foam
inhibitors are included in this high viscosity index fluid to enhance performance in hydraulic applications. AeroShell
Fluid 41 is capable of wide temperature range operation.
AeroShell Fluid 41 is dyed red.

These characteristics are typical of current production. Whilst future production will conform to Shell's specification, variations in
these characteristics may occur.
Health, Safety & Environment
· Health and Safety

Guidance on Health and Safety is available on the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet, which can be obtained from
http://www.epc.shell.com/
· Protect the Environment

Take used oil to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.

· Advice
Advice on applications not covered here may be obtained from your Shell representative.
· *Superclean grades
The British specification DEF STAN 91-48 covers two grades (normal and superclean) of mineral hydraulic fluid which differ only
in their cleanliness limits. AeroShell Fluid 41 is manufactured to meet the superclean requirements and thus it also meets the
requirements of the normal grade.
