Shell Torcula Oils  
Rockdrill and pneumatic tool lubricants
 
Shell Torcula Oils have been developed to meet the special lubrication requirements of all percussion type pneumatic tools, including those subjected to the most
arduous conditions.  They are based on a blend of highly refined mineral oils and selected additives chosen for their ability to maintain high oil film strength and
effectively lubricate the demanding requirements of pneumatic drill impact mechanisms.

Applications
•Percussion type pneumatic tools, including those used for rock drilling

•Oil mist lubrication systems and air tools

•Air tools

•Gear and bearing lubrication systems subject to water ingress

Advice on applications not covered in this leaflet may be obtained from your Shell representative.

Performance Features and Benefits
•Excellent lubrication performance and anti-wear properties Developed to provide excellent lubricity and anti-
wear properties to protect percussion tools including rockdrills operating under arduous conditions.

•Good thermal and oxidation stability Resists sludge and deposit formation in critical areas of air driven tools where elevated
temperatures are found.

•Good low temperature fluidity Remains mobile at low temperatures and resist oil build-up in areas cooled by rapid air
expansion.

•Excellent corrosion protection Provide high levels of corrosion protection even under severe water wash conditions.

Specification and Approvals
