Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 is a high-performance mineral-based heat transfer fluid designed for use in closed, indirect heating systems, offering resistance to oxidation, cracking, and deposit formation at high operating temperatures.
High-performance heat transfer oil for enclosed circulating systems in industrial and household applications
Formulated from highly refined mineral oils for thermal stability and long service life
Resists oil cracking, oxidation, and thickening, enabling extended maintenance intervals
Excellent system efficiency due to low viscosity and low vapour pressure
Minimizes formation of volatile decomposition products
High solvency reduces deposit formation and keeps internal surfaces clean
Suitable for film temperatures up to 330 °C and bulk temperatures up to 300 °C
Complies with ISO 6743-12 Family Q and DIN 51522 standards
Previously known as: Shell Thermia B
Global Product Code: 001D8388
Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 is a high-performance fluid developed for use in indirect, closed heat transfer systems. Its formulation based on carefully selected and refined mineral oils ensures excellent performance in both industrial systems—such as chemical plants and textile production—and in domestic systems like oil-filled radiators.
