Shell Edelex Oil 926

Old product name: Shell Oil 4844

Shell Edelex Oil 926 is a high-quality naphthenic process oil offering light color, low odor, and excellent solvency, ideal for specialized industrial applications requiring refined oil characteristics.

Category:

Shell Edelex Oil 926

( Previously named: Shell Oil 4844 )

Refined naphthenic process oil for industrial processing applications

  • High-purity naphthenic base with light color and low odor

  • Excellent solvency properties for process formulation uses

  • Low pour point (-45 °C) and good thermal characteristics

  • Flash point of 185 °C ensures safer handling in industrial settings

  • Aromatic content below 3% (IP 346 method) for enhanced safety

  • Stable under light exposure; some variants in the range are light-stabilized

  • Ideal for applications requiring low sulfur and polar content oils

Global Product Code: 001B0819



Application:

Shell Edelex Oil 926 is a highly refined naphthenic process oil developed for use in industrial process applications where low odor, light color, and good solvency are essential. It is especially suitable for use in formulations where safety, purity, and stability under thermal or oxidative stress are critical.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Excellent Solvency: Naphthenic structure supports efficient blending and dispersion of additives.
  • Light Colour & Low Odor: Suitable for sensitive or aesthetic process formulations.
  • Thermal Stability: Flash point of 185°C and low volatility enhance operational safety.
  • Low Pour Point: Flows well at low temperatures down to -45°C.
  • Low Aromatic & Polar Content: Less than 3% PCA and 0.2% polar components for improved compatibility and safety.

Main Application Areas:

  • Industrial process formulations
  • Rubber and polymer processing
  • Plasticiser base stocks and dispersants
  • Specialty chemical formulations

Specifications & Approvals:

  • Previous Name: Shell Oil 4844
  • Meets internal Shell specification for process-grade naphthenic oils

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Shell Edelex Oil 926 is not expected to present significant health or safety hazards when used as recommended.
  • Use impervious gloves when handling used oil. Wash skin immediately with soap and water after contact.
  • Do not discharge into drains, soil, or water. Take used oil to an authorised collection point.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
