Shell Risella X Process Oils

Enhancing formulations with high-performance process oils
From optical cables and tyres to textiles, the items we use every day rely on chemical formulations developed to deliver quality and safety. As well as meeting shifting consumer expectations, these products need to adhere to increasingly stringent regulatory standards. So, the process oils that go into these formulations must provide greater performance and purity – helping formulators to gain a competitive advantage with consumers.
The Shell Risella X range of process oils based on gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology has been developed to unlock that competitive advantage by offering excellent performance and extra purity. They are better for human health demonstrating excellent behaviour through good air separation, less foaming and very low fogging. They are also better for processing, with longer oil life and improved cold working driving productivity and efficiency.
Shell Risella X oils add value to your products by supporting safer and more efficient operations.
Excellent process efficiency
Minimal variation in the viscosity of Shell Risella X oils, even when faced with high temperatures, helps to deliver more reliable and more efficient operations.
Improved safety
Shell Risella X oils deliver up to four times less evaporation loss – reducing the risk of mist formation to enhance the safety and security of operations.
Reduced foam formation
Shell Risella X oils produce up to six times less foam than alternative conventional oil technologies, with its air-release properties demonstrated by its foaming stability.
Enhanced purity
With very low PAH levels compared to mineral white oils, the purity of Shell Risella X oils is appropriate for applications requiring higher levels of purity to meet stringent legislation.
