Shell GTL Performance Fluids

Shell GTL Performance Fluids are a series of high-purity paraffinic fluids derived from natural gas via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis comprising only iso and normal paraffins. This unique synthetic composition is well positioned to meet a range of industrial needs and applications.

Improved Performance In Wide Variety Of Applications

High Purity

Virtually no sulphur, nitrogen,aromatic, and low odour.

High Performance

Relatively low viscosity and high flash point allows a wide range of Shell GTL Performance Fluids to be adapted for various applications.

Reduce Energy Consumption

Higher thermal conductivity and heat capacity ultimately reduces production cost.

Higher Efficiency per Volume Consumption/ Formulation

Significantly lower densities compared to conventional solvents positively impact volume consumption/formulation.

Good Environmental Properties & Health Management

Low Ecotoxicity and Phytotoxicity

Safer for aquatic, sediment, and terrestrial dwelling organisms during application such as metal working or drilling. It is also safe for crops with no damage to plants when used in aerosols as pesticides.

Improved Working Conditions

Lower misting potential, very low odour during metal working, paint and aerosol usage, leads to less inhalations. Lower tendency of foaming during application with less spills improves operations efficiency and worker comfort. Lower photochemical reactivity and non-skin sensitising or eye irritating properties makes for safer exposure.

Readily Biodegradable and Lower Evaporation

Non-aromatic and naphthenic with lower branching of molecules which promotes better biodegradability. Lower evaporation losses also helps to lower the impact to environment due to less emissions.
