Product catalog summary
Specifications & Approvals
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I exceeds the IEC60296: Edition 4 (2012) standards for high oxidation stability and low sulphur content. It meets the requirements of major equipment manufacturers and utility companies, offering oxidation stability up to five times better than the highest industry standards.
Setting a New Standard
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is the latest in the Shell Diala range, designed to handle the stresses of higher voltages and harsher conditions in modern transformers. It has been a trusted product in the power industry for over 50 years.
Superior Performance
This oil enhances transformer efficiency and longevity, offering improved reliability due to its resistance to degradation and effectively zero sulphur content, which prevents copper corrosion. It also provides excellent thermal properties for overload conditions and low-temperature startups.
Key Properties
  • High Flashpoint: 191°C
  • Sulphur Content: Effectively zero
  • Low Viscosity at Low Temperature: -30°C
Applications
Suitable for all types of power, transmission, and distribution transformers, Shell Diala S4 ZX-I offers greater reliability and performance, leveraging Shell GTL technology.
Global Consistency
Derived from purified natural gas, Shell Diala S4 ZX-I provides consistent and reliable performance, unaffected by crude oil variations. Its long-term availability is supported by abundant natural gas supplies.
Transformer Reliability
Being essentially sulphur-free, it protects transformers from failure by reducing the risk of corrosive sulphur formation.
Transformer Performance
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I resists degradation, reducing the ageing rate of oil and insulating paper, thus extending transformer life. It performs well across a wide temperature range, with outstanding low-temperature flow properties.
Operational Simplicity
Easy to use and fully miscible with traditional oils, it can enhance the performance of some conventional naphthenic grades. It contains hydrocarbon base oil and antioxidants, free from PCBs, DBDS, and other additives.
Performance Metrics
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I shows significantly less sludge and better performance in oxidation tests compared to industry standards, with more than 75% below the industry limit for sludge formation.
