AEROSHELL ASCENDER

AeroShell Ascender is a high performance, low coking, 5 mm2/s synthetic hindered ester
base stock combined with a state of the art additive system to both improve thermal and
oxidation stability and provide superior elastomer compatibility.

APPLICATIONS

AeroShell Ascender was developed for the latest generation of gas turbine engines as a
low-coking, high compatibility product. Its improved thermal and oxidative stability will
ensure negligible coke formation in the engines, so any traditional engine problems
associated with coke should never occur. It has also been tested extensively for elastomer
compatibility, which is a known service problem.

AeroShell Ascender therefore offers the customer the balance of low coking performance
with excellent elastomer compatibility.

AeroShell Ascender will also deliver performance benefits in today's existing high
powered, high compression engines in which the older generation of oils can be stressed
up to and beyond their thermal limits, as evidenced by oil coking in the high temperature
bearing areas.

FEATURES & BENEFITS


The value of AeroShell Ascender lies in its ability to deliver both low coking and elastomer
compatibility or seal integrity. Until recently, it has been commonly accepted that the two
are mutually incompatible so that improving the oils properties in one regard means
compromising the other.

For airline operators, this problem can be expensive in terms of prematurely degraded
seals. With AeroShell Ascender, Shell Aviation have a product that now deals with this
problem so operators no longer have to choose between performance and compatibility.

Feature Benefit
Excellent elastomer seal compatibility Reduced chance of seal swell or
degradation leading to high oil consumption
and cost of changing the seals
Low coking performance Less chance of oil coke build up in bearing
chambers and oils service pipes resulting in
lower maintenace and cleaning costs
Improved oxidation and thermal stability Extended oil life during arduous engine
conditions
Excellent compatibility with other approved No issues or concerns when changing from
oils one approved oil to AeroShell Ascender
A High Performance Capability grade oil Improved performance over traditional
standard grade oils can help reduce
maintenance costs and extend engines life
