Shell Tonna S

Shell Tonna S – increased machining accuracy

Shell Tonna S is a premium slideway oil formulated to help increase machining accuracy while protecting your equipment from corrosion and wear.

One of the most vital aspects of a machine tool is the excellence of its machining accuracy.
Increased machining accuracy means:

• cost savings (less scrap)
• increase in productivity (right first time, less re-work)

To improve machining accuracy, it is necessary to prevent “chatter” and “stick-slip” by reducing the friction resistance of sliding surfaces.
Slideway oils are a key element in increasing machining accuracy. Tests have shown that differences of up to 300% in friction coefficient can be experienced in identical slideways when using different slideway oils.

Excellent friction properties
Shell Tonna S has outperformed competitors in recognised friction tests by reducing the coefficient of friction between slideways and has demonstrated exceptional anti stick-slip properties.

In addition, Shell Tonna S has been formulated:

• to help protect the slideways from corrosion and wear
• to be effective on metal as well as polymer slideways
• to have good separation from coolant properties

That’s why Shell Tonna S has been approved by more than 80 major machine tool manufacturers across the world including some of the biggest names.
