Shell avails new Helix Ultra range
Shell unveiled its new Shell Helix
Ultra range of fully synthetic motor
oils, formulated with Shell’s PurePlus
Technology for both petrol and diesel
passenger cars, at a Johannesburg
launch event last month.
The company says the Gas To Liquids
(GTL) Helix range delivers higher levels
of protection against build-up of engine
deposits and meets or surpasses the
most stringent industry specifications.
In a revolutionary process, natural gas
is turned into a pure, clear base oil that
Shell says has almost none of the impurities
found in crude oil. According to Shell,
these base oils provide enhanced viscosity,
friction and volatility performance compared
to traditional group II and group III
base oils.

Shell Horizon media launch held in
Johannesburg
In addition to enhanced
cleansing, Shell Helix Ultra is
reported to provide superior wear
and corrosion protection and
boasts enhanced resistance to
degradation and evaporation.
Alongside the launch, the Shell
Helix core portfolio has been
restructured to help customers
identify the best lubricant for
their business. The line of multifuel passenger car motor oils ranges
from mineral oils to oils with synthetic
technology, to top-of-the-range Shell
Helix Ultra.
Additional Products added to the Victor Reinz Range
REINZOSIL
Reinzosil hardens faster than other silicon
sealing compounds, leaves no identifying marks,
is odourless and can be used on vertical and
overhead surfaces.
Reinzosil is a solvent-free, permanently
elastic, fast-hardening silicon sealing
compound ideal for sealing flat surfaces
where there is a sealing gap (it can also
be applied to assembled components).
RE-MOVE
RE-MOVE is designed for fast removal
of gaskets, gasket remnants and sealing
compounds. It can also be used as a highly
effective and long-lasting sealant remover to
remove glue, resin and paint residue. RE-MOVE
is derived from an ether solvent and propellant
base and can be used with all makes of engine
and vehicles.
Reinzosil seals all surfaces in engines,
gearboxes and axles as well cylinder liners and
synthetic housings.
Boasting high thermal stability, Reinzosil
provides enhanced durability against internal
combustion fuels and diesel fuels, bio-diesel, oil,
grease, lubricants and water.
By being easy to position, apply and shape, it
allows for precise positioning, down to the last
millimetre. Applied evenly, the container empties
completely and leaves no waste. Its protective
cap prevents the nozzle from blocking up.
Reinzosil is used to prevent corrosion
of sealing surfaces and, with acid-free
hardening, the result is no damage caused
to synthetic parts or electrical components.

Offering high levels of adhesion, RE-MOVE is
drip-free. When sprayed, it gives an impermeable,
high-adhesion, highly effective liquid film.
RE-MOVE can be used on vertical and overhead
surfaces. RE-MOVE can also be used on sloped
and vertical surfaces. RE-MOVE is super-quick to
use and does not damage surfaces.
