Maintaining your competitiveness in the global marketplace requires ongoing product performance improvements, and then there is the ever-present need to adapt to new and emerging legislation.
Shell Flavex 595 is a non-labelled process oil used as an extender oil in the manufacture of tyres. It is made using residual aromatic extract (RAE) technology to produce summer, all-season and high-performance tyres. It offers an alternative to traditional distillate aromatic extract (DAE) products and is fully compliant with EU Directive 2005/69/EC , REACH Regulation 1907/2006, Annex XVII (Item 50).
It presents exciting new opportunities, unlocking competitive advantage for both tyre and styrene butadiene rubber producers. It could also provide a real edge for your products.

At Shell, we understand the crucial role that process oils play in your product and operations. We know that you need defoamer formulations for your customers that offer excellent performance in minimising foam formation, rapidly releasing entrained air, and having low volatility to minimise the potential emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In oil based defoamer formulations, the oil can comprise up to 90% of the formulation. It functions as a carrier fluid, in order both to spread over the surface of the aqueous system to neutralise the surfactant molecules and to transport the hydrophobic ingredients of the defoamer to the double layers of surfactant molecule that stabilise the foam bubbles in order to destroy them.
Shell Risella X can help you unlocking competitive advantage because it offers eXcellent performance and eXtra purity
