Cost Savings
Reduced fire protection requirements and simpler installation lower the cost of a transformer project — and the cost of running it.
Welcome to MV-Lub – Shell MIDEL Authorized Sales Partner Germany
From the world’s leading brand of ester transformer fluids to preventing transformer fires and protecting what matters — the whole case for ester, without a word of ours.
We are your expert for Ester Transformer Fluids
Reduced fire protection requirements and simpler installation lower the cost of a transformer project — and the cost of running it.
High fire points classify MIDEL as a K-class less flammable liquid — transformers can stand where mineral oil cannot.
Readily biodegradable ester base oil (OECD 301). In the event of a leak, the ester base oil biodegrades faster than conventional mineral oil.
Superior moisture tolerance and operation at 20 % overload keep the network up when demand peaks.
Synthetic and natural esters — and the service that keeps them in use.
Natural esterMIDEL eN 1204
Natural ester from bio-based raw materials (rapeseed). Readily biodegradable ester base oil (OECD 301) and a fire point above 300 °C — the everyday choice for distribution transformers.
Synthetic esterMIDEL 7131
The original synthetic ester. High fire point and superior moisture tolerance — proven in power transformers from city substations to underground sites.
Natural esterMIDEL eN 1215
Natural ester based on soya bean. Made from bio-based raw materials (100 % bio-based carbon, ASTM D6866-21), with the same fire safety as the rest of the range.
ServiceMIDEL Regen
Regeneration for ester fluid in service: used synthetic ester is reprocessed instead of being disposed of.
As Shell MIDEL Authorized Sales Partner Germany, MV-Lub supplies ester transformer fluids across Europe — from the first specification to delivery, retrofilling and support on site.

Ester fluids do not just replace mineral oil — they change what a transformer is allowed to do, and where it is allowed to stand.
Fire safety of ester fluids documented by the US Bureau of Reclamation.
K-class classification means less flammable — and fewer fire walls, bunds and separation distances around the unit.
Ester absorbs far more water than mineral oil before insulation performance suffers, which protects the paper and the asset.
Headroom when demand peaks — capacity you already own, without a second transformer.
Suitable for water protection zones, city centres, tunnels and offshore platforms.
