Agip DICREA SX 46

Description

Agip DICREA SX 46 is a durable, premium compressor oil constructed with quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) material and fortified with anti-oxidant, anti-rust, and anti-wear additives. Designed for both rotary screw and reciprocating air compressors, it delivers exceptional protection and reliability—especially under high-temperature (≈100 °C–150 °C discharge) and high-duty conditions  Professional users value it as a specific-use lubricant that minimizes downtime and maximizes service intervals.

2. Performance of Agip DICREA SX 46

• Extended oil-life: Offers 6,000–8,000 hours between oil changes—3–4 × longer than mineral oils

• Thermal and oxidation stability: Remarkably resistant to high-heat breakdown (DIN 51532, Conradson 0.86 % residue)

• Anti-wear protection: Achieves FZG ISO stage 9 performance, safeguarding critical compressor parts

• Rust and corrosion resistance: Meets ASTM D 665 B I/II for wet and dry conditions

• Seal compatibility: Fully compatible with elastomers like NBR and Viton used in compressor seals

Mixing Tip: Use alone or with other PAO L-DAB/D-coated fluids after proper flush to ensure optimal performance.

3. Key Features of Agip DICREA SX 46

• High-grade PAO base oil—stores thermal and oxidation stability

• High viscosity index (~136)—consistent performance across temperatures
