Agip BETULA 68

Description

1.Agip BETULA 68: Durable Circulation Oil for Gearboxes & Bearings

Agip BETULA 68 is a durable, high-grade mineral lubricant designed for gear units, bearings, and medium-load mechanical systems. Crafted from selectively refined base oils, this quality material delivers excellent friction reduction and protection in industrial applications. BETULA 68 solves challenges like poor film strength and deposit buildup, ensuring smooth, long-lasting operation in gearboxes and circulation systems.

Industry technicians frequently report improved component lifespan and lower downtime after switching to BETULA 68 in compressors and circulating systems.

2. Performance of Agip BETULA 68

• Thermal stability: Maintains viscosity and resists oxidation even under continuous load at operating temperatures up to ~90–100 °C.

• Viscosity consistency: ISO VG 68 grade ensures strong lubrication film in bearings and gears.

• Wear protection: Prevents metal-to-metal contact and minimizes wear particles.

• Clean-running: Minimal carbon residue due to selective refining.

• Water separation: Good demulsibility preserves lubrication in damp or humid conditions.

• Compatibility: Blends with ISO-R mineral oils, facilitating flexible maintenance.
