Agip ARNICA S 46

Description

1.Agip ARNICA S 46: Durable, Fire‑Resistant Hydraulic Oil

Agip ARNICA S 46 is a durable, high-performance hydraulic fluid crafted from biodegradable organic esters and premium additives. Designed for systems exposed to fire hazards, such as rolling mills, welding areas, and hot metal transfers, it addresses common challenges with a unique combination of fire resistance, eco‑friendliness, and anti-wear protection. Its specific‑use formulation solves concerns about safety and environmental exposure.

2. Performance

• Fire Hazard Protection: Passes Factory Mutual spray flammability tests, dramatically reducing ignition risk

• Biodegradability (>70%): Complies with OECD 301B—ideal for environmentally sensitive areas

• Extreme Temperature Range: High viscosity index (~186) ensures stable performance from –36 °C to >70 °C

• Outstanding Anti-Wear: Achieves FZG Stage 12, protecting hydraulic components from abrasion

• Rapid Water Separation: Excellent demulsibility maintains lubricant film in humid or wet conditions

• Corrosion Resistance: Passes ASTM D665B rust test, safeguarding metals

Mixing: Best used alone. Flush before switching to maintain performance standards.

3. Features

• Organic Ester Base Oil: biodegradable, fire‑resistant materials

• Viscosity Index ~186: stable across wide temperatures
