Agip BETULA S 46

Description

1. Agip BETULA S 46

Agip BETULA S 46 is a top-tier synthetic refrigeration compressor oil engineered to provide superior performance in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Developed by Eni, this lubricant is specifically designed for use with halogenated refrigerants, including R-134a and R-404A, as well as ammonia in compatible systems. It ensures excellent thermal stability, minimal oil carry-over, and effective lubrication at low evaporator temperatures.

Its formulation includes polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and specialized additives that resist oxidation, reduce wear, and improve efficiency in both domestic and industrial cooling units. Agip BETULA S 46 is ideal for compressors operating under continuous duty cycles in harsh environments where durability and precision matter most.
