Description

1. Agip DICREA 220:

Durable, High-Performance Compressor Lubricant

Agip DICREA 220 is a durable, premium-grade mineral compressor oil specifically tailored for reciprocating air compressors operating under high-temperature conditions–up to 140 °C at discharge. Made of quality material—paraffinic base with antioxidants, anti-rust, and anti-wear additives—this oil solves common challenges such as carbon residue buildup, ring sticking, and valve port clogging by maintaining a low carbon residue profile

2. Performance of Agip DICREA 220

• Thermal stability: highly stable at high compressor delivery temperatures; effectively limits carbon deposit formation

• Oxidation and aging resistance: passes DIN 51352 and ROCOT tests with very low oxidation byproducts

• Rust and corrosion protection: passes ASTM D 665 A/B, safeguarding metal surfaces

• Anti-wear characteristics: achieves stage 9 in FZG tests—ideal for heavy-duty rotary compressors

• Compatibility with rubber: suitable for standard compressor seals

Compatibility Note:
Agip DICREA 220 blends well with similar mineral compressor oils, but mixing with dissimilar oils is not advised without a clean flush.

3. Features of Agip DICREA 220

• Paraffinic mineral base: ensures predictable viscosity and thermal stability.

• Anti-oxidants and anti-rust additives: reduce varnish and corrosion risks.

• Anti-wear formula: lowers friction and extends component lifespan.

• Low carbon residue: limits sludge and valve blockage.

• Seal-friendly formulation: compatible with common rubber components.

4. Benefits of Agip DICREA 220

• Extended compressor life: by reducing wear and damage.

• Improved efficiency: consistent lubrication under stress reduces energy use.

• Reduced maintenance: longer oil service life—up to 3–4x compared to conventional oils
