Agip RADULA 150

Description

Agip RADULA 150 is not just a lubricant; it’s an engineering solution designed for the heart of industrial operations. This premium extreme pressure (EP) industrial gear oil is specifically formulated to protect heavily loaded gears and bearings in a wide array of machinery. Its primary purpose is to minimize wear, reduce friction, dissipate heat, and prevent corrosion, thereby extending equipment life and maximizing operational uptime.

What sets Agip RADULA 150 apart is its sophisticated blend of high-viscosity index base oils and a robust additive package containing sulfur-phosphorus compounds. This unique formulation solves the most common challenges in industrial settings: premature component failure due to micropitting and scuffing, lubricant breakdown under high thermal loads, and the costly downtime associated with both. It is a product born from Eni’s decades of lubrication expertise, offering a reliable, durable shield for your most critical assets.

2. Performance of Agip RADULA 150

The performance of Agip RADULA 150 under duress is where its true value is realized. In conditions of extreme pressure and shock loading—common in mining crushers, steel mill gearboxes, and heavy-duty processing equipment—the EP additives react with metal surfaces to form a protective, sacrificial layer that prevents metal-to-metal contact. This ensures remarkable durability and reliability, even when equipment is pushed to its operational limits.

Its thermal stability is exceptional, resisting oxidation and viscosity breakdown at sustained high temperatures, which maintains a protective lubricating film. While Agip RADULA 150 is designed as a standalone, high-performance fluid, it is always recommended to consult OEM guidelines and conduct compatibility tests before mixing with other lubricants, as the complex chemical EP additives may not be compatible with all formulations.

3. Features of Agip RADULA 150

Advanced Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives: Formulated with sulfur-phosphorus compounds that provide superior protection against wear, micropitting, and scuffing under heavy loads.

High Viscosity Index: Ensures consistent viscosity and film strength across a wide range of operating temperatures, from cold starts to high-running temperatures.

Exceptional Thermal & Oxidative Stability: Quality materials resist degradation, sludge, and varnish formation, extending the oil’s service life and reducing frequency of replacement.

Outstanding Anti-Corrosion Properties: Provides effective protection for ferrous and non-ferrous components against rust and corrosion, even in harsh, humid environments.

Excellent Demulsibility: Rapidly separates from water, preventing the formation of acidic emulsions that can damage equipment.

4. Benefits of Agip RADULA 150

Substantial Cost Savings: Drastically reduces unplanned downtime and expensive component replacements by extending gear and bearing life.

Improved Machinery Efficiency: Low friction characteristics translate to smoother operation and reduced energy consumption.

Reduced Maintenance Frequency: Long oil life and excellent stability mean longer intervals between changes, lowering labor and material costs.

9. API

This product is classified under the API GL-4/GL-5 service category, confirming its suitability for hypoid gears and other applications requiring the highest levels of extreme pressure protection.

10. Operating Temperatures

Agip RADULA 150 performs optimally within a broad temperature range of -10°C to 120°C (14°F to 248°F). Its high viscosity index ensures it remains fluid enough for cold starts while maintaining its protective film strength at peak operating temperatures. It offers superior protection against corrosion in humid and wash-down environments.

11. Container per Liter

Available in a variety of container sizes to meet any need:

• 1-Liter Bottle
• 5-Liter Jug
• 20-Liter Pail
• 205-Liter (55-Gallon) Drum
• 1000-Liter Tote (IBC)

12. Base Oil

Agip RADULA 150 is formulated with a blend of highly refined Group II and Group III base oils. These quality materials provide a high viscosity index, excellent natural stability, and a strong foundation for the advanced additive system, outperforming conventional mineral oils.

13. Recommendations for Use

• Agip RADULA 150 is recommended for:
• Enclosed, industrial gearboxes operating under heavy and shock loads.
• Hypoid gear drives.
• Worm gears (consult viscosity requirements).
• Heavily loaded rolling element bearings.

Always consult your equipment manufacturer’s manual for final approval and the correct viscosity grade.

14. Maintenance Conditions

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place indoors. Keep containers tightly sealed and upright to prevent contamination.
• Application: Ensure the system is clean and free of previous lubricants. Apply using clean, dedicated transfer equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
• Disposal: Collect used oil for recycling. Handle as industrial waste.

15. Applications

• Specific Machinery: Crushers, ball mills, extruders, large industrial fans, pumps, conveyor drives, mixing drives, and mining equipment gearboxes.
• Industries: Cement, mining, aggregate, metal processing, power generation, chemical processing, and marine industries.

16. Popular Industries

• Mining & Quarrying: For crushers and conveyor systems facing extreme dust and load.
• Steel Manufacturing: In rolling mills and continuous casters where high heat and load are constant.
• Cement Production: Protecting kiln and ball mill drives from immense torque and contamination.

18. Reapplication Frequency

The reapplication interval depends on operating conditions, temperature, and contamination levels. Under normal conditions, oil analysis is recommended to determine optimal change intervals, typically ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 operating hours.

19. Drop Point

As a gear oil, it does not have a “drop point” in the traditional grease sense. Its performance is defined by its viscosity and flash point.

20. Viscosity

• Viscosity Grade: ISO VG 150
• Kinematic Viscosity (@ 40°C): 150 cSt ± 10%

This viscosity is ideal for maintaining a thick, protective film in medium to high-speed industrial gearboxes under heavy loads.

21. Flash Point

The flash point of Agip RADULA 150 is typically >220°C (428°F). This high flash point is a critical safety feature, significantly reducing the risk of ignition in high-temperature industrial environments and confirming its thermal stability.
