QuinSyn Fluids
QuinSyn F
QuinSyn F is Quincy’s food grade fluid, suitable in
applications where there may be incidental food contact.
Compliant with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 (Lubricants With
Incidental Food Contact), QuinSyn F is authorized by the
USDA with an H-1 rating for use in federally inspected
meat and poultry plants. Since the fluid is viewed as a
possible indirect food additive, the limit for food contact
is 10 ppm. Near white in color and low in volatility,
QuinSyn F is ideal for clean service. A five-year extended
warranty is available with the use of QuinSyn F.
QuinSyn IV
QuinSyn IV is a custom-blended Polyalphaolefin (PAO)
partial synthetic hydrocarbon fluid giving improved
lubrication at high and low temperatures, reduced
volatility, good chemical inertness and hydrolytic stability,
and compatibility with mineral oils and equipment
designed for use with mineral oils. QuinSyn IV is a long
life fluid formulated especially for flooded screw
compressors. The fluid, clear with a green tint, is
available on all flooded compressors as a factory fill
option. Extended warranties are not available with the
use of QuinSyn IV.
