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 2 CFR 78.3570 (Lubricants With
Incidental Food Contact), QuinSyn F is
authorized by the USDA with an H- 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 0 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.
