Section VII - Compressor Fluids QuinSyn Fluids QuinSyn F
QuinSyn
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 is a Polyalphaolefin (PAO) type synthetic fluid. Effective November 1, 2000, QuinSyn Compressor Fluid is no longer available as a factory fill option. QuinSyn is still available in aftermarket pails, drums and kits. Extended warranties are not available with the use of QuinSyn, except on compressors shipped prior to June 1, 2000.
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.
Fluid Life QuinSyn F and QuinSyn IV provide an expected life of 4,000 hours at normal operating conditions. The expected life of QuinSyn is 8,000 hours or one year (whichever occurs first) at normal operating conditions. Disposal QuinSyn products are considered nonhazardous under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 21 CFR 1910.1200. They carry no hazardous labels or warnings under that standard.
