QuinSyn XP
Effective on orders entered on June 1, 2000 and later,
Quincy Compressor
®
began offering QuinSyn XP, a
long life synthetic fluid. QuinSyn XP is the factory fill
for high pressure units (defined as units over 125 psig full
flow). QuinSyn XP replaces QuinSyn HP 68 as our high
pressure fluid and is totally compatible with QuinSyn HP
68 (the fluids can be mixed together with absolutely no
problems). Aftermarket pail and drum orders for
QuinSyn HP 68 will be filled with QuinSyn XP.
QuinSyn XP is a custom blended polyolester (POE) fluid
ideally suited for rotary screw air compressors. QuinSyn
XP is an ISO 68 viscosity fluid with a 12,000 hour life at
100 & 125 psig full flow under normal operating
conditions and 8,000 hours as a high pressure fluid (exact
fluid life is determined by the fluid sampling program).
QuinSyn XP is the only fluid available with Quincy’s ten-
year airend warranty (see Blue Alert #566).

Applications
QuinSyn XP is designed for applications where the fluid
is exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods
of time. Fluid thermostat temperature settings can be
elevated to assist in reducing water content in the fluid in
high humidity applications. Consult Quincy’s Service
Department before making thermostat changes.
Disposal
QuinSyn XP is considered nonhazardous waste. Disposal
of this fluid should be done in accordance with Local,
State, and Federal regulations. Should condensate need to
be treated, Quincy’s QIOWA fluid/water separators are
required.
Fluid Analysis Program
QuinSyn XP will be analyzed similar to QuinSyn although
the primary concern is the total acid number (TAN).
Supplemental “on site” TAN kits will be applicable to this
fluid as well as QuinSyn PG.
NOTICE!
To maintain extended warranty compliance, fluid
samples of QuinSyn XP must be sent to Quincy
Compressor
® Fluid Analysis a minimum of every
2,000 hours.
