QuinSyn Fluids
QuinSyn F
QuinSyn F is Quincy’s food grade fluid, suitable in ap -
plications 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 extend -
ed 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 volatil-
ity, 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 compres -
sors. 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.
