Section VII - Compressor Fluids
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.

Fluid Life
QuinSyn F and QuinSyn IV provide an expected life of
4,000 hours at normal operating conditions. The expect-
ed 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. Should condensate need to be treat-
ed, Quincy's QIOW fluid/water separators are required.
