Clarity EliteSyn AW

Clarity EliteSyn AW oils are designed for highperformance hydraulic systems, meeting stringent OEM requirements. They perform well in vane, piston, and gear pumps, and are suitable for applications with pressures over 5000 psi, including plastic injection molding and lightly loaded reciprocating compressors. These oils are compatible with common seal materials like nitrile and fluoro elastomers.

For low-temperature startups, it’s crucial to ensure the oil flows freely to prevent pump cavitation. The oil’s viscosity at low temperatures must be monitored to avoid damage. OEM guidelines should be followed for maximum viscosity during startup and under load conditions, with a recommended maximum viscosity of 860 cSt under load. Equipment should be warmed up under no-load conditions until the oil viscosity is within the recommended range for full load operation. Always refer to the equipment’s service manual and consult the OEM for specific requirements.

Clarity EliteSyn AW hydraulic oils are designed for excellent performance in applications involving:

Clarity EliteSyn AW is designed for environmentally sensitive applications, including:

• Marine
• Agriculture
• Forestry
• Mining
• Construction
  

Clarity EliteSyn AW is highly recommended for high pressure systems:

• Injection moulding
• Mobile equipment

Please contact the equipment manufacturer (OEM) if equipment is operating outside normal operation conditions.

• High viscosity index helps maintain a high operating temperature window to provide year-round performance.
• Good thermal stability helps to minimise varnish and sludge formation, to maintain product viscosity and longer oil life.
• Effective hydrolytic stability helps prevent corrosive wear to help optimise productivity and equipment uptime.
• In laboratory efficiency testing, Clarity Elitesyn AW provided up to 12% efficiency improvement on hydraulic pump efficiency when compared to a typical monograde hydraulic oil (lower VI product with VI<105).
• Specifically developed to ensure good low temperature fluidity for low temperature operations as low as -40°C for ISO 32 grade, and -30°C for ISO 46 and 68 grades.
• The zinc-free, ashless formulation is inherently biodegradable¹ and exhibits very low acute aquatic toxicity to fish and invertebrates based on water accommodated fraction tests, aiding safer disposal in conventional recycling programs.
  

¹ Inherently biodegradable by OECD 301D testing and guidelines in EPA 800-R-11-002, November 2011 evaluations for a similar product. Product is not considered readily biodegradable. Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW should be used if a readily biodegradable EAL fluid is required.

^b Clarity Elitesyn AW (ISO 32, 46, 68) are registered by NSF and are acceptable as lubricants where there is no possibility of food contact (H2) in and around food processing areas. The NSF Nonfood Compounds Registration Program is a continuation of the USDA product approval and listing program, which is based on meeting regulatory requirements of appropriate use, ingredient review and labeling verification.
