Clarity EliteSyn AW

Clarity EliteSyn AW hydraulic oils are designed for effective 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

For low temperature startups, care must be taken to ensure that the hydraulic oil flows freely into the pump and no cavitation occurs. Otherwise, subjecting a pump to cavitation will cause damage to critical components.

Careful attention to the oil’s viscosity at low temperature is the key to ensuring adequate flow and preventing cavitation.

Please consult with the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of your equipment to determine the maximum viscosity allowed during startup under no load conditions.

The recommended maximum viscosity under load conditions for hydraulic oil as specified by most pump OEMs is 860 cSt. For cold starts under no-load conditions, the startup viscosity can be much higher than 860 cSt. No-load running conditions should be applied until the equipment has warmed up to the maximum startup viscosity under load as recommended by the OEM, and full load operation can then be applied when the oil viscosity falls below this recommended viscosity under load.

Refer to the service manual of the equipment to ensure that the minimum fluid viscosity requirements are met at the highest operating temperature. Please consult with the equipment manufacturer (OEM) if equipment is operating outside normal operation conditions.

Compatibility testing should be conducted if Clarity EliteSyn AW is used to top up an existing system.

Standard recommendation is to always drain and flush the system.

• 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 optimize 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).
