Clarity® Elitesyn™ AW

Clarity EliteSyn AW oils are designed to meet the stringent demands of modern OEM designs, where increased performance of the hydraulic oil is required. They have demonstrated excellent performance in hydraulic systems using vane-, piston-, and gear-type pumps in mobile and stationary equipment. They are designed to provide protection in high performance hydraulic applications where pressures may exceed 5000 psi. These oils are recommended for use in plastic injection molding where OEMs require a fluid meeting DIN 51524 or equivalent industry performance standards. They are also suitable for use in lightly loaded reciprocating compressors.

Clarity EliteSyn AW oils are compatible with seal materials commonly found in most hydraulic systems, including nitrile and flouro elastomers (NBR and FKM). 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. Noload 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.

Hydraulic system efficiency 

High performance formula helps to improve hydraulic response time. It also contributes to an increase in operating temperature range and can improve production, as well as offering potential for lower energy costs.

Premium performance

Ashless formulation meets or exceeds major vane, piston and gear pump manufacturer requirements offering excellent protection of hydraulic systems against wear, rust and corrosion along with exceptional hydrolytic stability, water separability, and filterability for smooth equipment operation.

Exceptional oxidation and thermal stability

Good thermal stability helps to minimize varnish and sludge formation, to maintain product viscosity and contribute to longer oil life. 

Excellent air release and foam control

Designed to ensure low air content in hydraulic fluid for improved equipment responsiveness.

Wide operating temperature range

Minimum change in viscosity over wide operating temperatures due to high viscosity index. Multi-viscosity performance reduces the need to change viscosity grades for seasonal changes. 

Excellent low temperature pumpability 

Specifically developed to ensure good low temperature fluidity in low temperature operations, with operating temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F) for ISO 32 grade, and -30°C (-22°F) for ISO 46 and 68 grades.

Low toxicity 

Zinc-free formula is inherently biodegradable1 and has very low acute aquatic toxicity to both fish and invertebrates based on water accommodated fraction tests, aiding safer disposal in conventional recycling programs.
