THE VALUES SHOWN REFER TO NORMAL INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. THEY ARE APPROXIMATE AND SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE VARIATIONS AND IMPROVEMENT AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION.

Fully synthetic lubricant formulated with non-toxic bases (PAO) and Zinc-free
additivation containing a low amount of sulphated ashes with performance
level ISO-L-HIV DIN 51524 part 3, long lifespan, good filterability and
miscibility with mineral oils.
PAO (polyalphaolefines) are non-toxic bases with paraffin properties that
comply with USA-NSF (former FDA) standards and are classified as API Group
IV Base oils.

PROPERTIES
displacement piston pump
Industrial oleodynamic system requirements are:
 long oil change interval;
 need to reduce start up dead time through a fast putting into operation
of the system, even when starting up at low ambient temperatures. This
allows for energy saving and cost reduction;
 longer component lifespan (pumps, filters, valves, vanes, bearings,
pump and hydraulic engine pistons);
 excellent filterability.
SYNECO PRESS 1400 S is designed to maintain its viscosymetric
characteristics stable within a wide range of temperatures.
More specifically, it guarantees instant cold pumpability with a consequent
reduction of production waste and a limited use of auxiliary heaters under
extreme conditions.

Rotary vane pump

The product is made using a high-quality additivation package that
guarantees successful completion of even the most demanding tests:
 STRONG FAG FE – 8
 FZG 14
Proportional valve
 BRUGGER (Value 38 according to DIN 51347)
 4 BALL
 TIMKEN
and provides the highest level of protection against wear and corrosion,
assuring excellent filterability.
The product also completed the FLENDER and HYDAC foaming and
demulsivity tests successfully, guaranteeing oleodynamic system efficiency.
High thermal and oxidation resistence, derived from the bases selected and
the specific additivation designed to extend fluid life, assures long fluid
change intervals.

temperature range. This last feature also reduces considerably loss of fluid
due to seeping.
LABORATORY TESTS
Contamination level:
Classes or Levels of contamination The new fluid is free from contaminants and, when the engine is functioning,
has to generally maintain the contamination at NAS 1638 class 6 (or ISO
15/12) level or at the level recommended by the system designer, who also
establishes the degree of filtration; lower values are required, according to
manufacturing and component requirements.
Syneco is capable of supplying NAS/ISO class lubricant compliant with
manufacturer instructions or client
requirements. USED OIL DEPOLYMERIZATION

Service and their characteristics and

the presence of metals were
measured. They underwent
Millipore Fluids Contaminant Analysis with 1,2μ - 5μ filters. The acidity
values are shown in the diagram.
Gasket compatibility
The tests conducted on the RS 85 100/1 polyurethane gasket provided by
SANDRETTO (Grugliasco) showed full compatibility of the abovementioned
gasket with Syneco Press 1400 S fluid.
The analysis was articulated in three main phases: first, the gasket was
measured simply as it was upon its arrival to the San Guliano Milanese
laboratory; the gasket then underwent the compatibility test and, once that
was completed, it was again measured.
Furthermore, a test to determine SHORE D hardness was performed.
Initial value of SHORE D3 hardness: 41
Final value of SHORE D3 hardness: 39
The gasket underwent two cyclic temperature variations, and for 180
minutes was immersed in oil previously insufflated with air. Afterwards, the
gasket was immersed in Syneco Press 1400S lubricant for 22000 minutes at
55 °C, then brought to room temperature.

APPLICATIONS
The product is especially recommended for hydraulic systems subject to
great pressures and working loads, in the presence of considerable
temperature variations, such as ceramic press machines or machines that
operate outdoors (airplane platforms, cranes, diggers).
Furthermore, it is recommended for machinery requiring position precise
control over the slightest viscosity variations, such as machine tools and
precision machinery.

THE REASON FOR ZINC-FREE FLUIDS

Polyphosphates are typical present in hydraulic products containing Zinc and
those that tend to undergo early oxidation, forming the characteristic
yellowish coating on filters. If degraded to an exceedingly high degree, these
lubricants cannot flow through the filter, causing:
• Lack of lubrication
• Pump cavitation
• Filter implosion
The following diagram shows the transformation of the Zinc additive into
polyphosphates (source Afton Chemical) in a little more than 500 hours.
