Syntek Dental Handpiece Lubricant
100% Synthetic • Made in the USA • Certified Food Grade • One-Step Formula
The Next Generation of Dental Handpiece Lubrication
Engineered for Dental Handpiece Maintenance
Syntek is a 100% synthetic dental handpiece lubricant formulated with Group IV PAO synthetic base stocks. Unlike conventional mineral-oil-based lubricants, its engineered base oil provides consistent lubricating properties and excellent stability under the heat and repeated sterilization cycles encountered in dental handpiece maintenance.
Syntek can be used in all lubricated dental instruments, including:
- High-speed, low-speed, and electric handpieces
- Hygiene handpieces and attachments
- Nosecones and contra angles
Why We Use a Full Synthetic Lubricant
1. Stable Lubricating Film
PAO synthetic base oils are engineered for consistent molecular structure and lubricating performance. In dental handpieces, that means a stable oil film where bearings, gears, and other moving components depend on reliable lubrication.
2. Designed for Autoclave Conditions
Syntek is formulated to remain stable through repeated sterilization cycles and to resist the oxidation, residue, and varnish formation that can occur as conventional lubricants are repeatedly exposed to heat.
3. One-Step Maintenance
Syntek is applied before sterilization as part of the normal handpiece maintenance process. When used as directed, no additional post-sterilization lubrication step is required.
4. Clean, Consistent Base Chemistry
Base stocks are synthesized rather than refined directly from crude petroleum. Their uniform chemistry provides predictable viscosity, strong oxidation resistance, and excellent thermal stability—properties well suited to precision dental instruments.
5. Developed for Professional Use
Syntek has been used by dental handpiece repair professionals for years and is available in formats designed for both individual dental practices and professional handpiece maintenance.
Syntek vs. Conventional Mineral-Oil-Based Lubricants
| Property | Syntek Full Synthetic | Typical Mineral-Oil-Based Lubricants |
|---|---|---|
| Base Oil | Group IV PAO synthetic base stock | Refined petroleum-based mineral oil |
| Molecular Structure | Engineered for consistency | Contains a broader mixture of hydrocarbon structures |
| Thermal Stability | High resistance to heat-related degradation | Performance varies with base-oil quality and formulation |
| Oxidation Resistance | High | Generally lower than PAO synthetic base oils |
| Residue Formation | Designed to minimize deposits and residue | Greater potential for oxidation-related deposits under repeated heat exposure |
| Lubricating Film | Stable and consistent | Varies by base oil and formulation |
| Post-Sterilization Lubrication | Not required when used as directed | Depends on the lubricant and manufacturer's maintenance procedure |
| Food Grade | Certified food grade | Depends on the individual product |
Professional Application
Syntek is available in precision dropper bottles and aerosol form with handpiece-specific adapters, allowing dental practices to choose the application method that best fits their maintenance routine.
