Food Grade Lubricants

While many mineral-oil-based products meet the NSF International’s food-grade requirements, they often do not measure up to the more demanding temperature and load requirements of modern food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing equipment. Compared to mineral-oil lubricants, synthetics tolerate both lower and higher temperatures, offer improved antiwear properties, extend lubrication intervals, and lengthen the service life of moving parts. Like mineral oils, synthetic food-grade lubricants are nontoxic, odorless, colorless, and tasteless.
