Synthetic lubricants come with NSF H-1 approval

A Newgate Simms product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 28, 2004

Although many mineral-oil based products meet NSF International food grade requirement, they often do not measure up to demanding temperature and load requirements.

The faster food process machinery runs, the more likely it is to benefit from synthetic oils and greases.

Although many mineral-oil based products meet the NSF International food grade requirement, they often do not measure up to the more demanding temperature and load requirements of modern food, pharmaceutical and beverage processing equipment.

Like mineral oils, synthetic food grade lubricants are nontoxic, odourless, colourless, tasteless and conform to the requirements of NSF H-1 for use in and around food processing areas.

However, synthetics tolerate both lower and higher temperatures, offer improved antiwear properties, extend lubrication intervals and lengthen the life of moving parts.

Nye has extended its food approved lubricant portfolio and now provides a range of synthetic oil chemistry lubricants with NSF H-1 approval, with temperature capabilities al low as -50C and up to +260C.
