For use in food-processing and preparation areas, this oil is NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact. Use it to reduce wear on rings, cylinders, and other moving parts in most major manufacturers' air compressors.

Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.

Use this grease in food-processing and preparation areas.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Grease that is NSF registered H1 and grease that meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food.

Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease. Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and generally withstands a wider range of temperatures. Grease with aluminum thickener has good moisture resistance and excellent oxidation resistance. Grease with silica thickener has excellent heat and moisture resistance and good oxidation resistance. Grease with calcium sulfonate thickener has good heat resistance and excellent moisture and oxidation resistance. Grease with silicone thickener has excellent heat and moisture resistance and good oxidation resistance.

Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Molykote withstands high loads and has good wear resistance.

This grease remains stable and in place under high pressure, heavy loads, and shock loads. It's often used to lubricate heavy-duty food production equipment.

Grease that is NSF registered H1 and grease that meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Weld load measures a grease's ability to withstand pressure in kilograms of force (kgf). The higher the rating, the more pressure the grease can withstand.

Grease with silica thickener has excellent heat and moisture resistance and good oxidation resistance.

Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.
