Protect equipment while limiting environmental impact. These lubricants are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment.
Biodegradable Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants

Protect food-processing and preparation equipment while limiting environmental impact. These thin, multipurpose lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact and are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment.
Biodegradable Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants for Chain

Protect chain and other moving metal parts found in food-processing and preparation equipment while limiting environmental impact. These lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact and are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, and to protect metal surfaces.
Biodegradable Moisture-Resistant Grease

Protect equipment while having a limited impact on the environment. This grease resists moisture but is still considered an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.
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.

Coolants for Drill Presses

Use these lubricants with magnetic-base drill presses to cool machining cycles, improving workpiece surface finishes and extending tool life. All are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free. Dilute with water. Coolants are designed for use with Hougen drill presses. One 1.6-oz. bottle makes 16 oz. of coolant; one 1-gallon jug makes 11 gallons of coolant.
Milling, Drilling, and Turning Coolants for Micro-Drop Dispensers
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/461/46125t7p1-g02a-digital@halfx_637033012091368151.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Micro-drop coolant dispensers (sold separately) reduce heat with small, controlled droplets of coolant and air that dissipate heat and resist misting. Because only a small amount of coolant is used, they’re easy to clean up. Use for small jobs. They prevent corrosion and inhibit bacteria growth to prevent foul odors. They are chlorine free for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern. Use at full strength.
Vegetable-oil-based coolants are slipperier than synthetic-oil-based coolants, but they break down more quickly. They are sulfur free.

Protect equipment while having a limited impact on the environment. This oil is considered an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Wear-resistant properties keep hydraulic pumps and equipment working, even in high-pressure systems.
Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.

For use in food-processing and preparation areas, this oil is NSF registered H1 or meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 for incidental food contact. It has wear-resistant properties to keep hydraulic pumps and equipment working, even in high-pressure systems.
Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.
Vegetable oil is slicker than mineral oil but also breaks down more quickly.

For air-powered tools in food-processing and preparation areas, this oil prevents corrosion and has wear-resistant and extreme-pressure properties. It absorbs water to reduce condensation and prevent buildup.
Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.
Oil that is NSF registered H1 and oil that meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food.
Vegetable oil is slicker than mineral oil but also breaks down more quickly.
