Food and Beverage Lubrication


Food Grade Lubricants
The Molykote® fluids conform to requirements under H-1 or H-2 designations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), many are kosher approved and have Ag Canada approvals. The H-1 designation means that the lubricated part may have incidental food contact not to exceed 10 parts per million.  The H-2 designation means that the lubricated part may not have contact with food.
 
Resists Emulsification
These fluids are a smart choice for lubrication in environments needing constant wash downs due to their resistance to emulsification with water.
 
From Freezers to Ovens
In addition, to meet the dramatic temperature variations from freezers to ovens, the product line includes H1 lubricants with operating temperature capabilities from -60°C to 150°C (-76°F to 302°F), and H2 lubricants with temperature capabilities from - 60°C to 250°C (-76°F to 482°F).  The product line also includes compounds, greases, pastes, anti-friction coatings and dispersions with temperature capabilities from - 226°C to 1400°C (-375°F to 2550°F).
