Timken's Food Safe Grease is designed to provide improved low- and high-temperature performance in food processing applications. This grease is an NLGI No. 2 aluminum-thickened lubricating grease that contains extra-pressure, anti-wear additives as well as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.

Food Safe Grease is formulated in compliance with CFR, Title 21, Section 178.3570 and meets the requirements for an NSF H1 (formerly USDA H1) lubricant where there is possibility of incidental food contact. This grease also is certified with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for incidental food contact.

Design Attributes

• Provides better low- and high-temperature performance than typical food-grade greases.
• Includes extra-pressure, anti-wear additives.
• Inhibits corrosion and oxidation.
• Operates in temperatures from -40° C to 149° C (-40° F to 300° F).

Applications 

• Food and beverage industry
• Pharmaceutical industry

Product Application

Food Safe Grease can be applied from ambient temperatures of   -18° F to +300° F (-28° C to +149° C) depending on lubrication system design and method of application. Food Safe Grease has an operating temperature range of -40° F to +300° F (-40° C to +149° C) once in the application. Follow equipment manufacturer's recommendations concerning lubrication frequencies.

CAUTION: Follow equipment manufacturer’s recommendations concerning lubrication frequencies. Failure to follow correct lubrication practices can result in premature equipment failure.

Compatibility of Grease

Food Safe Grease is generally compatible with aluminum-complex thickened greases. Timken recommends that all grease be removed from the application prior to changing greases. Then, the lubrication interval is reduced by half for the first lubrication cycle before resuming the normal lubrication interval.
