Food grade lubricant ,food grade greases or food safe lubricant are special lubricants that are specifically designed for use in environments that come into contact with food, ensuring that they do not contaminate food or damage equipment during food production. Such lubricants need to meet specific hygiene and safety standards to ensure food safety and consumer health.

As food safety issues are becoming more concerned, food safe lubricant are being used more and more widely,

Food lubricants are mainly divided into two categories: food-grade lubricating oils and food-grade greases. Both types of lubricants are intended to meet the needs of specific industries, especially in the production of food, medicine,poultry,cosmetics, etc., to avoid lubricants from contaminating products.

Food-grade lubricants are mainly used for lubrication parts that require good fluidity,excellent lubricity,superior wide temperature performance and good pumpability, such as bearings, gears,chains, etc. It has good lubrication properties,it can greatly reduce friction and wear, and protect mechanical equipment and guarantee the normal operation of the equipment exposed to high and low temperature.

Food-grade grease is a paste or semi-solid product, typically used in equipment parts that need to be attached to vertical surfaces at room temperature, such as compressors,bearings and gears . It can work in open or poorly sealed conditions, has the characteristics of non-loss, and provides long-lasting lubrication.

FRTLUBE Food grade greases and oils are idea for  package or transport food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and animal feed industry cessing ,and it is NSF H1 registered and approved for incidental food contact and can be safety used in food processing areas.

FRTLUBE food safe NSF H1 lubricant are widely used in food processing food package or transport food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and animal feed industry,and also applied for most of home appliance such as pumps, mixers, tanks, hoses, pipes, chain drives and convey.

H1 lubricants: Lubricants allowed for equipment parts that may come into contact with food.

H2 lubricants: Usually contains non-toxic ingredients and can be used for equipment lubrication in food processing plants, but the lubricant or lubricated machine parts will not be likely to come into contact with food.

H3 lubricant: Refers to water-soluble oils, and machine parts must be cleaned and emulsions removed before being used again.

These classifications ensure that food manufacturers can choose the right lubricant according to their specific needs when selecting lubricants, thereby ensuring food safety and consumer health.
