Food grade lubricant

Food grade (according to the FDA) Lubricant means the type of lubricant that can be used in applications and manufacturing processes involving the production of food. At Tribotec we offer NSF registered lubricants, which are approved for use in and around food production. NSF stands for National Sanitation Foundation, and is an independent company with a registration programme that ensures that food safety is not compromised by these lubricants. 

Food grade lubricants - NSF registration H1 and H2 

There are two types of NSF classifications: H1 and H2. NSF H1 means that the lubricant is authorised for use in temporary contact with food. It can be, for example, a release agent for gaskets, or a lubricant for machinery.  NSF H2 includes those lubricants that must not be used when there is a risk of food contact. 

OKS - customised for food applications

Food grade (according to the FDA) Lubricants are indispensable in many applications, both for the manufacture of household products, as well as for manufacturers of food packaging or in the pharmaceutical industry.
