About Lubricants

About Grease

This grease meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 for direct contact with food and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use with components that come into contact with drinking water. Formulated with silica thickener and silicone, it resists washing away and has excellent resistance to wear. Apply directly to seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3-4 is between the consistencies of vegetable shortening and frozen yogurt.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.

Food Industry Grease

Use this grease in food-processing and preparation areas.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 61 is certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water. Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and generally withstands a wider range of temperatures. Grease with silica thickener has excellent heat and moisture resistance and good oxidation resistance.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Food Industry Electrical-Insulating Grease

Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food. Also known as dielectric grease, it lubricates and protects electrical systems. It resists water and corrosion. This grease can be used on most rubber and plastic.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a grease can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.

Grease that is NSF Registered H1 and grease that meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 51 and FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.300 are rated for direct contact with food. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 61 is certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water.

Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. DuPont Molykote 4 Electrical Insulating Compound also acts as a moisture barrier.

Food Industry Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food. It prevents wear and corrosion to keep carriages, guide rails, slides, tracks, and ways fast and accurate.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Grease that is NSF registered H1 is rated for incidental contact with food. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking Water is certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water. Grease with PTFE thickener has good heat resistance and meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for components that come into contact with drinking water.

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.

Food Industry Mold-Release Lubricants

Use these lubricants for molding and casting parts that don't need to be painted in food-processing and preparation areas, or when molding parts that will be used around food. Apply them to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing.

All DuPont Molykote lubricants can also be used as a multipurpose lubricant to keep food-processing equipment from sticking. Use Molykote 7 Release Compound with plastic and rubber. It resists drying and oxidation.

Lubricants that are FDA 21 Compliant CFR 175.300 and/or meet NSF ANSI 51 can have direct contact with food. Lubricants that meet NSF/ANSI 61 are certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water.
