Food Industry Grease
Use this grease in food-processing and preparation areas.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 00 is about the consistency of applesauce.
Grease that is NSF registered H1 and grease that meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food.
Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease. Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and generally withstands a wider range of temperatures. Grease with aluminum thickener has good moisture resistance and excellent oxidation resistance.
Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity.
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.
Molykote withstands high loads and has good wear resistance.

Gear Box Grease
Excellent flow properties allow this grease to penetrate between gear teeth, so it works well within enclosed gear box applications. It can lubricate under heavy loads. The lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 00 is about the consistency of applesauce.
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.
Mobil Mobilux SHC 007 has a synthetic base oil, so it can handle a wider temperature range, is longer lasting, and is more resistant to oxidation than Mobilux EP 023.
