About Lubricants

About Grease

About Oil

Protect equipment while having a limited impact on the environment. This oil is considered an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Wear-resistant properties keep hydraulic pumps and equipment working, even in high-pressure systems.

Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.

Biodegradable Penetrating Lubricants

Protect equipment while limiting environmental impact. These lubricants are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment.

Biodegradable Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants

Protect food-processing and preparation equipment while limiting environmental impact. These thin, multipurpose lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact and are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment.

Biodegradable Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants for Chain

Protect chain and other moving metal parts found in food-processing and preparation equipment while limiting environmental impact. These lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact and are considered Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, and to protect metal surfaces.

Biodegradable Grease

Protect equipment while having a limited impact on the environment. This grease is considered an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste.

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.

Biodegradable Moisture-Resistant Grease

Protect equipment while having a limited impact on the environment. This grease resists moisture but is still considered an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit. To qualify as an EAL, a lubricant must be able to quickly break down in water.

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