Product Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Foaming chain lubricant with PTFE. A high performance chain and conveyor lubricant based on stable vegetable oils and PTFE. CRC Food Grade Chain Lubricant is specifically designed to provide convenient, effective lubrication and protection in applications where incidental food contact may occur or in applications where a clean lubricant is preferred. The gentle foaming action assures an excellent penetration and prevents against dripping.
FEATURES
- Formulated using only food grade acceptable components.
- Good adhesion on metal surfaces, even at elevated temperatures and high rpm.
- Excellent penetration and lubrication properties.
- Leaves a tenacious, long lasting lubricant film.
- Good load carrying properties.
- Reduces friction and wear.
- Resistant to water wash off.
- Prevents corrosion.
- Operating temperature from -15 °C to +175 °C.
- Contains PTFE.
- Virtually odourless and colourless.
- Aerosols are pressurised with non-flammable propellant, giving a gentle foaming action.
- Meets FDA-regulation CFR 21-178.3570 and is authorised by USDA - class H1 to be used as a lubricant with incidental food contact.
