Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this lubricant safe for direct food contact?
Food Lubricant Plus is H1 approved for incidental food contact, meaning it is safe if small amounts accidentally come into contact with food during processing. It is not intended for direct, intentional food contact.
What is the operating temperature range?
The lubricant operates effectively in a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 340°C.
Can I use this lubricant in a salty environment?
Yes, this lubricant is totally resistant to salt water, making it ideal for marine or coastal food processing applications.
How often should I reapply the lubricant?
Reapplication frequency depends on the specific application, environmental conditions, and usage. Monitor the lubricated parts and reapply as needed to maintain optimal performance and protection.
What does 'non-drip' and 'non-fling' mean?
'Non-drip' means the lubricant will not run off surfaces easily, especially vertical ones. 'Non-fling' means it will not be thrown off by centrifugal force from moving parts, ensuring it stays where applied.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it features an all-weather formulation suitable for both inside and outside applications.
What is the shelf life of Food Lubricant Plus?
While not explicitly stated, aerosol lubricants typically have a shelf life of several years when stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Check the can for any manufacturing dates if available.
Troubleshooting
Lubricant is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Shake the can thoroughly and maintain the recommended spray distance (15-20 cm).
Spray nozzle is blocked.
Invert the can and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant is discharged. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water, then dry thoroughly.
Product appears to be degrading in extreme temperatures.
Verify that the operating temperature is within the specified range of -40°C to 340°C. Ensure the correct grade of lubricant for the specific application extreme.
Water washing away lubricant.
Confirm the surface was properly coated and that the lubricant has had sufficient time to set. Reapply a thin, even coat, ensuring coverage on all vulnerable areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Shake the can well before use. Apply a thin, even coat to clean, dry surfaces. For best results, ensure the area to be lubricated is free from dirt, debris, and old grease. Hold the can approximately 15-20 cm from the surface and spray in short bursts.
Compatibility: Food Lubricant Plus is compatible with most common industrial materials. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if applying to new or sensitive materials. It is designed for food processing equipment, including chains, gears, bearings, slides, and linkages where incidental food contact may occur.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clear after each use by inverting the can and spraying briefly until only propellant emerges. Dispose of the can responsibly according to local regulations. For cleaning of equipment after application, follow standard food industry sanitation procedures. Ensure any residual lubricant is removed as per HACCP guidelines if it is not intended for continuous incidental contact.
