Food grade lubricant is a specific group of industrial lubricants, which is generally used to reduce the wear & tear caused by friction, corrosion, and chemical oxidation on the industrial machinery. Food grade lubricants encompass HI, H2, and H3 lubricants, in which HI lubricants are usually used as anti-corrosion sealing films approved for incidental food contact in the food packaging environment.
Food grade lubricants resist the degradation of food products and exhibit neutral chemical-behavior toward the food processing equipment as well as food packaging materials while complying with food or health safety regulations. Food grade lubricants can be generally derived from petroleum or synthetically manufactured. Based on base oil, food grade lubricants can be categorized into synthetic oil based, mineral oil based, and biobased. Food grade lubricants play a vital role in the food industry owing to the favorable properties of aluminum complex thickened grease for instance water resistance, high temperature resistance, and chemical inertness toward food processing equipment. Food grade lubricants are mainly used in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and cosmetics industries.
