Molders of food-contact or medical parts may need food-grade lubricants at certain points under their quality system. Food-grade grease is in this catalog; food-grade hydraulic oil is not.
Extruder gearboxes
Extruder drive gearboxes often specify ISO 220–460 industrial gear oil. This catalog does not carry those; follow the extruder builder.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
