MOLYKOTE G-0052
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 Compliance
- 6,080 N Four-Ball Weld Load
- Water-Resistant Grease Lubrication
Product Description
MOLYKOTE® G-0052 FM White E.P. Bearing Grease is a high-performance, mineral-oil-based lubricant thickened with an aluminum complex. Specially formulated for the food and beverage industry, this white, NLGI 2 multipurpose grease is fortified with extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear (AW) additives to protect highly loaded mechanical components. It provides an excellent lubrication solution where an NSF H1 status lubricant is required or when the environment must remain free of black particle contamination.
Key features
- Food-grade compliance: Meets FDA Regulation 21 CFR 178.3570, holds the NSF H1 classification for incidental food contact, and is Kosher approved.
- High load capacity: Effectively protects bearings and gears under heavy loads, demonstrating a high four-ball weld load of 6,080 N (620 KG).
- Robust environmental resistance: Provides good resistance to water washout and is broadly compatible with many plastics and elastomers used in food processing machinery.
Applications / Suitable for
- Multipurpose lubrication of mechanical components in food and beverage processing facilities
- Anti-friction bearings and plain bearings
- Chains, gears, and sliding mechanisms
