Q1: Why are FRTLUBE’s food-grade lubricants easy to use and safe?
+A:In the field of food processing and production, the choice of lubricants is crucial, which is directly related to the operating efficiency of the production line and food safety. FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants have become a trusted choice in the industry with their excellent performance and hygiene standards. So why are FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants both easy to use and safe?
First of all, FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants have undergone strict quality control and certification and meet international food safety standards. During the production process, FRTLUBE uses advanced production technology and high-quality raw materials to ensure the purity and stability of the lubricants. With NSF H1 international standard certification, FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants can be used safely in food production equipment, providing reliable lubrication guarantees for the food industry.
Secondly, FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants have excellent high temperature resistance. In the food processing industry, production equipment usually faces a high temperature and high pressure working environment. General lubricants may lose their lubricating properties under extreme conditions, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants are carefully formulated to maintain superior lubrication properties under high temperature conditions, ensuring that the equipment still runs smoothly in harsh environments.
In addition, the unique formula of FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants also focuses on anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation capabilities. During the food production process, lubricants are easily affected by factors such as food acidity, alkali, and salt, and are prone to corrosion. FRTLUBE's lubricants contain special anti-corrosion additives to effectively prevent corrosion damage to equipment components and extend the life of the equipment.
It is worth mentioning that FRTLUBE has been committed to the development of environmentally friendly lubricants. Its food-grade lubricants do not contain additives that are harmful to the human body and have undergone rigorous hygiene and safety tests. This means that by using FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants, you can not only obtain excellent lubrication performance, but also ensure that the product meets food safety standards and provide reliable health protection for production.
In summary, FRTLUBE's food-grade lubricants have become the first choice for the food industry with its superior performance and safety standards. Whether in extreme working environments or in scenarios with extremely high food safety requirements, FRTLUBE can provide efficient, reliable, and safe lubrication solutions to inject peace of mind and trust into the food processing industry.

Q2: Regarding the issue of "no dripping point" of high temperature grease
+A: First of all, we need to understand that the dropping point is a reference data for judging the maximum temperature of high-temperature grease. The operating temperature of ordinary grease is usually about 30℃ higher than its dropping point. The dropping point of grease is a test result under a certain condition, which can only indicate the temperature at which a certain grease melts or softens and drips under the same conditions. This does not represent its actual operating temperature and can only be used as a reference. For the newly developed no-dropping-point grease on the market, it uses inorganic or organic substances as thickeners and will not drip under test conditions, so it is called "no-dropping-point" grease.
In fact, the "no drop point" of high-temperature grease does not mean that it can withstand high temperatures, because there are only two key aspects that determine the high temperature resistance of grease: one is the base oil; the other is the thickener. Generally speaking, whether high-temperature grease is resistant to high temperatures is more affected by its base oil. Ordinary mineral oil can withstand high temperatures of 120-1506, 180% for a short time, and synthetic oil can withstand higher temperatures. Therefore, the drop-free grease using mineral oil as the base oil is not necessarily resistant to high temperatures. Whether the effect of using it under high-temperature conditions is good depends on whether its performance is good and whether it meets the conditions of use. It is not enough to have a drop-free point.
At present, Field high-temperature greases are all drop-free extreme pressure composite full synthetic greases produced by special processes and formulas. They are all drop-free products. They all have unique high-temperature thermal stability, are not easy to oxidize under high-temperature conditions, and continue to provide lubrication effects to the unlubricated parts. Because Lexi fully synthetic lubricant is the base oil, Nerte high-temperature grease will not accumulate when it is continuously running under high-temperature conditions, and has excellent adhesion, water resistance, mechanical stability and protection capabilities, effectively preventing the operating parts from being eroded by the external environment.

Q3: Is grease flammable?
+A: Grease is combustible, not flammable.
In other words, grease will burn when introduced to ambient temperatures, but it will not instantly burst into flame. In order to be considered flammable, a substance must have a flash point below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and very rarely would a lubricating grease fall into this category. This means bearing grease is typically only flammable in the presence of an open flame or sparks.
With that said, both combustible and flammable materials should be stored properly in flammable-safe cabinets or containers when not in use. In addition, you should always review the Safety Data Sheet when purchasing a new grease. The information provided in the SDS will not only tell you the grease’s flash point, but other useful information regarding toxicology, storage and handling, and its physical and chemical properties.

Q4: what grease to use on rubber o rings?
+A: For most rubber O-rings, silicone grease is a good choice. It works well with common materials like nitrile, EPDM, and neoprene, helping to prevent damage, ease installation, and extend the O-ring's life. It's also safe for natural rubber, unlike petroleum-based greases, which can degrade natural rubber and should be avoided in those cases.
Considerations for Specific Materials
If you're unsure about the O-ring material, silicone grease is generally safe. However, for silicone rubber O-rings (less common in general use), research suggests using fluorosilicone grease instead, as silicone grease might cause swelling. Always check the O-ring material if possible, especially for specialized applications.
-
Q5: Why should you pay attention to compatibility when changing grease?
+A: Grease compatibility is a very important aspect of the grease change process. Mixing incompatible greases may have an adverse effect on the end-use performance of the grease and may even cause equipment failure. To confirm the compatibility of more materials, please contact us.
