Properties

• The base fluid is capable of providing high-quality lubrication in almost all operating conditions.

• Good wear protection ensures a longer service life for components, leading to reduced maintenance costs.

• Excellent water separation prevents the formation of potentially harmful emulsions.

• Excellent air separation and minimal foaming.

• Resistance to the formation of harmful oxidation products, even at elevated temperatures, extends the oil’s service life.

• Neutral odour and taste.

• A high viscosity index ensures minimal changes in viscosity caused by temperature fluctuations.

• Effective anti-corrosion protection for metal surfaces.

Synthetic lubricant

• Does not contain natural products derived from animals or genetically modified organisms.

• Does not contain allergens or their derivatives as defined in the Annex to EU Directive 2003/89/EC

• Also suitable for use in the production of vegetarian foods.

• Biostatic; does not promote the growth of bacteria or fungal organisms.

In accordance with the requirements of US 21 CFR 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided wherever possible. In the event of incidental contact with food, the concentration of the product should not exceed 10 ppm (10 mg/kg of food). In locations and applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration limits, it is recommended not to exceed the limit of 10 ppm CASSIDA FLUID HF. At this concentration, the lubricant does not impart any undesirable taste, odour or colour to food and has no adverse effects on health. In accordance with production requirements, use only the necessary amount of lubricant and take appropriate measures to prevent excessive contact between the lubricant and food.

Based on the available information, CASSIDA FLUID HF 32 poses no risk to human health and safety when used for the recommended application and provided that occupational safety and hygiene principles are observed. As with all oils, prolonged and repeated contact between the lubricant and the skin should be avoided.

Handling and storage

All food-grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemicals and foodstuffs away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. The recommended storage temperature is 0 to 40°C. Under
these conditions, the product can be stored and used for 5 years from the date of manufacture in its unopened original packaging. Once opened, the product must be used within 2 years.

Before opening, ensure that the container is clean. It is recommended to clean it first with CASSIDA FLUID FL 5 and/or drinking water, and then dry it with a clean cloth.
