• Good wear protection ensures longer component life, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.

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

• Excellent air separation and minimal foaming.

• Resistance to formation of harmful oxidation products even at elevated temperatures increases oil life.

• Neutral odour and taste.

• High viscosity index ensures minimal viscosity changes due to temperature changes.

• Effective corrosion protection of metal surfaces.

Synthetic lubricant

• Contains no 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

• Suitable for use in the production of vegetarian food.

• Biostatic, does not stimulate the growth of bacteria and fungal organisms.

In compliance with the requirements of US 21 CFR 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided where possible. In the event of incidental food contact, the product concentration should not exceed 10 ppm (10 mg/kg food). In locations and applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration limits, it is recommended not to exceed the 10 ppm CASSIDA FLUID HF limit. Up to this concentration level, no undesirable taste, odour or colour of the lubricant is transferred to food and no adverse health effects are observed. In accordance with the manufacturing process, use only the necessary amount of lubricant and take appropriate precautions to prevent excessive contact of the lubricant with food.

Based on the available information, CASSIDA FLUID HF 68 does not pose any risk to human health and safety when used for the recommended application and the principles of occupational safety and hygiene are followed. As for all oils, avoid prolonged and repeated contact of the lubricant with the skin.

Handling and storage

All food grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemicals and foodstuffs out of reach of direct sunlight and other heat sources. A suitable storage temperature is 0 to 40°C. Per
these conditions, the product can be stored and used for 5 years from the date of manufacture in the original packaging intact. Once opened, the product must be consumed within 2 years.

Make sure the container is clean before opening. It is recommended to clean it first with CASSIDA FLUID FL 5 and/or potable water and dry it with a clean cloth.
