Food-grade lubricants must perform the same technical functions as any other lubricant: provide protection against wear, friction, corrosion and oxidation, dissipate heat and transfer power, be compatible with rubber and other sealing materials, as well as provide a sealing effect in some cases. In addition, different applications within the food and drugs business demand that lubricants resist degradation from food products, chemicals and water/steam, must exhibit a neutral behavior toward plastics and elastomers, and have the ability to dissolve sugars. These oils must also comply with food/health and safety regulations, as well as be physiologically inert, tasteless, odorless and internationally approved.Food-grade lubricants are special blends of base fluids and additives. The food industry represents one of the most demanding environments in which a lubricant has to operate. Apart from the general requirements for a lubricant, the food environment has some very specific demands such as: the ability to function in very high/low temperatures; water resistance; neutral behaviour toward synthetic components; resistance to chemicals; resistance to foodstuff; neutral behaviour toward rubbers; steam and vapour resistance; and sugar dissolving properties. Food-grade lubricants also need to conform to food regulations, have no physiological effects, and be odourless, colourless and tasteless. As well as offering reliability and protection, the lubricants, food grade, must also meet environmental, health and safety guidelines, and legislative requirements. There are growing international demands for nut-free lubricants.
