CASSIDA FLUID WG 460 - Food-Grade Gear Oils, ISO VG 460 - 55 gal drum

Product description

CASSIDA FLUID WG 460 is a high performance, anti-wear polyalkylene glycol (PAG) gear oil for the lubrication of worm gears, highly loaded gears, and applications where high resistance to micro-pitting is needed, for use in food and beverage processing equipment.

It is based on a careful blend of synthetic fluids and selected additives chosen for their ability to meet the stringent requirements of the food and beverage industry. Registered by NSF (Class H1) for use where there is potential for incidental food contact.

Main applications

• Especially recommended for use in worm gears and applications where excellent thermal stability is required
• Lubrication of enclosed gear boxes used in the food industry
• High load carrying capability, for extreme pressure applications

Certifications and specifications: NSF H1, Kosher, Halal, DIN 51517 CLP, ISO 6743/6 L-CKD, CKE.

Typical physical characteristics

These characteristics are typical for current production. Variations may occur.

Performance features

• High resistance to micro-pitting
• Neutral odour and taste
• Excellent thermal stability, load carrying properties, and corrosion protection; resistant to harmful oxidation products
• Exceptional low friction for efficient power transmission — measured worm gear efficiency is high relative to other oils
• Water solubility, ideal for equipment routinely cleaned before and after use where some water might penetrate the lubricant

Compatibility and seal notes

Does NOT mix with mineral oils or PAO. When changing from a mineral-oil or PAO-based lubricant, the equipment should be at normal operating temperature, drained as fully as possible, then flushed with the new lubricant before refilling with fresh product.

Compatible with most elastomers, gaskets, and seals normally used in food machinery lubrication systems; nitrile rubber (NBR), Fluoro-Silicone, or Vinyl-Methyl Polysiloxane (Q) are recommended for high-temperature service. Polyurethane-based elastomers, leather, cork, asbestos paper, and board should be avoided. Seals previously exposed to mineral oils may shrink when exposed to CASSIDA FLUID WG.

Handling and storage

Store separately from other lubricants, chemical substances, and foodstuffs, out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store between 0°C and +40°C. When stored under these conditions, use within 5 years from date of manufacture. After opening, use within 2 years (or within 5 years of manufacture, whichever comes first).

Available packaging

• 5-gallon pails
• 55-gallon drums
• Bulk
