Food-Grade Gear Lubricant
This synthetic gear oil carries NSF H1 registration for incidental food contact. It suits industrial gearboxes and circulating systems in processing plants where lubricant purity is regulated. The ISO 100 viscosity grade matches many OEM fill specifications for moderate-speed enclosed gears.
Wide Temperature Range in a 35 lb Pail
The fluid flows at -44 °F and remains stable up to 180 °F, with a flash point of 266 °F. A Timken OK load of 40 lb confirms load-carrying capacity for heavily loaded gear sets. The yellow colour allows quick visual level checks through sight glasses or dipsticks.
Replaces Conventional Mineral Gear Oils
Upgrading from non-food-grade mineral oil eliminates cross-contamination risk during wash-downs or seal leaks. The synthetic base extends drain intervals and reduces deposit formation at the 180 °F upper limit. The jump is worth it when audit compliance and longer service life outweigh the higher fluid cost.

Questions about this item
What does the ISO 100 viscosity rating mean for the operating range of this gear oil?
ISO 100 defines the fluid's thickness at 40°C; this oil stays pumpable down to 15 °F and retains film strength up to 180 °F.
What container size and weight must my storage shelf accommodate for the 35 lb pail?
The product ships in a 35 lb pail; ensure your shelf or drum rack is rated for at least that weight and has the footprint for a standard 5-gallon pail.
How do I fill a gearbox with this H1 food-grade synthetic oil without introducing contaminants?
Clean the fill port thoroughly, use a dedicated clean funnel or pump, and avoid mixing with any non-H1 lubricants to maintain the NSF H1 rating.
