Synthetic oils for the food industry
Description
SynHydra FG AW is formulated using specially selected synthetic base stocks in combination with the latest additive technology.SynHydra FG AW is essentially non toxic, making it suitable for applications where incidental contact with food or raw materials during the production is possible. Thanks to its great performance characteristics and versatility, SynHydra FG AW oils can be used in most applications in the manufacturing process in the food production and processing industry.
Applications
Hydraulic oil
Due to their excellent anti wear properties, they are used as hydraulic fluid for both power and motion transfer in machinery operated close to the food production process. Besides the neutral character to health, they have the following benefits:
Thanks to the high viscosity index, the high and low temperature behavior is excellent. SynHydra FG AWshows rather flat viscosity-temperature curves, which results in a smooth operation on both the high temperature and the low temperature side • The excellent low temperature characteristics makes SynHydra FG AW very suitable for hydraulic equipment operated in for example cooling and freezing houses • Low pour point, which allows operation at temperatures below < 0 ºC, therefore highly recommended for equipment that operates under startstop conditions • High stability to viscosity loss due to shearing • Outstanding anti foam characteristics and good de-aeration • A very good water demulsifying capacity • Wide range of viscosities for practically all hydraulic requirements
General lubrication
TheSynHydra FG AW lubricants can be used for all sorts of general lubrication. For example, for bearings, slides, chains, and small mechanisms which need a highperformance oil providing a clean and noncontaminating lubrication. Easy application by either automatic or by dropping, spraying, wick, or manual
Anti-corrosive protection
SynHydra FG AW can be used as light anti-corrosive protector of metallic material which might be in contact with food products such as wire for canned meat sealing, conveyor, or slides in e.g. manufacturing equipment and handling of metallic cans.
