Food Grade Lubricants Market Definition
Food-grade lubricants must fulfil the same technical requirements as standard lubricants. They should also resist food degradation and have a neutral chemical behaviour toward food processing equipment and food packaging materials, all while adhering to food and health safety requirements. Lubricants for use in food can be sourced from petroleum or synthesised. Mineral oil-based, synthetic oil-based, and biobased food grade lubricants can all be classed by their base oil. Because of the advantageous qualities of aluminium complex thickened grease, such as high temperature resistance, water resistance, and chemical inertness toward food processing equipment, food grade lubricants play a key role in the food business.
