Food Grade Lubricant in the UAE & Oman

How to choose a food grade lubricant.

A food grade lubricant is formulated and registered for machinery where contact with the product cannot be completely ruled out: a gearbox above an open conveyor, a hydraulic line on a filling machine, a chain running through an oven, a compressor supplying air to a packaging line. NSF H1 is the registration most plants standardise on; H2 covers machinery with no possible contact; 3H covers release agents that touch food; HT1 covers heat transfer fluids. ISO 21469 certifies the hygiene of manufacture on top.

LUBE-tech supplies the NSF H1 programmes of FUCHS CASSIDA, TotalEnergies Nevastane and Finavestan, Castrol Optileb and Molub-Alloy FoodProof, RIVOLTA F.L. and F.L.G. and Mobil in Dubai and across the UAE and Oman, with the registration documents on request.

Picking the right grade

The right registration: H1 for anything above or near the product line, which in practice is most of the plant. H2 only where contact is impossible. 3H for direct-contact release agents. HT1 for heat transfer fluids in fryers, ovens and kettles.
By machine: The listings below cover every machine on a food line: hydraulic oils, gear oils, compressor and vacuum pump oils, chain oils, greases and heat transfer fluids. Each has its own page with the grades and how to choose.
Certificates: Auditors ask for the NSF registration number, the ISO 21469 certificate and often Halal and Kosher status. The Nevastane brochure lists these by grade; for other brands, ask us for the maker's certificate with the quotation.
Standardising on H1: Plants that use H1 everywhere avoid mix-ups and simplify audits. Modern H1 oils and greases match standard products on load, temperature and service life for most duties.

Questions buyers ask

What does NSF H1 mean?

NSF H1 means the lubricant is registered for use in food processing where incidental contact with food cannot be ruled out. It is the category used for machinery above or near the product.

What is the difference between H1 and H2?

H1 lubricants are registered for use where incidental food contact is possible. H2 lubricants are for machinery where there is no possibility of contact. Most plants use H1 throughout the processing area.
