Description

CASSIDA GREASE FC 1 is high-performance, high-temperature grease developed specifically for lubricating bearings and seals that operate in extreme temperatures or aggressive environments. This grease is also suitable for life-filled equipment in food and beverage processing machinery.
The formula is based on a highly stable synthetic thickener and base fluids, enriched with carefully selected additives to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry under elevated temperature conditions.
Registered by NSF (Class H1) for incidental food contact, this grease is produced following FLT Quality Standards in facilities that comply with HACCP audits and Good Manufacturing Practices, forming part of the quality and hygiene management systems ISO 9001 and ISO 21469.

Applications

Lubrication for components exposed to reactive chemicals and gases, such as carbonic, citric, and acetic acids, vinegar concentrate, sodium and potassium hydroxides, acid or alkaline cleaners, bleaching agents, etc.
     •  Plain and rolling element bearings
     •  Miniature bearings and precision instruments
     •  Joints, linkages, and mechanical seals
     •  Lubrication of plastic and rubber components requiring excellent elastomer compatibility
     •  Bearings and seals exposed to alcohols, ketones, and organic solvents

General Instructions

Do not expose to temperatures exceeding +300 °C.

CASSIDA GREASE FC 1 is insoluble in water and most petroleum-based or commonly used organic solvents (such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, esters, etc.). It is soluble in highly fluorinated organic solvents. Perfluoro-octane is recommended for cleaning surfaces lubricated with CASSIDA GREASE FC 1.

Seal and Paint Compatibility
     •  Compatible with EPDM and other elastomers, gaskets, seals, and paints commonly used in food machinery lubrication systems.

Handling and Storage

All food grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemical substances and foodstuffs and out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store between 0 °C and +40 °C. Provided that the product has been stored under these conditions we recommend that the product be used within 3 years from the date of manufacture. Upon opening a pack, the product must be used within 2 years (or within 3 years of date of manufacture, whichever is the sooner).
