Penetrating Lubricant - Food Grade

WISE Food Grade* (FG) Penetrating Lubricant (WPL) is a specially formulated, biodegradable biobased penetrant that can be used as a light lubricant in food processing equipment and is essentially odorless and tasteless. Because of the super high viscosity index of the stabilized base stocks*, this product performs in many applications. WISE FG Penetrating Lubricant’s patented composition of additives and base fluids provides a protective, thin film lubricant. This natural oily film has shown in laboratory and field tests to out perform petroleum base oils in terms of natural lubricity. Food Grade WPL is formulated to penetrate into close tolerant areas, then lubricate, and prevent corrosion.

WPL’s ability to creep is demonstrated by placing a standard 3/8” x 2” bolt on its head with ¼” of WPL in the bottom of a lab beaker; WPL flows vertically up the threads. It protects deep into the core of a cable or chain link and is excellent as a light air tool lubricant and preservative oil for parts. This Biobased product has exceptional benefits over petroleum oils in these applications because there is direct danger of polluting the water, soil, or work environment through loss of the lubricant. WPL contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Applications: Industrial, regulated manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, marine, household, sports (such as bicycles), and more.

* This product is based on a proprietary and patented anti-oxidant, anti-wear, and cold flow technology. Base stocks are non-GMO agricultural vegetable oils. This technology provides high performance even in high and low temperature applications, reducing oil thickening and deposits. Base oils and additives in this product are listed in 21 CFR 178.3570, Lubricants for incidental food contact (USDA H-1). Full compliance with other applicable restrictions of FDA, USDA, oil spill, and oil pollution prevention statutes is recommended.
