Product Description
MOLYKOTE® G-1502 FM Synthetic Bearing & Gear Grease is a high-performance, white, food-grade grease formulated with an aluminum complex thickener, a 100% polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base oil, and a carefully selected combination of lubricating solids. Designed for incidental food contact applications, this NLGI 2-3 grease is highly tacky, providing exceptional adhesion and robust resistance to water washout and spray-off. It is ideal for lubricating chains, open gears, valves, and sprockets in food processing environments where moisture is prevalent or grease sling-off cannot be tolerated.
Key features
- Food-grade and safe formulation: NSF H1 approved and meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 regulations for incidental food contact. It is entirely free of intentional allergens, GMOs, animal-derived content, PTFE, and PFAS.
- Exceptional water and sling resistance: The tacky consistency delivers powerful adhesion and resistance to water wash-off, ensuring the lubricant stays precisely where it is needed.
- High load and wear protection: Provides outstanding extreme-pressure and anti-wear capabilities with a four-ball weld load of 400 kg and a Timken OK load of 50 lb (110 kg).
Applications / Suitable for
- Chains, cams, open gears, valves, and sprockets
- Food and beverage applications where a highly adhesive, tacky grease is required
- Environments where water wash-off is problematic or sling-off must be avoided
