FOOD-GRADE LUBRICANTS
Polyphenyl
Ethers (PPEs) are resistant to ionizing radiation. We offer a number of PPE-based
products for use as Radiation Resistant High-temperature Fluids and Greases. Lubricants
derived from our base fluids are suitable for use in machinery operating in and around
short-wavelength, highly energetic ionizing radiation environment. Ionizing radiation,
such as gamma rays, x-rays, and subatomic charged particles shear carbon hydrogen
bonds in most lubricants to form ions that recombine to form structurally different
molecules.
These molecules typically have higher viscosity and as a consequence are not effective
lubricants. On the other hand, polyphenyl ether derived lubricants maintain their
structural integrity in the presence of ionizing radiation of up to 1011 ergs/gram,
while other hydrocarbon-based lubricants turn to viscous gels. Therefore, PPE based
lubricants are widely used in nuclear power plants, space satellites, nuclear submarines,
food sterilization equipment, radiation chemistry laboratories and medical imaging
systems. Our PPE-based greases are useful in applications that require thermal and
ionizing radiation resistance but can not use liquid lubricants because of their
high fluidity and concern for contamination. We offer the following products in this
product class. |

SANTOTRAC
332-FG H1 FOOD-GRADE TRACTION FLUID
SANTOTRAC
332-FG Traction Fluid is a low viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon-based traction fluid
that is especially designed for use in high-speed operations where low to medium
film strength is desired. This product has high coefficient of traction and is fortified
with a proprietary additive system to enhance its antiwear and extreme load-carrying
and high temperature properties. This product is especially useful in operating environments
that require enhanced oxidation stability and increased protection against rust and
corrosion. SANTOTRAC“ 332-FG carries H1 credentials hence its incidental contact
with food and drugs during manufacture must not be of concern. This fluid is essentially
nontoxic, especially when normal hygienic practices are followed. |
