Product Overview
AERO FG is a mineral-based food grade lubricant for piston and rotary screw air compressors, hydraulic systems, and air tools in food and beverage processing environments where incidental food contact is possible. Registered NSF H1 and compliant with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, it meets DIN 51506 (VDL), DIN 51524-2 (HPL), and DIN 51517-3 (CLP) simultaneously — one food-grade specification covering three equipment types, consolidating lubricant inventory in multi-application facilities.
Fluid life reaches 8,000 hours at discharge temperatures below 90 °C (194 °F), with wear protection, foam and air release control, and water separation across VG 32 to VG 220. Resistance to chemical contamination and corrosion carries the duty in food processing plant conditions.
