AERO FG
Food Grade Air Compressor Lubricant (Series 125)
Mineral-based NSF H1 food grade lubricant for piston and rotary screw air compressors, hydraulic systems, and air tools; a versatile single-product solution meeting DIN 51506 (VDL), DIN 51524-2 (HPL), and DIN 51517-3 (CLP) requirements for facilities where incidental food contact is a compliance requirement.
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 under FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, it simultaneously meets DIN 51506 (VDL), DIN 51524-2 (HPL), and DIN 51517-3 (CLP) requirements — covering compressors, hydraulic systems, and air tools under a single food-grade specification and simplifying lubricant inventory management in multi-application facilities.
Fluid life reaches up to 8,000 hours at discharge temperatures below 90°C, with strong wear protection, reliable foam and air release performance, and good water separation across the full viscosity range from VG 32 to VG 220. Its resistance to chemical contamination and corrosion makes it a dependable choice in the varied operating conditions common to food processing plants.
