Product Overview
AERO FGXL is a synthetic extended-life food grade air compressor lubricant, registered NSF H1 and compliant with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and packaging facilities where incidental contact compliance is required. The formulation actively removes existing carbon and varnish deposits and prevents new buildup, restoring compressor cleanliness over the service interval, and meets DIN 51506 VDL requirements across VG 32 to VG 150.
Fluid life reaches 14,000 hours at discharge temperatures below 90 °C (194 °F) — the synthetic step above the mineral AERO FG at 8,000 hours. One food-grade specification covers rotary screw, rotary vane, and piston compressors, hydraulic systems, and air tools, consolidating the H1 lubricant inventory of a food processing facility.
