High performance lubricants and
greases for special applications
With its HQ and state-of-the-art
manufacturing plant based in Stokeon-Trent,
FUCHS LUBRITECH (Speciality
division within FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK)
plc), manufactures high performance
lubricants and greases for special
applications.
Within the comprehensive product
portfolio is CASSIDA, the NSF H1
registered food grade lubricants range,
this being the first food grade lubricant
range to receive ISO 21469 certification,
FUCHS is pleased to add CASSIDA Chain
Oil XTE to its CASSIDA food grade range.
The synthetic CASSIDA Chain Oil XTE,
heralds a new era in food grade (NSF
H1) high temperature chain lubrication
and is perfect for high temperature
applications, it boasts excellent
performance up to 300°C.
CASSIDA Chain Oil XTE can successfully
replace other ester or PAO-based oils
with no miscibility issues
Tim Parish, of the FUCHS LUBRITECH
Speciality Division, said: “We are
delighted to launch this industry-leading
chain oil. We identified a need for a
product with higher thermal stability for
ovens rising to beyond 240°C and up to
300°C.
Our R&D department developed a new
technology and a special additive package
which achieved this, and following
independent benchmark testing and reallife
scenarios, the product outperformed
equivalent grades through extraordinary
lower evaporation rates, reduced
formation of burned solid residues and
corrosion resistance to provide improved
reliability and performance of critical high
temp chain applications.”
CASSIDA Chain Oil XTE offers:
• Thermal stability up to +300 °C
• Extraordinary low evaporation loss
- extending frequency of lubrication
intervals
• Reduced formation of burned solid
residues
• Medium viscosity for easy application
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Easily application - brush, baths or
automatic lubrication systems
• Neutral odour and taste
• Solvent-free formulation to provide
greater safety in use
The product was proven in demanding
applications such as horizontal pizza
ovens, beverage shrink wrapping ovens
and pitta bread ovens.
As companies in the food sector are at a
turning point where they need a lubricant
partner to comply with the food safety
standards and highest performance, the
dedication of FUCHS R&D teams ensure
their survival and growth.
Tim added: “Every trial that we have
embarked on with Cassida Chain Oil
XTE has been successful and resulted in
the customer wanting to purchase the
product. This is testament to the quality
and performance of this new chain oil
technology”
The more sensitive and demanding the
application, the more important is the
use of suitable lubricants. Wherever
food, drinks, or animal feed are produced,
processed, bottled, or packaged,
CASSIDA specialty lubricants from FUCHS
LUBRITECH satisfy the highest safety
requirements along with the highest
technical performance. They thereby
provide for a smooth production process,
a high level of efficiency, and a longer
operating life for machinery and systems.
