NLGI #2: Stiffest stiffness
Food Grade Classification: NSF H1 (NSF Registration No. 136725)… meets FDA 21 CFR specifications for incidental food contact
Use: It is used in a variety of applications that require: wide range of thermal stability, high dielectric strength, electrical insulation, inertness to rubber and plastic surfaces, and insulation against corrosion and moisture.
Silicone Grease NLGI#2 is inert to virtually all substrates with the exception of silicone rubber. * It is often used for lubricating o-rings, gaskets, valves and seals as well as surfaces that require excellent lubricating properties over long periods without drying out. It is not recommended for metal-to-metal lubrication or on surfaces that will be painted or finished.
O-Ring Compatibility
* Swelling may occur
Silicone Grease NLGI#2 meets FDA 21 CFR 175.300 requirements for use as a lubricant for incidental contact with food. It is widely used in food processing and food packaging applications.
NLGI is a measure of the stiffness of silicone grease with NLGI 1 being the least stiff and NLGI 3 being the stiffest. Due to its medium consistency, NLGI#2 is the most widely used of the three. However, if stiffer grease is preferred, we also carry an NLGI #3.
Properties:
- 100% Silicone Grease….contains no petroleum distillates
- NLGI#2 Consistency…medium stiffness (most widely used)
