High-Temperature Oven Lubricants Utilize White Graphite

Renewable Lubricants’ food grade Bio-Extreme High Temperature Oven Lubricants perform at extreme high temperatures up to 1,000°C, including protection up to 2,000°C, the company says. These bio-based lubricants are improved with white graphite, a solid particle lubricant. It is said systems lubricated with white graphite require less product application, saving customers’ money and making for cleaner equipment.

Free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), these products are said to be good for working in confined spaces. White graphite provides improved extreme pressure and lubricity after black graphite, Teflon and molybdenum disulfide lose lubrication between 400°C and 500°C. When operating below their flash point, Bio-Extreme High Temperature Oven Lubricants do not dissipate, but leave a lubricant film, the company says.

The white, semisolid film from the white graphite dissipation is said to be soft and easy to keep clean with food grade cleaners and wire brushes. It is designed to reduce wear, rust, oxidation and corrosion, extending the equipment life and reducing maintenance costs. Bio-Extreme High Temperature Oven Lubricants clean and lubricate chains soiled by other lubricants, and they help to minimize the accumulation of hard carbon solids which create maintenance cleanup problems and lead to downtime.

Renewable Lubricants says its environmentally responsible Bio-Extreme High Temperature Oven Lubricants are formulated from renewable carbon negative resources, enabling facilities to meet sustainability initiatives.

These lubricants are well suited for industrial applications such as tenter frames in textile plants, kiln car wheel bearings in refractory plants, paint lines, drying ovens, sealed-for-life units, automatic lubrication systems, lithographic chains and more. According to the company, this product can also be used for roller chains on oven conveyors, bakery oven chains, beverage can lines and other food processing applications in addition to its industrial applications.

Bio Extreme High Temperature Lubricants are NSF H1 certified. Food grade products manufactured by Renewable Lubricants are Kosher certified. The product is available in 1 gallon jugs, 5 gallon pails, drums, totes and in bulk from the company’s factory in Ohio.
