Understanding Foodsafe Lubricants
Food-grade lubricants such as FoodSafe must perform the same technical functions as any other lubricant: provide protection against wear, friction, corrosion and oxidation, dissipate heat and transfer power, be compatible with rubber and other sealing materials as well as provide a sealing effect in some cases. In addition, different applications within the food and pharmaceutical business demand that lubricants resist degradation from food products, chemicals and water/steam, must exhibit a neutral behaviour toward plastics and elastomers, and have the ability to dissolve sugars. These oils must also comply with food/health and safety regulations as well as be physiologically inert, tasteless, odourless and internationally approved.
Lubricants can be subjected to intense environmental contaminants. A corn-milling environment generates significant dust. Although not as hard as silica-based dust, it still presents a problem for filtration. A meat plant requires stringent steam cleaning at all times so the risk of water contamination is high. Some plants experience as much as 15 percent by volume of water in their gear oils. Another aspect of lubrication contamination that poses a risk to food-grade lubricants is the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi. While these can be a risk in industrial environments, the opportunity for contamination in the food-production environment is even greater.
Food-Grade Categories
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) created the original food-grade designations H1, H2 and H3. The approval of a new lubricant and its registration in one of these categories depends on the list of the ingredients.
H1 Lubricants
Are food-grade lubricants used in food-processing environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact.
H2 Lubricants
Are food-grade lubricants used on equipment and machine parts in locations where there is no possibility of contact.
H3 Lubricants
Are food-grade lubricants, typically edible oils, used to prevent rust on hooks, trolleys and similar equipment.
Deciding whether there is a possibility of contact is tough and many have erred on the side of safety with respect to selecting H1 over H2. To know more; https://www.lubricon.com.au/what-is-a-food-grade-lubricant/

H3 Lubricants
Are food-grade lubricants, typically edible oils, used to prevent rust on hooks, trolleys and similar equipment.
Deciding whether there is a possibility of contact is tough and many have erred on the side of safety with respect to selecting H1 over H2.
Approval and Compliance
Approval and compliance in the past was the responsibility of the USDA. The agency is considered an internationally renowned authority on consumer safety issues with regard to the food-processing industry. Its efforts essentially covered federally inspected meat and poultry facilities but were rapidly adopted by other sectors such as fisheries and retail food operations.
To gain USDA approval, lubricant manufacturers had to prove that all the ingredients in the formulation were allowable substances. Allowable substances, in this instance are those listed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in accordance with the Guidelines of Security Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, §178.3570. This did not include lubricant testing, rather the approval was based primarily on a review of the formulation ingredients of the lubricant however, since September 30th 1998, the USDA has no longer been issuing registration of food-grade lubricants or reviewing federally inspected meat and poultry process facilities.
The Future of Food-Grade Approval
Registrations granted prior to this date will remain in effect and as before, USDA H1 and H2 still stand as a recognized approval for food and drug suitability. In fact many lubricant manufacturers still aspire to the USDA H1 and H2 categories and approval process and supply certification from their boards of directors to guarantee that claim.
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has evolved globally to succeed the USDA. NSF International, The Public Health and Safety CompanyTM is an independent, non-profit organization that has been committed to public health, safety and protection of the environment for more than 55 years. NSF has earned the Collaborating Center designations by the World Health Organization (WHO) for both food safety and for drinking water safety and treatment. It is conceived and administered as a public service organization, serving as an independent and neutral body to resolve issues between regulatory bodies, business, industry and the public.
NSF has basically adopted the DIN Standard V 0010517, 2000-08 as its own guideline for a registration of food-grade lubricants. Using the former USDA H1 and H2 classifications, NSF has submitted its draft standard NSF 116-2000 (non-food compounds used in food processing facilities – food-grade lubricants) to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The draft standard covers the former USDA H1 and H3 categories.
The DIN standard V 0010517, 2000-08 has also been adopted by the European Lubricating Grease Institute (ELGI) and National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) as their guideline.

Understanding Base Oils
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has categorized base oils into five categories (API 1509, Appendix E). The first three groups are refined from petroleum crude oil. Group IV base oils are full synthetic (polyalphaolefin) oils. Group V is for all other base oils not included in Groups I through IV. Before all the additives are added to the mixture, lubricating oils begin as one or more of these five API groups.
Group I
Group I base oils are classified as
less than 90 percent saturates,
greater than 0.03 percent sulphur
viscosity-index range of 80 to 120.
The temperature range for these oils is from 32 to 150 degrees F.
Group I base oils are solvent-refined – a simpler refining process.
Most cost effective base oils on the market.
Group II
Group II base oils are defined as being
more than 90 percent saturates,
less than 0.03 percent sulphur
viscosity index range of 80 to 120.
Manufactured by hydrocracking – complex refining process
Group II base oils have better antioxidation properties than GP1.
They also have a clearer colour
Group II base oils are becoming very common on the market today and are priced very close to Group I oils.
Group III
Group III base oils are greater than 90 percent saturates,
less than 0.03 percent sulphur
viscosity index above 120.
These oils are severely hydrocracked (higher pressure and heat than GP2).
This longer process is designed to achieve a purer base oil.
Although made from crude oil, Group III base oils are sometimes described as synthesized hydrocarbons, or synthetic technology.
Group IV
Group IV base oils are poly alpha olefins (PAOs). These synthetic base oils are made through a process called synthesizing. They have a much broader temperature range and are great for use in extreme cold conditions and high heat applications.
Group V
Group V base oils are classified as all other base oils, including silicone, phosphate ester, polyalkylene glycol (PAG), polyolester, biolubes, etc. These base oils are at times mixed with other base stocks to enhance the oil’s properties. An example would be a PAO-based compressor oil that is mixed with a polyolester. Esters are common Group V base oils used in different lubricant formulations to improve the properties of the existing base oil. Ester oils can take more abuse at higher temperatures and will provide superior detergency compared to a PAO synthetic base oil, which in turn increases the hours of use.
