Dow Corning's new food grade industrial lubricating fluids

Mumbai: Dow Corning (www.dowcorning.com) has expanded its line of industrial lubricants for customers in China by adding 42 new food-grade synthetic fluids and ultra high-purity mineral oils that can last up to ten times longer than conventional products.

Marketed as 'Molykote brand High-Performance Industrial Fluids,' the new fluids are particularly suited for plant operations in the food and beverage industry due to their resistance to emulsification with water, which causes viscosity degradation that contributes to mechanical wear and premature loss of machine usefulness.

Molykote fluids are available in a wide range of viscosities, and are formulated for use in hydraulic, compressor and vacuum pumps; gearboxes, chains; and a wide variety of machines and components. The Molykote fluids conform to requirements under H-1 or H-2 designations of the US Department of Agriculture and many are kosher-approved.
