Cortec has introduced a new M-533 FG additive, designed for formulating food grade lubricants that require rust protection, demulsibility, filterability, and water resistance.
The new additive is intended for use in petroleum and synthetic lubricants, greases and rust preventative fluids. It is NSF HX-1 certified permitting its use in food plants where incidental contact with food is expected.
M-533 FG's filter-ability and water resistance ensures that lubricants formulated with it containing Cortec's Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) will retain their inherent functionality while providing corrosion protection, according to the US-based company.
Cortec stated that although it is approved for use up to 10% if required, M-533 FG passes the ASTM D 665B rust test in white mineral oil and PAO base oils at 0.10-0.20% additive level.
M-533 complies with the Food and Drug Administration Regulation 21 CFR 178.3570 and is compatible with a wide range of additives and base stocks.
Cortec, headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, US, is a provider of innovative, environmentally responsible VpCI and MCI corrosion control technologies for packaging, metalworking, construction, electronics, water treatment, oil & gas, and other industries.
