H1, 3H, HALAL, KOSHER AND MOSH/MOAH FREE: OUR LUBRICANTS FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

In addition to the efficiency and durability of machines and systems, compliance with the highest hygiene and safety standards is of the utmost importance in the food industry.

To effectively ensure safety, LUBCON utilizes the H1 and 3H registrations from the US-based National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), as well as certifications from the European institution 2probity, which also provides certifications for halal and kosher lubricants.

Another concern of ours is MOSH/MOAH, long-chain and aromatic mineral oil hydrocarbons. Contamination by mineral oils can not only affect product quality, but can also have serious consequences such as reputational damage or even product recalls.

LUBCON has developed lubricants that are free of mineral oil hydrocarbons without impairing functionality in any way.

By choosing LUBCON H1 products, you can enhance both the sustainability and safety of your final product. Request a free analysis of your lubricant portfolio to discover your individual potential.

RELY ON STANDARDS

H1 lubricants are approved for incidental, unintentional contact with food. They are used in areas where minimal contact with food is possible, such as food processing and packaging. These lubricants are required to be food grade and ensure no harmful effects on health.

3H lubricants are approved for direct contact with food. They are used to lubricate machinery and equipment that come into direct contact with food, such as slitting rails for meat or dough. These lubricants must be completely food-safe and free of any health risks.

HEALTH HAZARDS DUE TO MOSH/MOAH

MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) are saturated hydrocarbons consisting mainly of paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. They are widespread in mineral oil products and can get into foodstuffs if they come into contact with lubricants. MOSH can accumulate in the human body, especially in the liver, and are difficult to break down. Long-term health effects are the subject of scientific studies.

MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are aromatic hydrocarbons that are also found in mineral oil products. They consist of a large number of chemical compounds, including some that are potentially carcinogenic. The contact of MOAH with food is therefore viewed particularly critically, as they can increase the risk of health problems such as cancer.
