BPL™ Tacky White (Food Grade H1)
“Biobased Lubricants that Perform Like Synthetics”
BPL™ Tacky White is a specially formulated, biodegradable, biobased penetrant that can be used as a light tacky solid lubricant in food processing equipment and is essentially odorless and tasteless. Incorporating the white graphite provides a solid film extreme pressure lubricant that reduces friction and wear on sliding surfaces. Because of the super high viscosity index of the Stabilized* HOBS, this product performs in many applications. BPL™’s patented composition of additives and base fluids provides a protective, tacky thin film lubricant. This natural oily film has shown in laboratory and field tests to out perform petroleum base oils in terms of natural lubricity.
BPL™ Food Grade1 Plus Tacky White Graphite is formulated to penetrate into close tolerant areas, then lubricate, and prevent corrosion. BPL™’s ability to creep is demonstrated by placing a 3/8” x 2” bolt on its head with ¼” of BPL™ in the bottom of a lab beaker; BPL™ creeps vertically up the threads. It protects deep into the core of a cable or chain link and is excellent to protect sliding and moving parts. This Biobased product has exceptional benefits over petroleum oils in these applications because there is direct danger of polluting the water, soil, or work environment through loss of the lubricant. BPL™ contains no hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). EPA, OHSA, and Workers Acceptance are high with Biobased Products.
