Who supplies food grade H1 lubricants in Perth?

Bulk Lubricants Australia is an authorised TotalEnergies distributor in Perth and supplies the Nevastane food grade range: Nevastane AW hydraulic oils, SH compressor oils, EP and XSH gear oils, Chain Oil XT and XMF greases. Collect from the TotalEnergies warehouse at 22 Wildfire Road, Maddington WA 6109, or we freight to site anywhere in Australia.

What does NSF H1 mean for a lubricant?

NSF H1 registration means NSF has reviewed the lubricant's formulation and label for use where incidental food contact may occur. The formulation must follow FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, and there is a 10 ppm limit for lubricant base oil in food if contact occurs. NSF says lubricants registered H1 or certified to ISO 21469 are considered food grade.

What is the difference between H1 and H2 lubricants?

NSF registers H1 lubricants for incidental food contact and lists H2 lubricants as industrial grade. Only H1 registered or ISO 21469 certified lubricants are considered food grade by NSF, so an H2 lubricant is not a food grade product.

Is ISO 21469 the same as NSF H1?

No. H1 registration reviews the formulation and label. ISO 21469 certification covers the hygiene requirements for the formulation, manufacture and use of lubricants that may contact food, and includes an audit. TotalEnergies' data sheets state that Nevastane AW, SH, EP, XSH and XMF are ISO 21469 certified as well as NSF H1 registered.

How do I check a lubricant's NSF H1 registration?

Take the registration number from the data sheet and look it up in the NSF White Book listing for the manufacturer. For example, Nevastane AW 46 is NSF H1 No 146882 and Nevastane XMF 2 is No 146188. We send the TotalEnergies technical and safety data sheets with a quote on request.

Which food grade oil should I use in an air compressor?

In the Nevastane range, TotalEnergies recommends Nevastane SH for air compressors and vacuum pumps. It is a 100% synthetic PAO oil, NSF H1 registered, and the data sheet lists ISO 6743-3 DAJ and DIN 51506 VD-L. Use the viscosity grade your compressor manual specifies.

Nevastane EP or Nevastane XSH for a food plant gearbox?

Both are NSF H1 gear oils rated ISO 12925-1 CKD with an FZG fail stage above 12. Nevastane EP is based on white mineral and synthetic oils, from ISO VG 100 to 1000. Nevastane XSH is 100% synthetic PAO, from ISO VG 150 to 460, with higher viscosity indexes (152 to 161) and lower pour points, and TotalEnergies lists significant extensions of drain intervals.

What is a food grade lubricant for high-temperature oven chains?

Nevastane Chain Oil XT is TotalEnergies' synthetic ester chain oil for control, drive and transport chains under high temperature and load in bakeries, slaughterhouses and beverage plants. The data sheet gives a typical flash point of 324 °C, says it meets the requirements of food industry chain applications above 300 °C, and lists NSF H1 No 144427.

Which food grade grease suits bearings and conveyors?

Nevastane XMF 2 is an aluminium complex grease with white oil, recommended for loaded gears and bearings, seamers, filling machines, conveyors and mixers, from −20 °C to +150 °C. The softer XMF 1, XMF 0 and XMF 00 have the same base oil and applications on their data sheets. Use the NLGI grade your machine or lube system maker specifies.

Top takeaways

H1 means safe for incidental food contact, not a food ingredient. NSF registers H1 lubricants against FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, with a 10 ppm limit for base oil in food if contact happens [8].
Check the registration number, not the word 'food grade'. NSF warns the term is used loosely. Each Nevastane grade has its own NSF number you can look up in the NSF White Book [8, 10].
One range covers the whole plant. Hydraulics (AW), compressors and cold rooms (SH), gearboxes (EP, XSH), hot chains (Chain Oil XT) and grease points (XMF) [1–7].
Synthetic grades hold viscosity better across temperature. The PAO grades print viscosity indexes of 135 to 161, against 105 to 122 for the mineral-based AW and EP [1–4].
Store it cool. TotalEnergies asks you to limit exposure above 35 °C for the AW, SH, EP and XSH oils, and to store Chain Oil XT between 0 and 40 °C [1–5].

Why does a food plant need H1 lubricants?

Gearboxes over a filling line, a hydraulic hose above a conveyor, a chain running through an oven: in a food or beverage plant, a drip of lubricant can land on product. NSF puts it plainly: the possibility of minor contact always exists during normal operations, so the lubricant must be one that cannot contaminate the food if it does [8]. An H1 lubricant is formulated from the ingredients allowed under FDA 21 CFR 178.3570, and NSF reviews the formulation and label before registering it [8, 9].

TotalEnergies’ data sheets add the HACCP angle: using H1 registered maintenance lubricants minimises your critical control points [1, 3, 6]. The data sheets also state that the Nevastane oils and greases are formulated without MOAH (AW, EP, XMF) or without MOAH and MOSH (SH, XSH, Chain Oil XT), in line with Commission Recommendation (EU) 2017/84 [1–7].

Which Nevastane grade goes where in the plant?

The table covers every Nevastane product in our catalog, as printed on each TotalEnergies data sheet. All are Kosher and Halal certified according to their data sheets.

“Best for” is our reading of each data sheet’s applications section. Viscosity index is shown as the range across the grades. Nevastane SH 68 and 100 are also listed for gear reducers under moderate conditions [2].

Softer greases: Nevastane XMF 1 (NLGI 1, NSF 146187), XMF 0 (NLGI 0, NSF 146186) and XMF 00 (NLGI 00, NSF 146185) use the same aluminium complex thickener, white oil (120 mm²/s at 40 °C) and −20 to +150 °C range as XMF 2, with dropping points of > 225 °C, > 200 °C, > 180 °C respectively [7].

How do I choose between the oils?

Start with the machine manual. It sets the viscosity or NLGI grade and any approval the maker requires. H1 registration does not replace that.
Hydraulics: Nevastane AW is the white mineral ISO 6743-4 HM oil for high-pressure systems [1]. For hydraulic systems running at low temperatures (a cold room, for example), TotalEnergies points to Nevastane SH, with pour points of −39 to −51 °C [2].
Compressors and vacuum pumps: Nevastane SH, which lists ISO 6743-3 DAJ and DIN 51506 VD-L [2].
Enclosed gears: Nevastane EP or the fully synthetic Nevastane XSH [3, 4]. Both data sheets also list chains and conveyor belts.
Hot chains: Nevastane Chain Oil XT, with a typical flash point of 324 °C [5].
Grease points: Nevastane XMF 2, or a softer XMF grade where the maker calls for NLGI 1, 0 or 00 [6, 7].
Keep the paperwork. File the data sheet with the NSF number for each product in your HACCP records, and request a price for the grade and pack you need.

Does a hot Perth plant room change the choice?

Viscosity index tells you how much an oil thins as it heats up: the higher the number, the less it changes. The PAO-based Nevastane SH (135 to 145) and XSH (152 to 161) print higher viscosity indexes than the mineral-based AW (105 to 112) and EP (111 to 122) [1–4]. Our view: where the same equipment sees cold starts in a chiller and high running temperatures elsewhere, the synthetic grades give more margin. Where conditions are steady, AW and EP do the job. Either way, the viscosity grade comes from the manual.

Storage matters too. TotalEnergies gives a shelf life of 5 years unopened for the AW, SH, EP and XSH oils and asks you to minimise exposure above 35 °C, to daylight, dust and humidity [1–4]. Chain Oil XT should be stored between 0 and 40 °C, with a shelf life of 3 years unopened [5]. Our tip: in a Perth summer, that means a shaded, ventilated store rather than a shipping container in the sun.

Our view

Our opinion: most plants can run on a short list. Nevastane AW for hydraulics, SH for compressors and anything in the cold, EP or XSH for gearboxes, Chain Oil XT for ovens and XMF 2 for grease points. Fewer products means fewer mix-ups at the top-up point, which is where food grade programs usually slip. Check every choice against the machine manual, and keep the NSF numbers on file.
