NSF H-1 FOOD GRADE CERTIFIED
Krytox® – Setting the Standard for the
Corrugating Industry
Since the 1980s, Krytox® anticorrosion greases have set the
standard for high temperature bearing lubrication in corrugator
applications. These products are the same high performance
formulation the corrugated industry has trusted for years, and
we are pleased to announce, are now certified for incidental
food contact.
NSF Certification Means Safety and Confidence
To provide absolute confidence and safety in food related
operations, these products are NSF H-1 Food Grade certified.
Corrugator Krytox® 226 FG and Corrugator Krytox® 227 FG
provide you with peace-of-mind and full confidence that
Krytox® greases are non-toxic, and completely biologically and
environmentally inert.
Krytox® corrugator greases are recommended for use in
high temperature corrugated equipment applications and in
manufacture of food packaging materials where an H-1 rated
lubricant is required.
Reliability and Performance for Your
Most Demanding Needs
High temperature, extreme pressure Krytox® greases excel in
the most demanding environments. Their non-oxidizing
chemistry and wide temperature range allows them to be used
in temperature extremes. Its superior oil film strength reduces
friction and abrasive wear to significantly extend equipment life
in severe duty applications. Krytox® provides excellent water
washout resistance and superior rust and corrosion protection
for bearings and components. Krytox® is silicone-free, contains
no VOC materials or chlorine, and is not hazardous to the

Chemical and Environmental Compatibility
While Krytox® fluorinated greases are non-reactive, its PFPE
chemistry is very different from standard hydrocarbon or
synthetic chemistries and should never be mixed with
non-fluorinated greases.
Krytox® lubricants are inert and will not react with any materials
they may come in contact with. The polymeric nature of these
products is extremely resistant to moisture, so it stays in place
during cleaning. Cleaners and disinfectants, both acidic and
caustic types, do not affect them. Steam and high temperatures
will not damage them. They do not damage plastic or elastomer
seals or cause corrosion to metals. They are nonflammable and
are safe for use in oxygen service.
Packing the Bearing
New bearings should be inspected for damage and cleanliness
before use. New unlubricated bearings are often coated with
hydrocarbon based rust preventive oils to protect them during
storage. These preservative oils must be removed when using
Krytox® as a lubricant. Failure to do so could result in reduced
bearing life.
The preservatives coat the bearing surface to prevent rust and
corrosion, but if not removed prior to use will prevent the grease
from protecting the metal surface. If left on the bearing, the
preservative coating can oxidize and harden, and can create
debris that will contaminate the grease.
Storage and Shelf Life
Krytox® grease and oil lubricants have no expiration date, and
have an indefinite shelf life if unopened and stored in a clean
dry location.
