Agriculture and Food
In agriculture and food processing, it is crucial to prevent toxic substances from coming into contact with products. Sustainalube’s lubricants are made from non-toxic compounds. Compared to mineral oils, they offer several advantages:
No risk of poisoning, as the lubricants are made from harmless ingredients.
Safe operation even when products are sensitive to oil contamination. Since Sustainalube’s products contain no oil, there is no risk of contamination during processing.
No allergic reactions, as the lubricants do not irritate the skin, and their low vapor pressure minimizes the risk of “oil mist.”
Easy machine cleaning without the need for strong solvents, unlike mineral oils.
No soil or groundwater contamination. The lubricants are water-soluble, break down quickly, and will dissolve and dilute in the ground. This is especially beneficial, as lubricants are often sprayed or spilled on the ground in agricultural processes.
