Agriculture and Food
In agriculture and food processing it is important that toxic compounds cannot reach the products. Sustainalube’s lubricants are based on non-toxic compounds. Compared to mineral oils they have the following advantages:
No risk of poisoning because lubricants are made of harmless compounds.
Risk-free operation if the products are sensitive to oil contamination. Since Sustainalube’s products do not contain any oil there is no risk of contamination during the processes.
No allergic reactions since lubricants do not cause any skin irritation and the low vapor pressure makes the risk for “oil mist” minimal.
Easy cleaning of machines and no need for strong solvents as is the case with mineral oils.
No contamination of the ground and groundwater because the lubricants are water soluble and will dissolve and be diluted in the ground. The lubricants are also rapidly degradable. This is good since lubricants are often sprayed or leaked on the ground in agricultural processes.
