Description
Product Description
FUCHS CASSIDA CHAIN OIL HTE is a premium fully synthetic ester-based food-grade high-temperature chain lubricant specially developed for drive chains, transport chains, conveyor systems, bakery ovens, food processing equipment, and packaging machinery operating at elevated temperatures up to 240°C. Formulated with advanced synthetic ester technology and selected high-performance additives, it provides excellent thermal stability, low evaporation losses, superior chain adhesion, excellent corrosion protection, reduced lubricant consumption, and reliable lubrication under severe high-temperature conditions.
CASSIDA CHAIN OIL HTE is designed for applications where lubricants may come into incidental contact with food products and is registered as an NSF H1 food-grade lubricant. It is manufactured according to food industry quality requirements, including NSF ISO 21469 certification.
