Description
Product Description
FUCHS CASSIDA CHAIN OIL LT is a premium fully synthetic food-grade chain lubricant specially developed for low-temperature applications in food and beverage processing equipment, freezer conveyor systems, spiral freezers, transport chains, slideways, plain bearings, and rolling bearings. Formulated with high-performance synthetic base oils and advanced anti-wear additives, it provides excellent low-temperature fluidity, superior wear protection, outstanding oxidation stability, excellent corrosion protection, and reliable lubrication in sub-zero operating conditions.
CASSIDA CHAIN OIL LT 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 within the CASSIDA range, which is developed specifically for food and beverage processing industries and associated applications.
