ExxonMobil breaks new ground with food grade lube

ExxonMobil has expanded the range of its food grade lubricants that have won ISO 22000 accreditation.

ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialities Marketing Company, which is based in Virginia and a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation, said the products offered exceptional equipment protection even under demanding operating conditions.

The factory obtaining the accreditation makes National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) H1-registered lubes.

Products covered

They include Mobil DTE FM Series Mobil DTE FM Series high-performance hydraulic gear and bearing lubricants, Mobil SHC Polyrex Series synthetic greases and Mobilgrease FM Series multi-purpose greases.

The firm claims that the accreditation breaks new ground. “We are thrilled to be the only lubricant manufacturer to have NSF H1-registered lubricants produced in ISO 22000 certified facilities,” said Yan Cote, global business development advisor for ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants.

‘Supporting food safety assurance objectives’

“This certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting our customers’ food safety assurance objectives,” he added.

Last year, facilities manufacturing the company’s Mobil SHC Cibus Series family of hydraulic, gear and air compressor lubricants with energy efficiency benefits – suitable for Kosher and Halal applications - also won ISO 22000 accreditation.

These lubes are suitable for use in applications associated with meat, dairy, baked goods, beverage, brewery, pet food, sugar, pharmaceutical and grain processing.
