Purity FG Chain Fluid lubricates chains, conveyors, and bearings on food processing machinery. 
Purity FG Chain Fluid has excellent tackiness and is highly resistant to water wash-off, reducing the
frequency of reapplication.

It also offers excellent extreme pressure properties – FZG stage 12 pass – and is suitable for brush,
drip feed or centralized application, at temperatures up to 200°C.

Purity FG Trolley Fluid lubricates hook and trolley systems in meat processing operations, maintaining
full lubrication, even under heavy loads.  Special lubricity additive reduces bearing friction to prevent sluggish
or sticking trolleys. Anti-wear additives protect against pin and bushing wear; strong anti-corrosion additives
prevent corrosive wear.

Purity FG Trolley Fluid protects meat products from contact with rust particles and other metal oxides,
reducing production wastage.  It has a special tackifier that strongly adheres to metal surfaces and helps
prevent fluid drips and throw-off from chains.

Purity FG Trolley Fluid remains fluid at low temperatures, ensures proper lubrication and smooth,
uninterrupted trolley operation in chilled areas.  It is tasteless, odorless and non-staining, and wipes up
quickly in the event of incidental contact with meat products.

Purity FG Heat Transfer Fluid is ideal for non-pressurized, indirectly heated, liquid phase heat transfer systems
used in food processing or pharmaceutical operations. Applications include edible oil deodorizing, drying, heating
deep frying oils and central cooking facilities. May also be used in heating baths where odorless, non-toxic properties
are required for worker health and safety.

Purity FG Heat Transfer Fluid is a high efficiency, long life, non-toxic fluid for heat transfer systems operating
up to 326°C (620°F). Performance benefits include low volatility, greatly reduced fluid loss due to vaporization,
