Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Mobil DTE FM Series oils are high-performance lubricants designed to satisfy a wide range of multi-use equipment requirements in the food processing and packaging industry. Qualified as NSF H1 lubricants and compliant with FDA Title 21 CFR 178.3570 for incidental food contact, they are manufactured in ISO 22000 certified facilities in line with ISO 21469 hygiene principles. These tasteless, odourless, premium-quality oils are formulated with non-toxic NSF/FDA food-grade base oils and additives that provide good wear protection, excellent oxidation stability and rust protection. Mobil DTE FM 68 is the ISO VG 68 grade of the series, with a kinematic viscosity of 68.5 mm²/s at 40 °C and 8.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, a viscosity index of 101 and a pour point of -15 °C. Like the other grades, it is an excellent gear, bearing and circulating oil, also suitable for critical hydraulic components such as close-clearance servo-valves and high-accuracy NC machine tools, as well as compressors, vacuum pumps and air-line lubricators. Its naturally high viscosity index base oils and high FZG Gear Test rating (fail load stage 12+) demonstrate excellent protection against wear and scuffing, letting a single product cover gear, bearing, circulating and hydraulic applications across multi-metallurgy designs. Mobil DTE FM 68 holds NSF ISO 21469 certification and NSF H1 registration, as do the other grades of the series, and meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 requirements, offering excellent air separation, very good water separation and high-level corrosion protection to reduce inventory needs and the risk of product misapplication.

Applications

• Suitable for multi-service applications in the lubrication of machinery used in all food-processing industries, fish processing and meat-packing plants.
• Excellent gear, bearing, circulating-system and hydraulic oils.
• Compressors and vacuum pumps handling air and inert gases.
• Air-line lubricators.
• Systems requiring a high degree of load-carrying capability and anti-wear protection.
• Machines employing a wide range of components using various metallurgy.

Performance & benefits

• Non-toxic formulation, with very good anti-wear properties and excellent oxidation stability — allows use in food packaging and processing applications, reduces wear, extends equipment life, provides long oil and equipment life, extends filter life and prevents internal hydraulic system corrosion.
• High-level corrosion protection — reduces the negative effects of moisture in systems and provides corrosion protection of multi-metallurgy component designs; multi-service applications — one product can replace several.
• Meets a wide range of equipment requirements — minimises inventory requirements and the potential for product misapplication.
• Excellent air-separation characteristics and very good water-separation properties — reduces foaming and its negative effects, protects systems where small quantities of moisture are present, and readily separates larger quantities of water.
