Quartz SAC FOOD PLUS 2 grease is designed to cover a wide range of food safe applications, encompassing extremes of temperature, wet and saturated environments, heavily loaded applications and where there is a presence of dust and other contaminants. Quartz FOOD PLUS 2 greases contain extreme pressure / anti-wear additives and PTFE to provide a high degree of load carrying performance. Suitable for all plain and anti-friction bearings as well as sliding surfaces. The FOOD PLUS range of greases is available in NLGI Nos. 2, 1 and 00.
Outstanding Features
· Wide performance characteristics enable standardisation to one product for most food safe applications
· Provides long term lubrication at high temperatures, extending lubrication intervals
· Excellent anti-wear performance prolonging component life
· Exceptional degree of water resistance providing lasting lubrication and protecting against corrosion

Directions for Use
Quartz FOOD PLUS 2 can be applied by hand, or by using a standard grease gun (400g cartridges are available), or via a central lubricating system capable of pumping an NLGI No. 2 grease As with all greases used for the first time, check compatibility with the grease applied previously and if necessary purge bearings prior to application. Likewise, as a general rule, take care not to overlubricate and apply the quantity of grease recommended by the bearing manufacturer
