1.6 The lubricant
The contact area between hose and rotor is lubricated
to reduce friction and improve the hose life. The
lubricant is referred to as Bredel Genuine Hose
Lubricant and is registered at NSF International as an
acceptable lubricant with incidental food contact (H1)
for use in and around food processing areas
(registration number: 123204). The lubricant is non
toxic, food grade, and soluble in water.
The lubricant has a HMIS rating and liquid flammability
class IIIB, flash point greater than or equal to 200°F
(95°C). The Hazardous Materials Identification System
(HMIS) is a numerical hazard rating developed as a
compliance aid for the United States Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
On each container is a label with information about the
lubricant. The containers are available in various
volumes. On the US labels the HMIS rating is indicated.
Each label has the NSF mark with registration number.
