ANDEROL FGCS-2 400 g – food-grade grease NLGI 2 with NSF H1 registration
ANDEROL FGCS-2 is a specialist food-grade grease designed for machinery requiring water resistance, high load-carrying capacity and corrosion protection. It is formulated with white oil and a calcium sulfonate complex thickener.
Food processing machinery often operates in wet environments, undergoes regular washdown and must maintain suitable lubrication under mechanical loads. ANDEROL FGCS-2 is formulated to meet these challenges, combining NLGI 2 consistency with excellent mechanical stability and water washout resistance.
The product is NSF H1 registered for applications where incidental contact with food may occur. The manufacturer also confirms Kosher and Halal certification. Supplied in a 400 g package.
Applications of ANDEROL FGCS-2
The grease is intended for industrial mechanisms requiring appropriate consistency, resistance to mechanical loads and suitability for food processing environments.
- Bearings in food processing machinery – lubrication of correctly selected bearings operating under load.
- Food production lines – lubrication points requiring NSF H1 registered grease.
- Equipment exposed to moisture and washdown – applications where water washout resistance is important.
- Packaging and bottling equipment – compatible mechanisms meeting the equipment manufacturer's requirements.
- Heavily loaded moving components – lubrication points requiring good load-carrying capacity and wear protection.
Before use, check the equipment manufacturer's recommendations concerning NLGI grade, base oil viscosity, operating temperature and relubrication requirements.
Key benefits of ANDEROL FGCS-2
Calcium sulfonate complex thickener
The calcium sulfonate complex contributes to mechanical stability, water resistance, corrosion protection and load-carrying properties.
Excellent resistance to water washout
According to the manufacturer's data, typical grease loss in the ASTM D1264 water washout test at 80°C is 0.3%. This is particularly relevant for machinery operating in damp environments or undergoing regular washing.
High load-carrying capacity
ANDEROL FGCS-2 achieves a four-ball weld load of 4000 N according to ASTM D2596. This test result indicates the grease's load-carrying capability under specified laboratory conditions.
Mechanical stability
The manufacturer highlights excellent mechanical stability, particularly in the presence of heat and water, as well as resistance to separation under centrifugal forces.
Operating temperature range
ANDEROL FGCS-2 has a specified long-term lubrication temperature range from -20°C to +160°C. The short-term permissible temperature peak is +200°C. This peak value must not be interpreted as the continuous operating limit.
NSF H1 registration and Kosher and Halal certification
NSF H1 registration covers suitable lubrication applications where incidental food contact may occur. The product is also certified Kosher and Halal according to the manufacturer.
When should you choose ANDEROL FGCS-2?
ANDEROL FGCS-2 is worth considering when equipment requires an NLGI 2 grease, operates under load and is exposed to moisture or regular washing.
The product uses white oil with a viscosity of approximately 95 mm²/s at 40°C. This value should be considered when assessing the required lubrication performance for a particular bearing or mechanism.
What should you check before use?
- Consistency: confirm that NLGI 2 is suitable for the equipment.
- Base oil viscosity: consider approximately 95 mm²/s at 40°C when selecting grease for bearings.
- Temperature: +160°C is the upper specified limit for long-term lubrication.
- Changing grease: check compatibility with the previously used lubricant.
- Food safety: NSF H1 registration does not permit intentional addition to food.
- Relubrication schedule: establish intervals according to equipment manufacturer recommendations and operating conditions.
Melkib Academy – what is white oil in a grease?
White oil is a highly purified hydrocarbon oil. Its use in a grease does not automatically mean that the finished product is fully synthetic.
ANDEROL FGCS-2 contains white oil and a calcium sulfonate complex thickener. When selecting a grease, base oil type and NLGI consistency must be treated as different characteristics.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about ANDEROL FGCS-2
Is ANDEROL FGCS-2 suitable for food processing machinery?
Yes. It is NSF H1 registered for suitable lubrication applications where incidental food contact may occur.
Is ANDEROL FGCS-2 a synthetic grease?
The manufacturer specifies white oil as the base oil. It should not be automatically identified as a synthetic PAO grease.
Can ANDEROL FGCS-2 be used in bearings?
Yes, when suitable for the bearing design and operating conditions. Consider NLGI 2 consistency, approximately 95 mm²/s base oil viscosity, bearing speed and load.
Is the grease resistant to water washout?
Yes. The typical loss in the ASTM D1264 test at 80°C is 0.3%, according to the manufacturer.
What is the operating temperature range?
The specified long-term lubrication range is -20°C to +160°C, with a short-term admissible temperature peak of +200°C.
Can ANDEROL FGCS-2 be mixed with another grease?
Compatibility should not be assumed without checking base oil and thickener types. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations when changing grease.
Does NSF H1 allow direct food contact?
NSF H1 covers possible incidental food contact, not intentional addition of the grease to food.
How often should machinery be relubricated?
There is no single universal relubrication interval. Follow the equipment manufacturer's requirements and consider operating conditions.
