ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS 400 g – synthetic food-grade grease NLGI 2 NSF H1
ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS is a synthetic food-grade grease formulated with polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oil and a calcium sulfonate complex thickener. It is designed for lubrication points in food processing machinery where high load-carrying capacity, mechanical stability, water resistance and corrosion protection are important.
Equipment used in food production frequently operates under demanding conditions, including moisture, washing processes and temperature fluctuations. ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS combines synthetic PAO technology with the performance characteristics of a calcium sulfonate complex and NSF H1 registration no. 141517.
The grease has NLGI 2 consistency and is offered in a 400 g package.
Applications of ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS
The grease is intended for equipment requiring resistance to heavy loads, moisture and variable operating temperatures.
- Bearings in food processing machinery – lubrication under mechanical loads and elevated temperatures.
- Food production equipment – lubrication points requiring an NSF H1 registered grease.
- Machinery exposed to moisture and washdown – applications where water washout resistance and corrosion protection are important.
- Low-temperature mechanisms – suitable applications operating at temperatures down to -40°C.
- Heavily loaded components – lubrication points requiring load-carrying performance and wear protection.
Before use, check the equipment manufacturer's recommendations regarding NLGI grade, base oil viscosity and operating conditions.
Key benefits of ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS
Synthetic PAO base oil
ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS uses synthetic PAO base oil with a viscosity of approximately 50 mm²/s at 40°C. Base oil viscosity is an important selection parameter for bearings and moving mechanisms.
Calcium sulfonate complex thickener
The calcium sulfonate complex provides the grease with mechanical stability, load-carrying properties and resistance to water and corrosion.
Excellent water washout resistance
The manufacturer's technical data reports a typical grease loss of 0.5% at 80°C in the ASTM D1264 water washout test. This property is particularly relevant in equipment exposed to moisture and frequent washing.
High load-carrying capacity
ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS achieves a four-ball weld load of 4000 N according to ASTM D2596. This demonstrates its load-carrying capability under the specified test conditions.
Wide operating temperature range
The manufacturer specifies a long-term lubrication temperature range from -40°C to +177°C, with a short-term admissible peak of +200°C. Suitability must be assessed against actual operating conditions and equipment specifications.
NSF H1 registration and food industry certifications
ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS is registered as NSF H1 under number 141517. The manufacturer also declares Kosher and Halal certification. NSF H1 applies to lubrication applications where incidental contact with food may occur.
When should you choose ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS?
Choose ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS when an NLGI 2 synthetic grease is required for food processing machinery operating under heavy loads, in the presence of water or across a wide temperature range.
A distinguishing feature is its PAO base oil viscosity of approximately 50 mm²/s at 40°C combined with a long-term operating temperature range extending down to -40°C. However, suitability for individual high-speed bearings depends on bearing geometry, speed, load and the manufacturer's recommendations.
What should you check before use?
- NLGI grade: confirm that NLGI 2 consistency is specified for the mechanism.
- Base oil viscosity: consider approximately 50 mm²/s at 40°C when selecting a lubricant for bearings.
- Temperature: +200°C is a short-term peak value, not a continuous operating limit.
- Compatibility: verify compatibility with the grease currently in use and the equipment materials.
- NSF H1: registration does not permit intentional food contact.
- Relubrication interval: establish the schedule according to equipment requirements and operating conditions.
Melkib Academy – NLGI 2 versus base oil viscosity
NLGI 2 describes grease consistency based on penetration characteristics. Base oil viscosity, expressed in mm²/s, describes the flow properties of the oil component.
ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS has NLGI 2 consistency and uses synthetic PAO base oil with a viscosity of approximately 50 mm²/s at 40°C. These parameters describe different aspects of grease performance and should both be considered during selection.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS
Is ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS suitable for food processing machinery?
Yes. It has NSF H1 registration no. 141517 and is intended for suitable lubrication points in food processing equipment where incidental food contact may occur.
Can ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS be used at -40°C?
The manufacturer specifies -40°C as the lower limit for long-term lubrication. Starting torque, bearing speed and equipment design must still be considered.
Is ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS suitable for bearings?
It can be used in properly selected bearings, including applications involving substantial loads. Selection must consider base oil viscosity, NLGI consistency, temperature, speed and bearing design.
Is ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS water-resistant?
Yes. The manufacturer reports excellent resistance to water washout, with a typical 0.5% loss at 80°C under ASTM D1264 test conditions.
Can ANDEROL FGCS-2 PLUS be mixed with another grease?
Compatibility should not be assumed. Check the base oils and thickener systems of both greases and follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations for changing lubricants.
Does NSF H1 mean that the grease can be used directly in food?
No. NSF H1 covers lubricants used where incidental food contact may occur, not intentional addition to food.
What is the difference between NLGI 2 and 50 mm²/s?
NLGI 2 defines the consistency of the finished grease. Approximately 50 mm²/s refers to the viscosity of its PAO base oil at 40°C.
How frequently should bearings be relubricated?
The manufacturer's test results do not establish a universal relubrication interval. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and consider load, temperature and operating conditions.
