The Science Behind Bel-Ray® Food Grade Lubricants

The Bel-Ray® No-Tox® product line is specifically engineered with innovative technology and carefully selected raw materials to meet the stringent demands of food processing and other clean industry environments. The state-of-the-art formulation behind these lubricants ensures exceptional performance and compliance with crucial regulatory and safety standards. 

Advanced Formulations and Base Fluids

The foundation of our food grade lubricants is their high-quality base fluids. Many of our products are formulated with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) white mineral oils and food grade additives, which meet NSF H1 and FDA requirements for incidental food contact.

Other products, especially those operating in extreme conditions, utilize synthetic base stocks. For example, our No-Tox® Syntra™ Food Grade Synthetic Oil series is a PAO-based, premium lubricant available in 11 grades ranging from ISO VG 15 to 1000.

Commonly known as No-Tox Syntra Oil, this high performance lubricant is designed to give exceptional anti-wear and rust and corrosion protection in a wide range of applications including hydraulic systems, gear cases, chains, compressor, bearings and circulating systems and other applications found in the clean industries.
