CRC Food Grade 5-56 Multi-Purpose Lubricant 312g NSF H1 Aerosol

CRC Food Grade 5-56 is a multi-purpose maintenance spray designed for the food industry. CRC states it is NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact. It penetrates quickly to break away rust and corrosion, frees components bonded by dirt and scale, and lubricates moving parts for smooth action while silencing squeaks and squeals.

It displaces moisture, which helps get machinery running again after water exposure, and leaves a protective thin film for ongoing protection against corrosion. It is part of CRC's Greenlight Food Safety Program, which CRC says assists audit compliance. This page covers the 312g aerosol, CRC product number FG05005.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

For a food grade penetrating oil see CRC Non Silicone Food Grade Penetrating Oil 312g; for a food grade machine oil see CRC Food Grade Machine Oil 312g. The standard CRC 5-56 Multi-Purpose Lubricant is not food grade, so use this version wherever incidental food contact is possible. Each product has its own data sheet and hazard classification.

Storage and handling

Store as for any aerosol: protect from sunlight, do not expose to temperatures above 50 °C, and do not pierce or burn the can, even after use.

Limits and safety

NSF H1 registration covers incidental food contact only, where contact with food is possible but not intended. It is not for direct food contact. This is a pressurised aerosol, so keep it away from heat and ignition sources. Read the label and the safety data sheet before use.
