CRC Food Grade Chain Lube 340g Aerosol

CRC Food Grade Chain Lube is a special blend of mineral oil and synthetic additives, designed to keep roller drive and conveyor chains lubricated. CRC lists it as NSF H1, registered for incidental food contact.

It is a foaming aerosol with a low viscosity formula that creeps between wire strands, chain links, pins, rollers and sprockets. The film does not dry and stays in place. This page covers the 340g aerosol, CRC product number FG03055.
