Non-toxic synthetic lubricants

Vacuum pump lubrification requires competency and experience.

Some gases, when inhaled, can mix with oils to cause rapid deterioration or significant alteration of viscosity.
Food safety regulations govern the use of lubricants that may come into contact with food products: when the pump is positioned onboard the machine, H1 class NSF-certified non-toxic lubricants are required. To this end, Service Air offers SA498 (ISO 100 certified non-toxic oil for vane vacuum pumps - registration number: NSF H1 149635) and SA499 (diester lubricant for vacuum pumps subject to high temperatures).
