Lubricants used in food production must meet specific requirements: They must not pose a risk to consumers and, at the same time, must function reliably under demanding conditions. H1 lubricants have been specially developed to be safe in the event of occasional, unintentional contact with food - while providing optimal protection for machine components.
In food processing, compliance with HACCP standards (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is mandatory. H1 lubricants are now an integral part of these safety concepts, as they help reliably safeguard critical control points (CCPs). This reduces the risk of contamination, ensures compliance with legal requirements, and prevents costly product recalls.
The NSF registration confirms that all ingredients, safety data sheets, and formulations have been verified by independent testing laboratories. Only raw materials listed in the NSF’s “White Book®” or in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) may be used. The NSF H1 seal is therefore your objective proof of safety and quality in the food industry.
According to IfD Allensbach, 48% of consumers are concerned about harmful additives in food. Companies that consistently use H1-registered lubricants create transparency, strengthen their brand image, and thereby secure clear competitive advantages in the B2B sector.
Since 1992, ELKALUB has been developing and manufacturing high-quality lubricants for the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the graphic arts industry. Today, more than 100 products hold NSF H1 certification – ensuring maximum safety, efficient processes, and long-term equipment operation.
