Silicones That Work

NSF International has approved SSP-1219, a lubricating grease from Specialty Silicone Products (SSP), for incidental food contact (H1) in and around food processing areas. This stiff, tacky lubricating compound is included in the current NSF White Book Listing of Nonfood Compounds at the NSF website. The NSF Registration No. is 156075 and the Certificate No. is C0096873-01.  SSP-1219 may be used on food processing equipment as a protective anti-rust film, a release agent on tank closure [...]

Silicone greases provide parts lubrication and electrical insulation for applications that require resistance to demanding temperatures, pressures, and loads. These industrial lubricants have excellent fluidity at low temperatures and exhibit low volatility and good thermal stability at high temperatures. Compared to petroleum-based lubricants, silicone greases also have a wider useful temperature range.   Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies silicone greases, lubricating [...]

Silicone greases are waterproof lubricants that provide sealing and insulation for mechanical, electrical, military, marine, and many other applications. They’re made by combining a silicone oil with a special thickener, and are supplied in tubes, jars, cartridges, and plastic pails as a translucent, whitish, viscous paste. Many different types of silicone greases are available, so it’s important to select a lubricating compound that’s right for your application. Specialty [...]
