Highly versatile, dry film food grade lubricant fortified
with MicPol®. Designed for a multitude of general machinery, (slat) conveyor
and chain lubrication applications using central lubrication systems.
Formulated to reduce your maintenance and down time costs and the number of
lubricants in use. Goes on wet, displaces moisture, breaks down deposits and
penetrates even into the most inaccessible areas. Prevents the formation of
rust and other corrosives. Forms a highly durable, non-staining dry lubrication
film that virtually eliminates wear on moving parts. Holds up to high
pressures, resists water wash-off and will not attract dirt, dust and other
abrasives.
Listed by the NSF® (Class H-1) which gives this oil full acceptability for use
in all areas where incidental contact with food, beverages or drugs may occur.
Halal, Kosher and ISO 21469 certified.
Application areas
For the lubrication and conservation of conveyors, chains, cables, sliding tracks, joints, pivots, cams, belts, lifts, pulleys, threaded parts, bolts, rollers, taps, valves and many other moving parts operating in (non) food-stuff environment.
Instructions for use
Shake once or stir before use according to the size of the packaging. Parts should be cleaned first with a solvent or alkaline cleaning agent. Spray Interflon Food Lube AL onto parts such as cables and chains and allow to penetrate. Wipe off the excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Please consult your technical advisor for more specific details. Note: do not use too much Interflon Food Lube AL. Applying a thin layer, with occasional re-lubrication, gives a better result than a thick layer.

Safety & Compliance
What is MicPol® technology?
MicPol® technology is Interflon's proprietary lubrication technology, specifically developed to reduce friction between moving parts to the lowest possible level.
Based on micronisation and polarisation, MicPol® technology uses ultra-fine additives that reach microscopic surface irregularities and adhere strongly to metal. Through alignment, netting and anchoring, these additives form a smooth, resilient tribofilm that provides long-lasting protection.
Key benefits of MicPol® technology:
- Consistently low friction across a wide range of speeds and load conditions
- Extended lubrication intervals and reduced lubricant consumption
- Reliable wear protection and longer component service life
- Enhanced protection against water, dust, dirt and corrosion
- Free from PFAS, PTFE, microplastics, silicones, nanomaterials and SVHCs
About Interflon Oils
What is the difference between oils and greases?
Form: Oils are liquids, while greases are semi-solids.
Mobility: Oils flow freely and are suitable for circulating systems, while greases stay put, making them ideal for applications where retention is crucial.
Applications: Oils are often used for internal lubrication of engines, hydraulics, and gearboxes where heat dissipation and continuous flow are important. Greases are preferred for bearings, open gears, and components exposed to contamination, shock loads, or infrequent maintenance, as they provide a thicker, more durable barrier.
Sealing: Greases can act as a sealant, preventing contaminants from entering the lubricated area, which oils generally cannot do as effectively.
What is MicPol® technology and how does it work?
MicPol® Technology is a key component in many Interflon products, enhancing their performance in various applications. It involves the use of very small and polarized particles that create a durable, low-friction film on surfaces.
The name MicPol is a combination of micronization and polarization.
Micronization is part of a unique process, the components of the lubricant are reduced to such size that they are able to penetrate into all pores and sub-pores of the surface to be lubricated. This enables them to form a much better homogeneous barrier between moving parts (lubricating film).
Polarization happens during the production process when all components are given a charge. This ensures a unique adhesion to the surfaces to be lubricated. In addition, Interflon has succeeded in charging part of the base oil as well. This is called a bonding bridge and provides better resistance to high pressures as well.
Key Benefits:
- Superior Reduction of Friction and Wear
- Energy Efficiency
- Temperature Reduction
- Protection Against Contaminants
- Long-Lasting Lubrication
- Emergency Lubrication Properties
What is a food-grade lubricant oil?
A food-grade lubricant oil is specially formulated for use in food and beverage processing environments where incidental or direct food contact may occur. NSF H1 lubricants are approved for applications where incidental food contact is possible, while NSF 3H lubricants are suitable for use as release agents where direct food contact may occur. Interflon offers a wide range of food-grade oils designed to provide reliable lubrication while meeting the strict hygiene and safety requirements of the food industry.
Why choose Interflon oils over conventional oil lubricants?
Interflon's oils provide superior performance through its unique MicPol® Technology with many benefits:
- Reduced Friction and Wear: The MicPol® particles form an ultra-smooth, dry lubricating film that drastically lowers friction between moving parts. This leads to less wear, extended component life, and reduced maintenance needs.
- Energy Efficiency: Lower friction directly translates to reduced energy consumption and, consequently, lower CO2 emissions, offering environmental and cost benefits.
- Temperature Reduction: By minimizing friction, operating temperatures are lowered, which helps prevent thermal degradation of both the lubricant and the machinery components.
- Protection Against Contaminants: The dry film created by MicPol® Technology does not attract dirt, dust, or other abrasives, keeping surfaces cleaner and further reducing wear. It also provides excellent protection against moisture and corrosion.
- Long-Lasting Lubrication: The durable film adheres strongly to surfaces, providing extended lubrication even under extreme pressures, high loads, and water wash-off, leading to longer re-lubrication intervals.
- Emergency Lubrication: In some formulations, MicPol® provides emergency lubrication, ensuring continued protection even if the primary lubricant film is compromised.
