Texaco Cygnus® Gear Oils 460

Subcategory: Fluid

Close Analogs: CPS Number: 222664; MSDS Number: 8619

Material Notes:
Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils deliver value through:

• High quality control — Enables customer to use lubricants almost as pure as the food being processed
• High performance — Provides lubrication better than that given by the white mineral oils generally used and comparable to nonfood grade lubricants
• Oxidation inhibition — Gives long life without forming gummy and sticky deposits
• Multipurpose lubricant — Enables customer to reduce inventory
• Odorless and tasteless — Food processor can be sure his product will not be adulterated if incidental food contact should occur
• Excellent antiwear protection, long service intervals, and rust protection
• Environmental sensitivity — Passes the acute aquatic toxicity (LC 50) test for fish and are considered inherently biodegradable. Suitable for conventional oil collection/recycling programs.

  Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils are premium performance industrial lubricants designed for use in the food processing and other sensitive industries where incidental food contact may occur.

  Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils provide performance well above that found in typical white mineral oils often used in the food industry.

  Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils contain a biocide that prevents bacterial growth while the product is in storage to ensure that the lubricant will not be a source of bacterial contamination in a food plant.

  Recommended for enclosed gear sets, reduction gears, and gear drives which are sensitively located in a food processing operation.

  It can also be used in hydraulic or circulating systems that require a higher viscosity lubricant.

  Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils:

  • conform to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements of lubricants with incidental food contact, 21 CFR 178.3570. Lubricants with incidental food contact should not contaminate food at levels greater than 10 ppm.
  • are registered with NSF and are acceptable as a lubricant where incidental food contact may occur (H1) in and around food processing areas. The NSF Nonfood Compounds Registration Program is a continuation of the USDA product approval and listing program, which is based on meeting regulatory requirements of appropriate use, ingredient review and labeling verification.
  • are certified Kosher and Pareve.
  • are accepted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for use in Registered Plants and for use on food equipment or machinery parts where contact with food is only incidental.

• Texaco Cygnus Gear Oils meet these stringent standards of purity while performing exceptionally well in high pressure hydraulic applications, airline lubrication, gears, and gearhead motors.

  Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are to be expected in normal manufacturing.
