Mobil SHC Cibus 100
Mobil SHC Cibus 100 is an outstanding performance lubricant developed for use in food and beverage processing and packaging equipment where incidental food contact may occur. It is NSF H1 registered and complies with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 requirements, making it suitable for use in applications requiring food-grade lubrication. The formulation is based on FDA and NSF registered synthetic hydrocarbon base fluids and advanced additives to deliver reliable performance in demanding operating conditions.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Cibus 100 is its excellent equipment protection and long oil life. The lubricant provides strong anti-wear performance and load-carrying capability, helping protect gears, bearings and circulating systems from wear and surface damage. Its excellent oxidation stability helps minimise sludge and deposit formation, contributing to extended service intervals and reduced maintenance requirements.
Mobil SHC Cibus 100 also offers a naturally high viscosity index and low traction coefficient. These properties help maintain lubricant film thickness at elevated temperatures while supporting low-temperature start-up performance. Reduced fluid friction may contribute to improved mechanical efficiency, lower operating temperatures and potential energy savings compared with conventional mineral oils.
Another important benefit is its excellent water separation and corrosion protection. The lubricant helps protect system components even in moist environments or areas subject to high wash-down. Mobil SHC Cibus 100 is also compatible with seals and construction materials typically used with mineral oil lubricants, simplifying conversion and helping reduce leakage risks. The product is pale in colour, low in odour and free from animal-derived materials and common allergens.
Mobil SHC Cibus 100 is recommended for gear, bearing and circulating systems in food and beverage processing plants. It can also be used in a variety of applications across processing and packaging equipment, helping reduce lubricant inventory by allowing a single product to serve multiple functions. The product is suitable for inclusion within HACCP plans and can be used above or below the processing line where NSF H1 registration is required.
Physical characteristics include ISO VG 100 viscosity grade with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 100 mm²/s at 40°C and 14.6 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC Cibus 100 has a viscosity index of approximately 143, a flash point of approximately 270°C and a pour point of approximately −45°C. The product also provides excellent rust protection and strong load-carrying capability, supporting reliable performance in food-grade gear and bearing applications.
