Texaco Cygnus Gear Oil

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:

• 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.
