JAX ANNOUNCES HALO-GUARD FG
New, Advanced Technology Food Grade Grease


MENOMONEE FALLS (May 25, 2002) – BEHNKE LUBRICANTS INC/JAX, a leader in high-technology industrial, synthetic and food grade lubricants, announced today the availability of the newest member of its sophisticated, high performance line of food grade greases. JAX HALO-GUARD FG food grade, corrosion control grease provides performance levels formerly associated only with high performance, EP (Extreme Pressure) industrial grade greases.

This new food grade grease will compliment others in the JAX Line and is formulated for use on high temperature food processing equipment, and all other grease lubricated machinery subject to extremely high loading, premature wear rates and high processing temperatures. JAX HALO-GUARD FG will provide remarkable performance on bearings in highly corrosive environments such as tomato processing, sauer kraut packing and other high acid product plants. It is also extremely well suited for high temperature cookers, steam peelers and numerous oven processing applications.

JAX HALO-GUARD FG utilizes new, unconventional thickener technology, which avoids many of the problems associated with current aluminum complex, food grade grease thickeners. This would include eliminating age hardening, drastically increasing pump-ability and providing greatly enhanced performance in automatic, centralized grease applications by reducing or eliminating grease separation under high-pressure dispensing conditions.

JAX HALO-GUARD FG offers superior rust and corrosion prevention properties that are unmatched with any other food grade grease technology. In addition, the levels of EP (Extreme Pressure) and anti-wear performance are among the best ever reported for a food grade grease.
Coupled with JAX recently introduced POLY-GUARD FG, and now followed by HALO-GUARD FG, JAX is currently providing two NSF H1 food grade greases that provide performance levels higher than any existing food grade grease. In most cases, these products also offer higher performance levels than conventional non-food grade greases. These are the first USDA H1 greases that can be used successfully on all equipment in modern food processing and packaging plants – from the receiving dock to the shipping department, and all processing and packaging equipment in between.
