From Source to Tap

Ensuring safe and healthy drinking water is a priority. Strict standards for drinking water system components have been established by the NSF to minimize chemical contaminants and impurities that can be directly imparted to potable water from products, compounds, and materials used in drinking water systems. Our new Potable Water Applications Overview showcases Fluorocarbon Gel 880FG and 885FG, two lubricants that are NSF/ANSI 61 approved to be used in drinking water applications from source to tap. This certification allows Nye to sell our products for commercial water treatment and drinking water for both hot and cold water applications.

Fluorocarbon Gel 880FG and 885FG are PTFE-thickened, heavy viscosity dimethyl silicone greases. These odorless greases provide excellent water and oxidative resistance over a broad temperature range. They were designed for sealing, damping, and lubricating potable water applications, such as faucets, plumbing, water filters, and pumps, amongst others.
