On June 28th, NSF Has processed the application for Registration of PFPE OIL TOPDA B-800 & B-1800 to the NSF International Registration Guidelines for Proprietary Substances and Nonfood Compounds (2021), which are available upon request by contacting NonFood@nsf.org. The NSF Nonfood Compounds Registration Program is a continuation of the USDA product apprroval and listing program, which is based on meeting regulatory requirements including FDA 21 CFR for appropriate use, ingredient and labeling review.
This product is acceptable as a lubricant with incidental food contact (H1) for use in and around food processing areas. Such compounds may be used on food processing equipment as a protective anti-rust film, as a release agent on gaskets or seals of tank closures, and as a lubricant for machine parts and equipment in locations in which there is a potential exposure of the lubricated part to food. The amount used should be the minimum required to accomplish the desired technical effect on the equipment. If used as an anti-rust film, the compound must be removed from the equipment surface by washing or wiping, as required to leave the surface effectively free of any substance which could be transferred to food being processed.
