food industry
Product Description
Shell Cassida® Fluid CR 46 is a high performance fluid specially developed for use in rotary screw and vane air

Incidental Food Contact

Registered by NSF (Class H1) and meets the former USDA H1 guidelines (1998) for lubricants where there is a
potential for incidental food contact. Made only from substances permitted under the US FDA Title 21 CFR
178.3570, 178.3620 and/or those generally regarded as safe (US 21 CFR 182) for use in food lubricants. To comply
with the requirements of US 21 CRF 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided where possible. In the case of
incidental food contact, the concentration of this product in the food must not exceed 10 parts per million (10 mg/kg
of foodstuff). In locations and/or applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration
limits, this same 10 ppm limit should be observed, as up to this concentration Shell Cassida Fluid CR will not impart
undesirable taste, odor, or color to food. Consistent with good manufacturing practice, use only the amount
necessary to achieve correct lubrication and take appropriate corrective action should excessive incidental contact with
food be detected.
Handling and Storage

All food grade lubricants, such as Shell Cassida® Fluid CR 46, should be stored separately, out of direct sunlight or
other heat sources, from other lubricants, chemical substances and foodstuffs. Store between 0 and 40 deg. C.
Provided that the product has been stored under these conditions, the recommended shelf life of the product
unopened, is 5 years from date of manufacture. Accept for use new Shell Cassida® products only if the
manufacturer’s seal is intact, and then record the date the seal was broken. Before opening the pack ensure the area
around the closure is clean. It is recommended that it be cleaned with Shell Cassida® Fluid PL and/or potable
water and then dried with a clean cloth. Record the date the seal was broken. To prevent product contamination,
always close the package after use. Use the product within 2 years of opening or within 5 years of date of
manufacture, whichever is sooner.
