BARRIERTA L 55 series
High-temperature long-term greases

Benefits for your application

– Higher machine availability and less need for maintenance
– at very high operating temperatures up to 260 °C
– under the influence of aggressive media and vapours
– where other lubricants might affect sensitive plastic components
– Tried and tested over many years in numerous industries and component types
– thanks to BARRIERTA base oils, which are made specifically to enable long-term stability
– backed by a large number of approvals and references for various applications
– four consistency classes to suit different applications

Description – conveyors (load and turn rollers)

– kiln cart wheel bearings
BARRIERTA is Europe's oldest high-quality brand of high-
temperature lubricants based on perfluorinated polyether oil – calender bearings
(PFPE). Today the name of BARRIERTA is widely regarded as – fan bearings
synonymous with long-term stability and thermal resistance.
– chain bearings in film stretching stenters

Application – pneumatic components
– level gauges, e.g. for fuels or chemicals
Rolling and plain bearings subject to high temperatures

One of the well-known strengths of the BARRIERTA L 55 series is
the products' suitability for the lubrication of bearings and guides – extraction systems
operating under extreme temperatures. A low evaporation rate Food-processing and pharmaceutical industries
enables longest grease lives and hence longest relubrication
intervals. All BARRIERTA L 55 greases are registered as NSF-H1 and are
therefore in compliance with FDA 21 CFR § 178.3570.
Typical applications include:
The additional certification according to ISO 21469 supports the
compliance with the hygienic requirements in your production
