Are VELOIL FOODPRO lubricants biodegradable?
VELOIL FOODPRO lubricants are not biodegradable but are defined as biostatic which means they will not encourage microorganism growth or activity. Biodegradable oils require water and bio-organisms to function. Water and microorganisms such as yeast are present in a number of food processing operations. Therefore the microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of oils could possibly interfere with the food or beverage making process and cause serious problems.
