Potable Water

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.
Nye Lubricants Inc. has received NSF/ANSI 61
Certification for Potable Water Lubrication for Fluorocarbon
Gel 880FG and 885FG. This certification allows Nye to sell
our products for commercial water treatment and
drinking water in both hot and cold water applications.
This approval verifies that our lubricants meet the
stringent levels set by the NSF, thus ensuring that drinking
water is safe for consumers.
Both Fluorocarbon Gel 880FG and 885FG have received Drinking
Water System Components Certification (NSF/ANSI Standard 61)
