- Application Information
- Functional V-425 is a thickener and tackifier used in greases and fluid lubricants intended for use in foodprocessing equipment.
- It also controls misting of these lubricants.
- Functional V-425 has been approved by the U.S.D.A. for lubricants with incidental food contact (21 CFR 178.3570). This additive does not degrade at high temperatures, as would a polyisobutylene

- Treatment Level
Typical treatment levels are 0.5-1.0% for mist control or tackiness, or up to 10% for viscosity modification.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Information
- Due to the viscosity of Functional V-425, elevated temperature can be useful and heating to approximately 150°F (65°C) can simplify handling.
- Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil
