Product catalog summary
Introduction
BECHEM collaborates with the fitting industry to develop special valve lubricants through intensive research and experience. This partnership aims to meet technical, chemical, and constructive criteria, ensuring the selection of suitable lubricants for specific needs.
Hygienic Evaluation Guidelines
The guidelines for sanitary lubricants in contact with drinking water include a positive list of raw materials, compulsory test procedures, and permitted test values. These align with the European Acceptability System for materials in contact with drinking water.
Approvals and Standards
  • ACS: French approval for drinking water.
  • NSF Standard 61: Accredited in Europe and Germany for health and environmental standards.
  • WRAS (WRC): UK-based analysis for microbiological quality.
  • BAM: Analyzes lubricants for oxygen valves and determines maximum service temperature.
  • DVGW: Provides technical regulations for gas and water safety in Germany.
  • DIN-DVGW Test Symbol: Required for lubricants used in gas appliances and valves.
Technical Data
The document lists various BECHEM products with specifications such as thickener/base oil, NLGI grade, and service temperature range. These products are designed for applications like valve tops, shower heads, thermostats, and more.
Product Criteria
  • Physiological-Microbiological: No medium for microorganisms, no effect on smell, taste, or foam formation, and free of toxic effects.
  • Chemical-Physical: Prevents migration of components, compatible with elastomers, and prevents corrosion and erosion.
  • Mechanic-Dynamic: Reduces frictional resistance, maintains function, and provides emergency sealing.
Company Overview
BECHEM, established in 1834, is a global player in special lubricants, industrial lubricants, metal working fluids, and forming technology. The company is committed to high-quality products and international standards, with certifications like ISO/TS 16949.
Product Categories
  • Special Lubricants: Includes low/high temperature lubricants, plastic lubrication, and food-grade lubricants.
  • Industrial Lubricants: Features high-performance greases, hydraulic oils, and gear lubricants.
  • Metal Working: Offers deep drawing oils, coolant lubricants, and corrosion protection oils.
  • Forming Technology: Provides wire drawing lubricants and cold forging oils.
