FUNCTIONAL V-422 is an additive that confers a tack or stringiness to a lubricant. It is used to provide adherence in fluid lubricants and stringiness in greases. FUNCTIONAL V-422 is approved as a component in FDA/USDA Classification H-1 (21 CFR 178.3570) for lubricants with incidental food contact. For nonfood-grade applications, we recommend FUNCTIONAL V-178 or, where superior thermal and shear stability are needed, FUNCTIONAL V-188.
COMPOSITION:
The active polymeric ingredient in FUNCTIONAL V-422 is an FDA-approved polyisobutylene. The diluent oil is an FDA-approved white mineral oil.
HANDLING:
Due to the viscosity of FUNCTIONAL V-422, elevated temperature (approximately 150°F) can facilitate handling. Temperatures over about 200°F may lead to degradation of tackiness and viscosity. In greases, we recommend adding FUNCTIONAL V-422 last, to minimize shear degradation during milling. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil; see the current Material Safety Data Sheet.
