KLÜBER to Shell Food-Grade (NSF H1) Cross-Reference Table
| KLÜBER Product | Equivalent Product | Compatibility & Notes |
| Klüberfood NH1 94-301 | Shell Gadus S4 FM 2 | Both NSF H1, aluminum complex PAO greases. KLÜBER adds ISO 21469 + Kosher/Halal. |
| Klubersynth UH1 6-100 | Shell Naturelle HF-E 32 | Both NSF H1 synthetic oils. Different viscosity grades. Naturelle uses ester base oil vs UH1 PAO. |
| Klubersynth UH1 14-1600 | Shell Gadus S4 OG 1000 | Different product types (oil vs adhesive fluid). UH1 14-1600 is high-viscosity PAO oil for chain/cable. |
| Klubersynth GH 6-220 | Shell Omala S4 GX 220 | GH 6 is NSF H1? No — GH 6 is not food-grade. For food-grade gear oils, use Klubersynth UH1 6-460 instead. |
| Klubersynth CH 2-100 | Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 | Both NSF H1 hydraulic oils. Verify viscosity requirements and system compatibility. |
| Kluberpaste UH1 96-402 | Shell Gadus S4 FM Paste | Both NSF H1 assembly pastes. Verify specific application temperature and load requirements. |
| Klüberfood NH1 94-6000 | Shell Gadus S4 OG Clear | Both sprayable NSF H1 lubricants. Penetrating film for hard-to-reach food processing mechanisms. |

⚠ Important Disclaimer
This cross-reference is provided for informational purposes only. Equivalent does not mean identical — differences in thickener type, base oil viscosity, additive packages, and NLGI grade can affect performance. Always verify technical compatibility by consulting both manufacturers' datasheets and obtaining OEM approval before substituting lubricants. Contact KOEED for verified KLÜBER product recommendations matched to your specific application requirements.
> Tip
When cross-referencing, always verify: (1) thickener compatibility — mixing incompatible thickeners can cause grease to soften or harden, (2) base oil viscosity at operating temperature, (3) NLGI grade for proper consistency, (4) certification status (NSF H1, ISO 21469) for food-grade applications. If in doubt, contact KOEED for a verified recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Shell have an ISO 21469 certified food-grade lubricant?
Shell Gadus S4 FM products carry NSF H1 registration but ISO 21469 certification status varies by product and manufacturing location. KLÜBER Klüberfood NH1 94-301 is ISO 21469 certified at the point of manufacture, providing verified hygienic manufacturing assurance. If ISO 21469 is a facility requirement, verify the specific Shell product's certification status or use KLÜBER Klüberfood NH1.
Q: Is Klübersynth UH1 food-grade?
Yes — Klübersynth UH1 6 series oils carry NSF H1 registration for incidental food contact. They are PAO-based synthetic oils available in viscosity grades from ISO VG 6 to 1500+. They are widely used in food and beverage processing for hydraulic systems, gearboxes, chains, and general machinery lubrication.
