OKS launches development program to avoid MOSH/MOAH substances in lubricants


Food packaging consisting of recycled waste paper and cardboard is partly contaminated with mineral oil residues. This has been the result of scientific research. The problem: The residues in the cardboard boxes can already outgas at room temperature and thus pass into the packaged food. In recent time consumer protection organizations have increasingly pointed to this fact, which has long been known. 

Being in focus are on long-chain and flavored petroleum hydrocarbons, abbreviated to MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbon) or MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbon). These substances are particularly easy to absorb from contaminated food in the body and are also suspected of causing damage to health. Due to the complex detection methods, however, there are still no methods of analysis uniformly defined by law for MOSH/MOAH substances and their limit values ​​in foods.

Against this background, OKS has now launched a long-term development program to avoid such substances in lubricants for the food industry. Within the new development program of OKS lubricants for food technology, will be converted to a MOSH/MOAH-free version if they are not already MOSH/MOAH-free. This is where the manufacturer operates, even before the legislature has established appropriate regulations.

OKS products that are free of MOSH/MOAH are indicated in product brochures with a special pictogram..
