Mobil SHC Cibus™ 32 HT is a fully synthetic, high-performance heat transfer oil for closed, indirect heating installations where an NSF H1-registered lubricant is required. It is formulated to resist thermal cracking and chemical oxidation, translating into longer service life and a lower tendency toward deposit and sludge formation, while its low viscosity provides good fluidity and easier start-up at cold ambient temperatures.
The oil is engineered for good heat transfer properties — specific heat and high thermal conductivity — that support rapid heat dissipation and improved system efficiency, while its low volatility can mean lower consumption. Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT is NSF H1 registered and accepted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, making it suitable where incidental food contact may occur; it is manufactured at ISO 22000-certified facilities also meeting ISO 21469 requirements, is suitable under Kosher (Parve) and Halal dietary law, and is formulated free of nuts, gluten, wheat and animal products. It meets the DIN 51522 heat transfer fluid requirements.
Typical applications include closed heating and cooling systems across food processing operations such as meat, fish and beverage processing, ready-to-eat and convenience foods, and animal food production, with a maximum recommended bulk operating temperature of 280°C.
Applications
Handling and Storage Recommendations It is recommended that Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT as well as other Mobil SHC lubricants should be stored inside and segregated from other non-H1 lubricants. Ideally, it should be stored in a clearly signed, separate, designated inside area. Drums and pails should not be stacked below or above other non-H1 lubricants. New packaging should be free from damage with an unbroken seal. Record the delivery date, batch number and expiration date. Record the date of initial seal breakage and use the contents in time by suitable stock rotation. Close all package openings after use. Do not replace unused oil in the container. Use clearly labeled, dedicated equipment for internal transportation. Label machinery with the name of the correct H1 lubricant where appropriate. While Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT may be physically compatible with other NSF H1 or non-NSF H1 registered mineral oil based heat transfer oils, a mixture may detract from its performance and also from its NSF registration status. Consequently it is recommended that before changing a system to Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT, it should be thoroughly cleaned out and flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits and to comply with NSF H1 registration. Heat Transfer System Applications Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT is recommended for closed heating and cooling systems in a wide range of food processing applications where a NSF H1 registered fluid is required. These include meat, fish and beverage processing, ready-to-eat and convenience foods and animal food production. Further, this fluid is not recommended for use in open systems where hot oil is exposed directly to the air. If it sprays or escapes from leakage points, hot Mobil SHC Cibus 32 HT fluid may spontaneously ignite. In closed systems, maximum

Standards & approvals
Halal
Halal certification
An Islamic certification body's attestation that the product and its manufacture meet halal dietary rules — required in plants producing halal food.
NSF H1
NSF H1 — incidental food contact lubricant
The NSF registration for lubricants that may incidentally touch food during production. The formulation is limited to permitted substances, and the contact stays incidental, not intended.
NSF HT1
NSF HT1 — heat transfer fluid, incidental food contact
The NSF category for heat transfer fluids used in food plants, where incidental contact with the product is possible.
