Non-toxic corrosion inhibitors

[buck91]

What are the best corrosion inhibitors that are non toxic or even food safe? Right now it looks like other than mineral oil there are some plant based oils out there. I don’t need the best lube just good, storage stable non toxicity.

Any thoughts on some others like Kano microlight or fluid film?

Woolwax I prefer it over fluid film.

Vaseline .

I like this the best, but semi toxic, but holds 100% long term.

Fluid-Film and Woolwax are lanolin based and derived from sheep's wool. They're probably not 100% chemical free as the lanolin is likely solvent processed when stripped from the wool during processing, but probably less toxic overall.

So is Surface Shield

Bought a can of the former and was surprised how bad it stank. I wouldn't be putting it on anything kept inside the house.

Yep. Rancid sheep stank.

Crisco?

Not to be weird but Crisco actually attracts and harbors moisture. I thought of this as well because I thought it repelled moisture but it's some sort of fatty acid thing with the hydrogenation, I think...

Linseed oil

If it ain't got a skull and a dead tree on the label, it's no good

Super Lube Synthetic Multi Purpose Grease is NSF Food rated.

Harbor Freight sells it and Amazon. I think Harbor Freight is a few dollars less.

ON the back of the Harbor Freight is the info on NSF food safe but no photo of it here so check where you purchase but mine has it on the back then again maybe the front. Home Depot on the front.
