The use of flammable products on industrial worksites can pose a safety risk – particularly around welding or grinding or where ignition sources are present. CRC has developed a range of non-flammable cleaning products, lubricants and solvents specifically for mining and other industries where there may be a greater risk of fire or explosion.
Why use non-flammable versions?
Heavy industries (such as mining and power generation) need superior strength cleaners and lubricants for day-to-day operations in harsh and sometimes extreme conditions. But traditionally, these products are usually highly flammable, and their use comes with potential risks.
The mining industry in particular is shifting towards non-flammable products in all areas of operation. CRC made the decision to develop a range of cleaners and lubricants that would continue to effectively serve industry, while optimising safety.
Products in the CRC non-flammable range
Each product in the new range has been developed as an alternative to its flammable counterpart, using advanced technology and research.
The range includes:
- NF 5.56 multi-purpose lubricant
- NF TAC-2 adhesive lubricant
- NF Brakleen brake and parts cleaner
- NF Heavy Duty Parts Cleaner
- NF Lectra Clean electric motor and equipment cleaner
- NF Lectra Solve cleaner and degreaser
- NF Contact Cleaner extra-strength electronic cleaning solvent
“These non-flammable products have been developed in response to growing industry demand,” says CRC Industries Australia AU Field Sales & Contracts Manager David Bailey. “With these products, there is no flash point, they are safe and effective to use in any work environment, including where flammability is an issue.”
Features and benefits of CRC’s non-flammable range
- High performance – powerful enough to remove oil, grease, dust and grime without leaving any residues.
- Safe – lowering the risk of fire and explosion that comes with flammable lubricants and solvents.
- Versatile – suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces and components.
- Compliant – meet all industry regulations and standards.
Spotlight on multi-purpose non-flammable lubricant
The 5.56 multi-purpose spray-on lubricant is a particularly popular traditional product in CRC’s range. The new non-flammable NF 5.56 is just as powerful – without the risk of ignition. When applied as a lubricant, NF 5.56 reduces friction between moving parts and prevents corrosion, in turn helping to extend the life of machinery. It also displaces water, making it suited to damp environments.The product is more than just a lubricant. It also cleans and prevents corrosion, loosens rusted parts and silences squeaks.
“The product provides superior penetration that makes it one of the most powerful products of its kind on the market today. We think it’s an indispensable multi-purpose product for underground mining operations,” David says.
