    CRC Aeroclean degreaser: safer non-flammable use on live plant for mine maintainers

    CRC Aeroclean degreaser: safer non-flammable use on live plant for mine maintainers

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    CRC Aeroclean industrial degreaser is now available in a non-flammable formulation, retaining its fast-acting performance on grease, oil and grime while reducing ignition risk around live electrical equipment and hot plant. The solvent blend is designed for use on motors, switchgear and other safety-critical assets where traditional flammable aerosols are restricted, supporting lock-out/tag-out and hot-work controls. Maintenance teams can clean heavily soiled components in situ, cutting the need for full disassembly and reducing downtime on conveyors, crushers and processing lines.

    Technical Brief

    • Non-flammable CRC Aeroclean allows cleaning in areas where flammable aerosols are banned by site rules.
    • Formulation is targeted at live electrical assets such as motors, MCCs, switchgear and control panels.
    • Product supports safer pre-maintenance cleaning before lock-out/tag-out and isolation are applied.
    • Reduced ignition potential lowers risk during hot surfaces, nearby welding, cutting and other hot-work tasks.
    • In situ cleaning reduces need to move contaminated components through plant, limiting handling and drop hazards.
    • Lower fire load from non-flammable aerosols can assist compliance with site hazardous area classifications.
    • Degreasing capability on heavy hydrocarbon build-up supports visual inspection of cracks, leaks and loose fasteners.
    • Similar non-flammable chemistries are likely to be adopted in confined spaces and underground headings.

    Our Take

    Safety-tagged product pieces in our database often sit alongside ESG and approvals coverage, suggesting that CRC Aeroclean’s safer degreaser will be assessed by Australian operators not just on performance but on how it supports site-wide ESG reporting and compliance.

    With Australian Mining also highlighting ESG technology reshaping mine operations (1 June 2026 item), chemical products marketed as ‘safer’ are likely to gain traction where they can be integrated into digital tracking of hazardous substances and worker exposure on Australian sites.

    McEwen’s $55M Ontario asset sale: production growth lens for mine planners

    McEwen has agreed to sell its Fuller and Paymaster gold properties in Ontario’s Timmins district to Discovery Mining for $55 million in cash and stock, freeing capital to push a production target of 250,000–300,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year by 2030. The deal covers 210 hectares at Fuller, a 60% stake in the 179-hectare Paymaster property, and associated surface rights, consolidating Paymaster under Discovery’s Dome Mine subsidiary. Proceeds will be reinvested into the Fox Complex (Froome, Stock, Grey Fox), Nevada’s Gold Bar Complex, and Mexico’s El Gallo build, with Stock Mine slated for first ore in Q4 2026 and commercial output in Q1 2027.

    Lithium Triangle extraction hurdles: hydrogeological insights for project teams

    South America’s Lithium Triangle holds about 64 million tonnes of identified lithium resources (43% of the global 150 million tonnes), yet geologist José Cabello’s review of 43 salt flats across Argentina, Bolivia and Chile shows that variable brine chemistry, impurities and groundwater behaviour make recovery and costs highly site-specific. Salar de Atacama benefits from ultra‑dry climate, relatively clean brines and strong logistics, while other basins such as Altoandinos, Pedernales, Hombre Muerto Oeste, Rincón, Sal de los Ángeles and Sal de Vida face tighter water and hydrogeological constraints. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) could unlock lower‑grade or impurity‑rich brines, but Cabello stresses that trade‑offs between brine withdrawal and freshwater consumption mean technology selection must be tailored to each basin’s hydrology and ecosystem.

    KGHM’s $2.4bn copper projects fast-tracked: CRMA implications for mine planners

    EU regulators have granted strategic status under the Critical Raw Materials Act to KGHM’s 9.5‑billion‑zloty ($2.44bn) Retków‑Grodziszcze mine and Legnica smelter conversion, unlocking faster permitting, streamlined administration and access to preferential financing. Retków‑Grodziszcze is planned to deliver over 100 million tonnes of ore by 2055, yielding about 1.5 million tonnes of copper and 5,000 tonnes of silver, while Legnica’s recycling line targets 135,000 tonnes of electrolytic copper and 250 tonnes of nickel per year. The move materially boosts EU copper and nickel recycling capacity, central to the CRMA’s 25% recycling target.
