A new NSF food-grade bio-degreaser has been released by CRC Industries which expands its Greenlight Food Safety Program range.

CRC's A1-rated bio-degreaser is an extra heavy-duty cleaner scientifically formulated for use in food processing applications to penetrate and dissolve grease, oil and contaminants easily and safely.

“At CRC we understand the food industry, whether growing, producing, processing or packaging, requires the most stringent conformity of compliance,” CRC Industries Australia managing director Shona Fitzgerald said.

Biodegradable, non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable, pH balanced and water soluble, the CRC bio-degreaser is also non-abrasive, non-corrosive and solvent-free.

The product can be used on all metals and alloys including aluminium and brass and is safe for use on fibreglass, glass, plastics, rubber, painted surfaces and laminates.

“It can be used to quickly and effectively clean mechanical equipment motors, tools, benches, walls, floors, filters, grills, drills, grinders, rollers, dies, moulds (injection, plastic, steel, aluminium), chains, conveyers, wire rope, robotics, hoists and more,” Fitzgerald said

CRC Food Grade Bio Degreaser is available in 5L and 20L bulk containers as well as a 750mL trigger pack.

The AFGC has welcomed government progress towards implementing clear, integrated and consistent changes to packaging across Australia, but says greater clarity is needed on design standards.

It’s been a tumultuous yet progressive year in packaging in Australia, with highs and lows playing out against a backdrop of uncertainty caused in part by the dangling sword of DCCEEW’s proposed Packaging Reform, and in part by the mounting pressure of rising manufacturing costs.
