Aviation Applications: Meeting Industry Standards with Sustainable Industrial Liquids

Aviation industrial liquids must meet strict standards for every maintenance operation. Aviation maintenance demands precision. The wrong product corrodes components, voids warranties, or fails regulatory audits. The right product cleans effectively while protecting airframes, engines, and sensitive avionics.

At Envirosafe Solutions, we supply these products designed for hangars, line maintenance, and overhaul facilities. Here’s what operations need to know.

Aviation Industrial Liquids and Industry Standards

Aviation industrial liquids must meet strict standards. Regulators — CASA in Australia, FAA in the United States, EASA in Europe — set requirements for chemicals used near aircraft. These standards cover:

  • Material compatibility (aluminium, titanium, composites)
  • Residue profiles (no film left that attracts debris)
  • Flash points and fire safety
  • Environmental discharge limits

Using non-compliant products risks regulatory action, insurance voidance, and airworthiness certificates. Therefore, choosing rated aviation industrial liquids is not optional — it is mandatory.

Why Specialised Formulations Matter

A degreaser that works on a mining truck may attack aluminium airframe alloys. Similarly, a general-purpose cleaner can leave conductive residue on avionics. Because of this, aviation industrial liquids require specialised chemistry for each application.

Furthermore, these products must balance effectiveness with safety. For instance, aggressive solvents might clean well but damage composite materials or harm technician health. Consequently, matching the product to the specific task is critical for both performance and compliance.

Common Applications for Aviation Maintenance Fluids

Our aviation industrial liquids serve multiple maintenance functions:

  • Degreasing: Engine components, landing gear, hydraulic systems
  • Surface cleaning: Fuselage prep before inspection or repainting
  • Avionics cleaning: Sensitive electronic components without residue
  • Cabin and interior treatment: Cleaning and deodorising passenger and crew areas

Each application demands different chemistry. However, all must meet the same strict standards for aircraft safety.

Container Sizes for Maintenance Operations

Aviation maintenance facilities range from small regional operators to major overhaul bases. Therefore, we supply these products in multiple volumes:

  • 20-litre drums for small maintenance shops
  • 205-litre drums for line maintenance stations
  • 1000-litre IBCs for major overhaul facilities

Start with a 20-litre trial to verify compatibility with your specific aircraft types and processes. Additionally, scale up once confirmed.

Understanding Safety Ratings for Sustainable Industrial Liquids

When you buy sustainable industrial liquids, the label tells you what the product does. But the safety ratings tell you how it affects your people, your site, and your compliance position.

At Envirosafe Solutions, every product carries independent ratings. Here’s what they mean and why they matter.


What the Safety Ratings Measure

Our products are rated across three categories:

  • Health: How safe is the product for workers handling it daily?
  • Environment: What happens if it enters soil, water, or air?
  • Transport/Storage: How hazardous is the product to ship and store?

These ratings are independent assessments, not marketing claims. They give you objective data for your OH&S records and environmental reporting.

Health Ratings Explained

Health ratings reflect direct exposure risk:

  • Skin contact
  • Inhalation
  • Eye contact
  • Ingestion

A higher health rating means lower risk. Our sustainable industrial liquids are formulated to minimise worker exposure without compromising performance. This reduces PPE requirements, training burden, and incident risk.

Environment Ratings Explained

Environmental ratings measure:

  • Biodegradability
  • Aquatic toxicity
  • Soil impact
  • Air quality effects

If your operation discharges to septic systems, waterways, or sensitive environments, this rating determines your compliance exposure. Many of our products carry septic safe ratings specifically for this reason.

Transport and Storage Ratings

These ratings affect:

  • Shipping costs (hazardous goods surcharges)
  • Storage requirements (segregation, ventilation, bunding)
  • Insurance premiums
  • Emergency response planning

Lower transport/storage safety ratings mean simpler logistics and lower overhead.

How to Use Safety Ratings

When comparing sustainable industrial liquids, don’t just look at price. Check the ratings:

  • A cheaper product with poor health ratings costs more in PPE and training
  • A product with high environmental ratings may reduce your compliance burden
  • Transport ratings directly affect your freight costs

Request the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for any product you’re considering. Review it with your OH&S officer before ordering. Browse our product range to see available sustainable industrial liquids and their safety ratings.

Why Independent Safety Ratings Matter

Manufacturer claims are marketing. Independent safety ratings are verification. At Envirosafe, we subject our sustainable industrial liquids to third-party assessment because your compliance and safety depend on objective data, not promises.

How to Choose Sustainable Industrial Liquids for Your Operation

Choosing the right sustainable industrial liquids for your operation isn’t just about picking a product off the shelf. The wrong choice wastes money, risks safety, and can damage equipment. The right choice improves efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and keeps your team safe.

At Envirosafe Solutions, we supply a range of sustainable industrial liquids — from degreasers and corrosion inhibitors to dust suppressants and specialised cleaning solutions. Here’s how to choose the right one for your needs.


Assess Your Application

Start with the problem, not the product. What are you trying to achieve?

  • Remove grease and oil from machinery?
  • Prevent corrosion on metal surfaces?
  • Suppress dust on haul roads or construction sites?
  • Clean aviation components to industry standards?
  • Sanitise food processing equipment?

Bio-Derived Polymers: The Benefits in Mine Site Dust Control

Bio-Derived Polymers for Mine Dust Control: Best Practices

Effective dust management is critical for modern mining operations. For many years, companies relied on synthetic binders or basic water applications. However, as health and safety protocols evolve, the industry is shifting toward more sustainable solutions. Bio-derived polymers are now leading this transition, offering a superior way to stabilize surfaces while protecting the environment.

Understanding Bio-Derived Polymers for Dust Control

Unlike synthetic binders, which often contain toxic petroleum compounds, these materials use natural, renewable byproducts like lignosulfonates. They act as organic adhesives that bind fine dust particles into a cohesive, durable surface. This matrix withstands heavy haulage traffic effectively. You can review the technical standards for dust control in the Safe Work Australia dust hazard guide. Because bio-derived polymers are derived from plant sugars and wood lignins, they integrate safely into the local soil chemistry.

Operational Advantages of Bio-Derived Polymers

Transitioning to a more natural approach offers three primary operational advantages for your site:

  • Long-Term Durability: Synthetic binders often become brittle under extreme heat. In contrast, bio-derived polymers maintain molecular flexibility, which reduces the frequency of road maintenance.
  • Safety and Non-Toxicity: Traditional chemical binders often threaten local water tables. Alternatively, these natural products ensure a safer work environment for your team.
  • Sustainability: Recycled, bio-based byproducts lower your site’s environmental impact while helping you meet strict ESG targets by reducing the carbon footprint of water hauling.

The Science Behind Surface Stabilization

Dust control relies on strong particle-to-particle bonds. By applying a high-performance sustainable dust suppressant, you fill the microscopic voids between soil particles. The product cures and creates a hardened surface matrix. This prevents dangerous “fines” from becoming airborne and stops the structural degradation of the road base. Unlike water, which evaporates, bio-derived polymers remain in the surface to provide lasting protection.

Addressing Common Myths

Many site managers hesitate to switch from water, fearing that the technology is difficult to manage. First, some believe that bio-derived polymers require specialized, expensive machinery. In reality, modern solutions are designed for standard water cart deployment. Second, there is a myth that they are ineffective in high-traffic areas. However, the high bonding strength creates a surface that performs better under the compaction of heavy haul trucks than loose, unsealed dirt.

Best Practices for Application

Achieving maximum durability requires following specific site protocols. First, ensure the road surface is properly graded and free of loose debris before the initial application. Second, apply the solution at the recommended moisture content to ensure deep penetration into the soil matrix. Additionally, monitor traffic flow immediately after application to allow the surface time to cure fully. These small adjustments lead to significantly longer road life and reduced dust events. These products thrive when these simple application guidelines are followed.

The Financial ROI of Dust Management

Specialized binders may appear more expensive than water initially. However, the operational ROI is undeniable. Stabilized roads reduce water truck fuel consumption and minimize equipment wear. Furthermore, you will spend less time grading the roads. Adopting better technology requires no overhaul of your existing processes. Our formula works perfectly with your current equipment. Finally, please consult our Dust Suppressant Training document to learn the best application ratios for your specific site conditions.

Environmental Stewardship in Mining

As modern mining continues to evolve, the pressure to maintain a “social license to operate” is higher than ever. By utilizing bio-derived polymers, your operation demonstrates a commitment to sustainable resource management. This is not just about keeping the air clean; it is about preserving the surrounding vegetation, protecting local groundwater, and ensuring the health of everyone who works on the site. Taking these steps is an essential component of a forward-thinking ESG strategy.

Advanced Techniques for Bio-Derived Polymers

Beyond standard road dust suppression, bio-derived polymers can be utilized for tailings dam stabilization and stockpile management. By applying a concentrated layer, site managers can mitigate wind erosion over large areas without disturbing the site structure. This versatility makes them an invaluable asset for site-wide environmental management. Furthermore, the longevity of these treatments means fewer re-applications are needed during peak windy seasons.

Future-Proofing Your Haul Roads

Investing in the integrity of your haul roads is an investment in the efficiency of your entire site. When you reduce dust, you increase visibility and safety for all drivers. Moreover, you decrease the maintenance burden on your mechanical teams. As regulations tighten, being proactive with your choice of bio-derived polymers will keep your operations compliant and ahead of the curve. Consistency is key to long-term success.


Effective Mine Site Dust Management.

Mine Site Dust Management: Effective Strategies to Stop Dust

Achieving effective mine site dust management is more than just a site requirement; it is a critical operational necessity. Uncontrolled dust on a mine site creates significant operational liabilities, from health and safety risks like respirable silica exposure to excessive water consumption and costly equipment maintenance.

In many operations, the default response to dust is simple: “just add more water.” However, relying solely on water-truck cycles for mine site dust management is often inefficient, unsustainable, and ineffective in the long term.

The Problem with “Water-Only” Dust Control

While water is the most accessible tool for dust suppression, it has inherent limitations when used in isolation. Poorly managed dust can lead to severe health risks, and failing to mitigate it properly often results in non-compliance with state-mandated dust control requirements.

  • Short-Term Efficacy: Water evaporates rapidly, especially in hot or windy conditions, requiring constant, resource-heavy reapplication.
  • Environmental Impact: Excessive water usage strains local resources and can lead to over-wetting, which damages road integrity and creates hazardous, muddy conditions.
  • Operational Costs: Keeping a fleet of water carts running 24/7 consumes vast amounts of fuel, labor, and maintenance budget.

A Modern Approach to Mine Site Dust Management

Effective mine site dust management requires moving away from reactive “symptomatic” control and toward a proactive, preventative strategy.

Achieving Mine Site Dust Management through Stabilization

The most significant leap in efficiency comes from transitioning from simple water spraying to surface stabilization. By using high-performance Sustainable Dust Suppressant, you can bind fine particles together at the source. This creates a durable, sealed surface that resists traffic wear and requires far less water to maintain.

Targeted Application

Not all areas of a mine site are the same. A smart management plan categorizes high-traffic haul roads, ROM pads, and auxiliary areas. Effective mine site dust management requires tailored strategies for each.

  • High-Traffic Zones: Benefit most from long-term binders that harden the road surface.
  • Crushing and Transfer Points: Benefit from optimized misting systems or surfactants that “activate” water to make it more effective.

Monitoring and Data

You cannot manage what you do not measure. Implementing real-time dust monitoring systems allows your team to react to spikes in particulate matter before they become safety or regulatory issues. This moves your team from a schedule-based watering routine to a needs-based, data-driven mine site dust management operation.

The Operational ROI

When you implement an integrated strategy, the benefits are clear. By prioritizing mine site dust management at an operational level, you convert a recurring expense into a long-term asset.

  • Reduced Resource Consumption: Lower water usage translates directly into fuel and labor savings.
  • Improved Safety: Better visibility on haul roads and reduced airborne contaminants create a safer environment for your workforce.
  • Enhanced Compliance: Modern, bio-derived solutions help you meet increasingly stringent ESG targets.

Ready to Elevate Your Dust Management?

The transition to a more efficient, sustainable dust management program starts with the right products and the right plan. Our Sustainable Dust Suppressant is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing operations, helping you achieve more with less water. You can also consult our Dust Suppressant Training for technical details on application and use.

Top emitters to bear brunt of Carbon Tax

The federal Climate Change Minister has hinted that the top fifty emissions-intensive companies in Australia will pay the majority of the government’s proposed carbon tax.

In a speech to the National Press Club on April 13, Greg Combet suggested that roughly two thirds of the carbon tax revenue would come from the fifty biggest emitters in Australia, such as electricity generators, miners, metal producers and airlines.

“When you exclude sectors that will not be covered by the carbon price, the 50 largest polluters will be responsible for around two-thirds of carbon liabilities,” Mr Combet said.

Yet Mr. Combet was quick to reiterate that the government will be providing substantial assistance to big emitters in trade exposed industries.

The speech comes as the government tries to ease fears of rising household bills and demonstrate that big business will be shouldering the majority of the carbon tax burden, rather than Australian families.

As the federal government works feverishly to sell its carbon tax, independent MP Tony Windsor – whose vote will be crucial to pass the legislation in the minority parliament – has warned that he may not support the proposal if the government cannot provide more details on the tax.

That Bloomin’ Algae.

We’ve all seen it. We’ve all experienced it. It’s a Sunday and we’ve planned a family picnic by the river. Maybe the Swan. Maybe the Canning. We have the picnic basket packed and the esky filled with fruit juice and crushed ice for the kids. It’s sunny. And those hot desert winds are whipping the west. It’s summer. Sky blue. U2’s on the car stereo and it’s a beautiful day…. We have it planned. We’ll go to the usual place. We can read the papers and lounge on a blanket while the kids have a good run and swim. Later, we might even throw in a meat line for yabbies.

It’s the archetypal Australian scene.

And it’s under threat.

In February 2011, scientists from the University of Western Australia discovered two algal nurseries in the Swan and Canning Rivers. The Canning River incubation site was found near the Kent Street Weir while the Swan River site was found a stone’s throw from Guildford. The team, led by Professor Jorg Imberger from the WA Centre for Water Research has made it clear the Swan and Canning River “systems are on a knife-edge and funds are urgently needed to keep the research project going.”[1]

Algal bloom is a constant challenge to our country’s waterways. It is also detrimental to human health and contact with either a toxic or non-toxic species may cause a number of human health problems including:

  • skin rashes
  • eye irritation and redness
  • ear aches
  • itchiness
  • swollen lips
  • hay fever symptoms
  • asthma
  • possible skin tumours
  • gastroenteritis[2]

Of course it is nutrients, (primarily phosphorus and nitrogen) that foster the blooms, so reduction of these is essential if appropriate management of our waterways is to continue. The main means of reducing nutrient load in water are: avoiding the excessive use of fertilisers and manures on agricultural land, protecting soil from erosion and using products with lowered phosphate content.[3]

Evirosafe Solutions understands the need for such measures, and has implemented its own range of reduced phosphate laundry products in an effort to keep our waterways clean. It takes a proactive stance on protecting the waterways of its local region, and is also able to ensure that its Extreme Green laundry range will not “adversely affect the workings of the sewage treatment plant, biomass or septic system.”[4]

You can contribute to your local waterways’ health and ongoing beauty by using environmentally responsible products such as those manufactured by Envirosafe Solutions. Phone them now on 1300 88 90 70.

Malevolent Mould

It’s a fact!

Did you know airborne mould found outdoors poses little threat to human health? But source that same mould indoors in our building and internal environments, and you have a recipe for disaster. Indoor mould may have radically altered composition, and the implications for humans are alarming.[1] Respiratory problems, increased risk of asthma, skin irritations, disrupted concentration, headaches and fatigue are all symptoms of indoor mould exposure. Envirosafe Solutions understands the problem of internal-environment mould, and has developed Extreme Green GelClean Sanitiser to help combat this malevolent little fungus.

In the 2007 SBS television series “Is your House Killing You,” Dr. Peter Dingle from The School of Environmental Science at Murdoch University in WA, and Dr. Cedric Cheong, also from Murdoch University, took us through the hazards of mould infestations in homes, outlining their unsightliness, effect on the health of householders, and in particular the respiratory problems faced by younger members of a suburban family.[2]

So what can we do to address this common problem?

Successful treatment of a mould infestation requires a substance that not only eradicates mould and mildew but also restores the infected environment to a pre-mould pristine condition, free of spores and the potential to reproduce again. Extreme Green GelClean Sanitiser contains absolutely no petro-solvents or harsh acids and its viscous, super-concentrated composition means it is extremely economical to use, reducing down the drain wastage found in more fluid mould cleaning agents. In addition, it is free-rinsing and non-toxic which means it is safe to use around family and/or employees.

With a 6-12 month shelf life when stored appropriately in a cool, dry area Envirosafe Solutions’ Extreme Green GelClean Sanitiser is one of the most suitable and effective mould, mildew and residue removers on the market in Australia. And it can also be used on masonry and stone and general household or industrial areas. A dilution ratio of 1:25 will suffice and a simple broom/brush or mop and pressure washer application means it is not only effective but also extremely simple to apply and remove. Just leave for several minutes after application and then wash down.[3] Extreme Green GelClean Sanitiser will eradicate mould, mildew and grime in bathroom, toilet and refuse areas, restoring these environments to a mould-free state for your family or employees.

To purchase or enquire about Envirosafe Solutions’ Extreme Green GelClean Sanitiser, phone our sales team on 1300 88 90 70.

Garnaut pushes agricultural soil sequestration

Professor Ross Garnaut, climate change adviser to Julia Gillard, has suggested that soil carbon sequestration should be included in the government’s overall emissions reduction program.

When he delivers his final paper on climate change next month, Professor Garnaut will push the government to use funds raised by the carbon tax to further research into soil sequestration techniques.

Soil carbon sequestration is a method of reducing the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere. Sustainable farming techniques can significantly boost the level of microbes in soil, which increases the soil’s capacity to capture and store carbon in a stable state.

While the technology has not been widely explored in Australia, Professor Garnaut believes that soil sequestration could become a major factor in reducing emissions in Australia. In previous reports, Professor Garnaut has suggested that 14% of total carbon offsets could come from soil sequestration.

A soil sequestration regime could be both a significant force in emissions reduction and a profitable enterprise for Australian agriculture. Under Professor Garnaut’s proposed model, farmers who sequester carbon could then sell carbon credits in the planned emissions trading scheme.

Eco-Education and Biodiversity – Implications for WA Industry and Business.

In early 2011 Western Australia’s Chief Scientist, Professor Lyn Beazley stated “the only way to change how our culture thinks and acts on conserving biodiversity is through eco-education.”[1] Education and consequent alteration to our industry, business and home practices is vital if we are to survive as a planet in the coming centuries.

So, what can industry do to be a part of this change?

At Envirosafe Solutions, the issue of Eco-Education is taken extremely seriously. And, as a result, it has positioned itself as an industry leader in relation to environmentally safe and sound practices, with a twofold rationale.  Envirosafe Solutions is not only committing to an active and strategic response to the current global environmental crisis, (which management regards as both a moral and ethical duty,) but it also exemplifies a “lead by example” model that has the capacity to influence other companies, clients and industries to follow a similar line. Its strategies and approaches to environmental issues therefore have an educational role and component – one that “brushes off” on other businesses and industries and in turn acts as a catalyst and motivator for ongoing green culture evolution in the Australian business and industry sector.

The West Australian Government’s Department of Environment and Conservation has recently set up the Eco-Education program with an aim to foster appreciation for the natural environment.” [2] While this program primarily targets school-aged children of primary and high school age, it also emphasises in the field experience and excursions/programs for students and their teachers. And the implications for future industry and business practice are huge. “The programs are designed to generate interest in and action for biodiversity conservation, sustainable living and practical ways to act on conservation issues,”[3] which  in turn, translates to a more biodiversity- aware adult working population in Western Australia in years to come.

As Professor Beazley noted as the Mid West Science Summit in Geraldton in 2010, “…it is important we continue raising awareness of the importance of bio-diversity for human well-being.”[4] Maintaining our biodiversity is key to our ongoing survival, and this is particularly relevant to West Australian business and industry because of the state’s reputation worldwide as a biodiversity hotspot. “Rich biodiversity environments are also important for economic wellbeing, with industries such as tourism and fishing and pearling among them,[5] ” Professor Beazley concluded.

Our future depends upon eco-education programs and approaches such as those developed by the West Australian government, and by companies such as Envirosafe Solutions, respectively. Across the board multi-generational education and influence is undoubtedly the way forward, particularly in Australia, where our reputation as a biodiversity hotspot has implications for the economic, industry and health standards of the population.

When you use Envirosafe Solutions range of Extreme Green products, you can be assured you are using products that augur well for the future biodiversity of Australia and our planet. Call Envirosafe Solutions on 1300 88 90 70

Why to Avoid Alcohol-Based Sanitisers

These days we all seem to be raging germaphobes. Everyone is a bit paranoid in the wake of SARS, bird flu, swine flue and all the other nasty bugs getting around. Hand sanitisers have begun popping up left right and centre. You’ll find foam dispensers in schools, offices, kitchens – everywhere. More and more people are carrying those little bottles of sanitising gel.

The attraction of these products is obvious. They are instant, no-fuss germ killers, and don’t even need to be rinsed off with water. Who wouldn’t take advantage of such convenience? There is one serious problem with hand sanitisers, however. Most of them are alcohol-based and potentially very dangerous if used improperly.

While the ethanol and propanol in hand sanitisers are very effective at killing bacteria, they pose all the same risks as any other alcoholic product. Many sanitisers contain upwards of 60% alcohol, and some contain as much as 90%.[1] These products are comparable in strength to kerosene and methylated spirits – controlled substances which are sold in childproof bottles with big ‘POISON’ labels on them. That’s a connection that may be lost on some people: alcohol-based hand sanitisers are a poison like any other.

You wouldn’t let your kids get into the liquor cabinet, and you definitely wouldn’t let them near a bottle of metho. Unfortunately, leaving alcohol-based sanitisers lying around can be just as dangerous. There is a high risk of alcohol poisoning from accidental ingestion – and we all know kids love sticking strange things in their mouths. Even sucking thumbs and biting fingernails is risky business if those hands are exposed to alcoholic sanitisers.

Alcohol also poses a serious risk of eye damage.[2] If you’ve ever accidentally rubbed your eyes with fresh sanitiser on your hands, you’ll know that it’s not a pleasant experience. In larger quantities your eyes will suffer more than just irritation. Children are particularly susceptible to this type of mishap.

Pretty grim stuff, but there is some good news. Very good news, in fact: Alcohol-based sanitisers are completely unnecessary. The same antibacterial power can be found in various organic biocides, such as benzalkonium chloride. These agents are lethal to bacteria and completely safe for humans. Studies have even suggested that non-alcoholic sanitisers are more effective at killing germs and viruses than their traditional ethanol and propanol-based counterparts.[3]

So there really is no sense at all in continuing to use poisonous alcoholic sanitisers. Envirosafe Solutions has an alcohol-free alternative that will keep you and your loved ones safe and germ-free. Do your family a favour and make the switch today. Call them on 1300 88 90 70

Update on Carbon

The ice is melting.  Polar caps are shrinking, and sea levels rise incrementally year by year. Our beloved Happy Feet fellows – the large Antarctic penguin colonies – are under threat, with researchers predicting nesting and feeding grounds virtually non-existent within a few generations.[1]

The evidence is there – our world is warming – and yet debate continues to rage within the scientific community in relation to reasons, scientific evidence and most importantly, sound, solutions based approaches to this pressing issue.

While Prime Minister Gillard firmly espouses the pressing needs for a climate tax in order to reduce greenhouse emissions, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott maintains the Liberal Party stance with a point-blank refusal to succumb, citing the effect on Australian Industry would be too gutting. Independent MP Tony Windsor believes first phase of the solution lies in a more eclectic approach involving full discussion of all options, with a combination of carbon tax and investment in renewable energies paving the way for the stimulation growth of a new green and renewable industries sector in Australia. [2]

Dr. Megan Clark, CEO of Australia’s National Science agency, the CSIRO, follows an even more holistic line with the Integrated Carbon Pathways model, launched at Greenhouse 2011 recently (4th April 2011.) As well as providing integrated assessment frameworks and models, Integrated Carbon Pathways will also see a range of projects focused on developing a deeper understanding of particular science areas such as climate systems, carbon cycles, water and heat exchanges, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems, to name but a few.[3]

Bjorn Lomberg,[4] adjunct Professor at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark and Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre maintains the real solution must be found in the development of new and exciting breakthrough technologies in the next twenty to forty years. And whether one agrees with Lomberg or not, cutting edge approaches certainly seem viable as a component part of the solution.

Envirosafe Solutions is one such company working with the environment and its current challenges, as opposed to against. Standing at the forefront of cutting edge approaches to industry in the green era, Envirosafe Solutions produces sustainable, green products that are eco-friendly, thereby increasing your own business reputation, and tangibly reducing your environmental impact in real and meaningful ways. It is an approach that may well already accord with an integrated pathways model, which seeks to develop a holistic and viable approach to the pressing environmental issues facing Australia and the planet.

Making a Difference: Green Advertising to Green Action

Catch phrases like going green and eco-friendly and sustainability are bandied about in the commercial and retail sectors with increasing regularity. But how do we really make a difference and how do we really convert advertising rhetoric into tried and true and consolidated green action?  How can we distinguish between those companies that are simply maintaining a “green stance” because it is good for business, and those that actually produce products that are in fact environmentally sound and responsible?

Most of us, as consumers, are increasingly concerned about the plight of our environment, the need for change in domestic and industry practices and most importantly, the legacy we leave to future generations. At Envirosafe Solutions, these considerations are not simply peripheral concerns, but stand at the heart of modern and up to date business and industry practices and ethics – truly aligned with environmentally sound approaches.

In 2009, the Australian consumer watchdog, CHOICE, began a campaign aimed at:

  • Providing consumers with information to confidently make greener decisions.
  • Identifying and investigating vague, confusing, false, or misleading green claims.
  • Lobbying government and business to improve the standard of green claims.[1]

In view of this, we move into a realm where advertising must transform into true action.

As environmental issues take centre stage, the switch away from toxic to lower impact products – whilst maintaining standard and effectiveness, is assumed and expected. It’s also regarded as essential to industry best practice. At Envirosafe Solutions, products such as Sure Dip-Rust Remover use new organic acid technology to safely remove and draw all rust and corrosion off metal surfaces. Instead of an outmoded use of mineral based additives, Envirosafe Solutions has developed this product using safer, organic acids which are water-based and therefore fully biodegradable. This in turn cuts disposal costs, increases disposal efficiency and is far less harmful to our waterways and groundwater systems.

When seeking out and sourcing environmentally-friendly products, be sure to do your homework.  Also, check the Envirosafe Solutions range of products with the ‘Envirosafe Rating’ – derived from the standard Worksafe Australia MSDS. This particular system of grading is designed to assist with the purchase of the right product, with ratings for OHS, Environment, and Transport and Shipping – primary issues for all commercial and domestic buyers.  With Envirosafe Solutions, you can be assured of quality products that are cost effective and part of a real green action plan.  Call Envirosafe Solutions on 1300 88 90 70.

Water-Wise in the 21st Century.

More than ever, we live in an era of increasing social, cultural, legislative and political demands in relation to the wise use of water. Our continent is a dry one; it always has been and always will be. And with increasing concerns about water management and availability, it’s clear we need to activate appropriate measures and responses to what is not only a national but a global problem.

Overview of diversified urban water supply options.

© Water Research Foundation, USA – source: Manual for Adopting Integrated Urban Water Management for Planning.

Across Australia, in households and businesses and industry, the expectation is clear. We expect ourselves and each other to treat water as a natural and limited resource, as nature’s gift, requiring our respect, care and active concern. Without doubt, the socio-cultural perspective on water has shifted permanently, and where once it was acceptable to trickle any old liquid down our drains, today we remain clear in our view that living with water-wise awareness is the Australian way to go.

In a recent 2006 National Water Commission report, key findings about water reuse pointed specifically to the need for:

  • Research that is focused on filling knowledge gaps in the areas associated with the longevity and potential impact of contaminant chemicals in water supplies and in technologies that make drinking water and recycled water safer for intended purpose;
  • Reviews of chemical hazards, risks and possible management responses to the use of recycled water and stormwater for potable use (including endocrine disrupting chemicals, pharmaceuticals and complex chemical mixtures); and
  • Social science investigations focused around issues including demand management, acceptability of recycling and technology adoption, and that can be used to build community confidence in the safety of recycled water for a range of purposes.[1]

It is with this information in view, that Envirosafe Solutions has developed quality liquid products that do not contain any mineral acids, phosphates or solvents. Their Extreme Green range of products are non-hazardous, environmentally biodegradable and in keeping with the socio-cultural, industry and legislative demands and requirements of the Australian community.

With Envirosafe Solutions products, you can be assured the liquid products entering our drains are chemically safe and secure and suitable for future recycling. Community confidence is ensured enabling us all to move towards a more water-wise and wealthy Australian future.

Dust Suppression

Dust Suppression remains a constant concern for industry in Australia and vigilance is a necessity.  Given our arid conditions, our national focus on mining and haulage and also agriculture impacted by current climatic changes, the suppression of airborne dust stands as a health issue that is industry specific and also socially and environmentally relevant. Here at Envirosafe Solutions, we have developed and perfected quality dust suppression agents tailored to our Australian conditions and suitable for road base application, agricultural soil-wetting and even fire-fighting/street-sweeping.

Recent focus on dust management in the mining industry in NSW 2010, called for a healthy re-consideration of how we address and manage airborne dust-particles in the second millennium. It was found the implementation of dust-monitoring “could be used to assess the effectiveness of measures used to prevent or minimize dust. A regular review of dust-monitoring data encourages adaptive management and continuous improvement.”[1] Best practice behooves industry to constantly adapt and improve as outlined, and Envirosafe Solutions Extreme Green Soil Wetta/Dust Suppressor does just that.

Suitable for use in various road construction and maintenance tasks and also the mining sector, as well as earth works and soil-wetting in the agriculture sector, Extreme Green Soil Wetta/Dust Suppressor is extremely low-impact, and unlike other acid based dust suppression agents, can be transported in tankers also used to cart household drinking water. With an Envirosafe maximum four-star safety rating, Extreme Green Soil Wetta/Dust Suppressor not only performs the job at optimum standard, but also adheres to current social and cultural expectations and industry standards in relation to green industry and practice. And with 2% of all sales donated to Carbon Neutral – a not-for-profit organisation working tirelessly to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions, you know you are using a quality product produced by a company whose actions speak as loud – if not louder – than their words.[2]

With an indefinite shelf life if stored in cool and dry well-ventilated locations away from sunlight Extreme Green Soil Wetta/Dust Suppressor arrives in quantities suitable to your needs. (4litre –1000litre capacities.)  From small to large amounts, Extreme Green Soil Wetta/Dust Suppressor stands as one of the most cost-effective, long-lasting and environmentally friendly wetting agent/suppressors on the Australian market.

Expert staff at Envirosafe Solutions can assist you with your needs in relation to dust management and suppression. Call 1300 88 90 70 now, for more quality advice and information.

DISHWASHING LIQUIDS

We all know the environmental issues that have arisen because of that common kitchen product called dishwashing liquid. Used numerous times each day in every household across Australia, its effects upon our water supplies and our network of streams and rivers and catchment areas are well documented.(1) At a time when water is in scant supply, it’s more important than ever to consider the products we use and pour down our drains.

While dishwashing liquids keep our kitchen utensils sparkling and free from a build-up of dirt, grease, food particles and grime, they also have the potential to pollute, and can cause extensive over-enrichment of waterways and sources by eutrophication. Too many phosphates result in a nasty flourish of microbes, which in turn disrupts the finely balanced food chain and results in algal blooms and de-oxygenation of water supplies.(2)

Well, that is exactly what happens with standard shelf detergents containing phosphates and other chemicals.

But there is an alternative to this scenario in the form of an eco-friendly phosphate free product – Encvirosafe’s Extreme Green Dishwasher Liquid.

Envirosafe’s Extreme Green Dishwasher Liquid offers the cleanest alternative to standard dishwasher liquids. A highly active machine liquid, it has an indefinite shelf life when stored in cool, dry and well-ventilated locations. This means you can purchase in bulk quantities of up to 1,000litres if you are a commercial concern, or purchase as little as 4 litres if your uses are small scale and domestic. And because it does not contain potentially life threatening chemicals such as Caustic or Chlorine (3), it is gentler on skin and less harmful to householders or employees of large-scale commercial concerns. This translates to a healthier home and healthier workplace environment and workforce, which then spins off into increased profits and company stability.

The benefits of using Envirosafe Extreme Green Dishwasher Liquid speak for themselves. It has a 100% biodegradability ranking and can be used in hard and soft water as well as in septic tanks, so it’s ideal for remote/rural regions and use “off the beaten track.”  Just follow the easy directions. And with an Envirosafe across the board “SAFE” rating, you can be assured it will not only benefit commercial concerns, but do so without compromising the delicate system that is at the heart of a healthy environment.

Extreme Green Rust Remover

There is a vast array of methods for treating corrosion, all of them offering unique benefits and drawbacks. Sandblasting and highly corrosive mineral acids are two common tools for treating corroded metal. These methods attack the rust with brute force and usually produce very good results.

Which is all well and good if you’re just trying to get rust off a car door or some steel piping.

But these methods are often completely unsuitable for delicate equipment. You can’t just violently blast the rust off a tool with lots of fragile moving parts – unless you have money to burn. And repeated exposure to harsh acids can damage intricate metal parts. If you’re dealing with complex equipment, what you need is a gentle, more intelligent method of removing rust.

Rust Remover is the perfect rust removal solution for delicate tools and equipment. Simply immerse your corroded surfaces into a Rust Remover solution, and let our product take care of the rest. Rust will dissolve quickly and completely, leaving you with a shiny new surface that’s ready to be galvanised/painted.

To give you an idea of how gentle Rust Remover is, you can immerse an entire engine block in this solution without removing water hoses, fan belts, generators or starter motors. Rust Remover does not harm glass, rubber or plastic at all. It attacks rust and rust only, and this is what makes our product unique.

Rust Remover is as gentle on the environment as it is on your equipment. We use only biodegradable ingredients which can be safely disposed of. This is in stark contrast to a lot of mineral acid-based rust removers out there. Not only are mineral acids harsh on your equipment, they’re also highly toxic and very dangerous to the people using them. Methylene chloride, hydrofluoric acid and cresylic acid are common ingredients in many corrosion treatments. These chemicals are carcinogenic and known to cause all sorts of other diseases. What’s more, they’re a terrible environmental hazard, polluting soil and water once they’ve been disposed of.

Extreme Green Multi Purpose Lubricant

A good lubricant is an indispensable tool to keep your equipment running quietly and smoothly. Skimp on the lube and you’ll quickly see your maintenance costs spiralling out of control. Not all lubricants are alike, however, and it’s important to understand the differences  in order to be more productive with your time and money.

There’s an enormous range of lubricants on the market, and they vary wildly in quality. Too many lubricants are made of cheap solvents, like kerosene and white spirits. They do the job, but are susceptible to drying out and washing off with water contact. Using these lubricants, you’ll find yourself doing frequent reapplications. This costs you time and money, and what’s the point of buying cheap lube if you’re forever heading back to the shop to get more?

Investing in a water-resistant and long lasting lubricant is a no-brainer. You’ll get better mileage for your money and spend less time on maintenance. Multi Purpose Lubricant is a highly resilient, lubricant that works on all moving parts. It displaces moisture, penetrates rusted parts and inhibits corrosion while keeping your machine purring softly. You can even use this lubricant as a cutting oil in lathe work and other applications where metals are honed.

This product truly is the ideal lubricant for tough Australian conditions. Multi Purpose Lubricant is especially effective in applications where salt is present – ideal for the mining industry and marine equipment. The corrosive power of seawater is too much for most lubricants, and cheap products simply won’t cut it on your outboard motor or seawater pump. An application of Multi Purpose Lubricant is guaranteed to last many times longer than conventional products in wet and salty conditions. Do your boat a favour and use the best lubricant available.

Like all Envirosafe products, Multi Purpose Lubricant is an iron fist inside a velvet glove: powerful, yet gentle at the same time. Unlike many solvent-based lubricants, Multi Purpose Lubricant will not damage plastic, fibreglass, enamel or any other common non-absorbent materials. You won’t get any nasty surprises using this product. Multi Purpose Lubricant does not contain silicone or any toxic chemicals, making it completely safe to use and dispose of.

Don’t fritter your money away on cheap, ineffective lubricants. Insist on an environmentally-responsible product that delivers long lasting results in all conditions. Invest in Multi Purpose Lubricant and your equipment will thank you for it. For more information on the Envirosafe Solutions range of lubricants, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.

Extreme Green Glue Cleaner

In many workplaces, adhesives are the ultimate double-edged sword. Indispensable tools on the one hand, and enormous hassle on the other. Super glue, duct tape, labels, blu-tack . . . where on Earth would we be without these things? It’s just a shame that the usefulness of adhesives is matched by the annoyance involved when it comes time to remove them. How many hours have you spent scrubbing furiously at leftover glue or tape remains?

If the answer is “many”, then you’re no doubt familiar with the vast range of adhesive removal products on the market. There’s an arsenal of cleaning products out there that can reduce your adhesive scrubbing effort.

The problem is that most of these products are full of harsh acids and petro-solvents. They achieve results through brute force. Sure, they’ll strip the adhesives away quick smart. But you’re dealing with nasty toxic chemicals that are a health risk to the operator and a pollution risk to the environment. What’s worse, a bit of leftover glue on your wall, or breathing toxic fumes and then flushing pollutant chemicals down the drain?

Either way, this isn’t a compromise you need to make in your workplace. Extreme Green Glue Cleaner is a far more intelligent approach to adhesive removal. Using only organic, biodegradable ingredients (that’s no petro-solvents, no acids and no alkalis), Extreme Green Glue Cleaner removes adhesives quickly and effectively. It emits no unpleasant odours, poses no health risk to the operator, and washes away safely without risk of environmental damage.

But don’t let the gentle touch fool you. Extreme Green Glue Cleaner gets the job done. The performance of this product is on par with any competitor. This is a rapid-acting cleaner, taking effect in under three minutes. Extreme Green Glue Cleaner is super-versatile, and works on steel, aluminium, glass, concrete, wood and just about any other hard surface you would ever apply adhesives to. Extreme Green Glue Cleaner is a free-rinsing solution – once this product has worked its magic you can simply rinse it all off with water.

Apply Extreme Green Glue Cleaner neat, wait three short minutes, wash it all off. Adhesives removed. Nothing more to it. And if you find the curse of chewing gum stuck to your shoes then this will have it all off in a jiffy.

There’s beauty in simplicity, that’s what we believe at Envirosafe Solutions. You’ll find that the most effective cleaning solution is often the simplest, and what could be simpler than all-natural ingredients?

The Power of Eucalyptus Oil

Our beloved Eucalyptus is an unmistakable Australian icon, and one of this country’s best-known exports. The gumtree is easily recognisable as the home of the Koala and the subject of much Australian folklore. Yet despite its mythological status in Australia, surprisingly few people appreciate the the true power and wide-ranging applications of Eucalyptus. Inside the leaves of these majestic trees lies one of the most potent natural agents found anywhere in the world.

Over the years, Eucalyptus Oil has proven effective in cleaning products, disinfectants and sanitisers – not to mention a wide range of natural medicinal applications. Eucalyptus oil is a perfect example of the natural power that we utilise in our products at Envirosafe Solutions.

Eucalyptus Oil is a natural biocide and antibacterial ingredient.[1] Eucalyptus-based soaps, handwashes, sanitisers and dental care products have gained enormous popularity in recent times, as people increasingly recognise the numerous benefits and lack of harmful side-effects. Natural disinfectant solutions like Eucalyptus mitigate the need to use alcohol or toxic chemical-based products in the workplace.

Eucalytptus Oil is also a known pesticide and insect repellent.[2] A Eucalyptus-based cleaning product will keep your workplace or commercial kitchen clean and healthy, while deterring the creepy crawlies at the same time.

The essential oil of the Eucalyptus leaf is a powerful antibacterial agent, both outside and inside the human body. Most people will be familiar with Eucalyptus cough drops and vapour solutions. Eucalyptus Oil is a common treatment for colds and is known to attack bacteria in the respiratory system.[3] The amazing health potential of Eucalyptus oil has long been recognised in the field of aromatherapy.

This is really an incredible multi-purpose tool, and it grows right in our own backyards. At Envirosafe Solutions we use Eucalyptus Oil in our products to dazzling effect. We believe that we can harness the power of nature to deliver the results that Australian businesses need. And luckily, we’re in a  pretty good place for it. There’s no better place on Earth to take advantage of Eucalyptus Oil’s extraordinary cleaning properties.

This great brown land of ours is abundant in natural goodness, so why not use it? We’re constantly exploring new possibilities with Eucalyptus Oil and other organic cleaning agents, in the firm belief that green products are the future for Australian industry.
