Cleaning Chemicals for Mining in Namibia

Engine Cleaner 222 or Greasolve on the heavy grease — sprayed, dwelled and pressure-rinsed — with the waterbase degreaser for aprons and floors where you want no solvent flash and simpler effluent. Mines typically run both: solvent-type for components, water-based for surfaces. 25 L concentrates diluted at the gun are the economical format.

Chemistry choice plus biology. Use quick-break degreasers (our waterbase line) so oil separates rather than emulsifying past the separator, and dose Biodyne 301 to digest the grease load biologically between pump-outs. That combination keeps discharge parameters inside licence conditions and stretches the pump-out interval — both auditable wins.

Grit hand cleaner in the 5 kg workshop packs at every basin — the grit carries the mechanical action that solvent-free cleaning needs, so fitters actually use it instead of washing hands in thinners, which is both a safety and a dermatitis win. Add Bactiwash where the crew eats on site. One monthly line item covers the crew.

They should — wash-bay and workshop lines are the classic add-on to the monthly chemical order. Degreasers, fleet wash, hand cleaner and drain treatment ride the same manifest as your process and lab chemistry, cutting a separate small-vendor relationship out of your procurement entirely.
