MINING

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Our biodegradable, eco-friendly credentials come into play in a big way in the mining environment. Yes, we know all about mining companies problem of having to rehabilitate the environment after oil spills.

Remediation is not an end-of-line requirement anymore. The entire process of the planning, the commissioning and the management of a project should incorporate all the rehabilitation and remediation structures necessary to avoid any adverse environmental impacts.

The report of the World Commission on Environment and Development showed that measures to reduce, control and prevent pollution needed to be greatly strengthened in both developed and developing countries.

Containment, storage and disposal are complex, time consuming and costly obligations.

Being 100% biodegradable, non-toxic and solvent free, GO Wax Lube offers a solution to reduce environmental impact in the mining environment.

Not only that, GO Wax Lube also offers extended chain life in the dirty environment thanks to the clean running due to minimal build up on the chain. No grinding paste, minimal wear!

Ok, so we are nearly done selling ourselves. Just one more thing: as our lube is solvent and gas free it is non-flammable and therefore safe to use underground.

NOTE: GO Wax Lube is not suitable for chain saws and other high heat applications over 70°C.
