CRC Industries (Horsham, PA) has announced the launch of three new products to complement its broad offering of market-leading Food Grade lubricants, greases and cleaners. Designed to enhance operational efficiency and safety, the new additions underscore CRC’s commitment to deliver NSF-certified, innovative solutions to the food processing industry. Specifically:
CRC Food Grade Bio-Based Power Lube is the first bio-based lubricant on the market matching the durable characteristics typically provided by a synthetic formula, only this formula is a readily biodegradable, vegetable oil-based lubricant. Formulated for extended service under extreme temperature conditions and treated with antioxidants, extreme pressure, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion additives and fortified with ceramic powder, it provides superior lubrication and protection for heavy machinery and equipment in food processing environments. As an additional safety feature, the Perma-Lock 2-Way Integrated Actuator is designed to prevent straw detachment from the can, reducing the risk of foreign object contamination.
CRC Food Grade Bio-Based Power Lube Grease offers excellent stability and resistance to water-washout, making it ideal for use in food processing applications where incidental food contact may occur. This readily biodegradable, vegetable oil-based grease is engineered to meet the extreme anti-wear characteristics of a synthetic formula in a biobased package. It extends equipment life and reduces maintenance costs while meeting the highest food safety standards.
CRC Food Grade Sugar Dissolver is a powerful two-in-one solution designed to quickly dissolve sugar-based residues from processing equipment while leaving behind a light lubricant to help prevent future sugar buildup. This product also features the Perma-Lock® 2-Way Integrated Actuator, which offers wide or narrow spray pattern options while reducing the risk of foreign object contamination.
These new products are supported by the exclusive CRC Stoplight Food Safety Program and Risk Reduction Partner Program, which address compliance challenges head on so manufacturers can pass audits and operate their businesses with confidence.

Borealis made significant progress on its journey towards a circular economy in 2024, with major increases in both capacity and feedstock processing. The latest shows circular production capacity rising by 18% compared to the previous year, reaching 227,900 metric tons, while the volume of circular feedstock processed nearly doubled to 221,200 metric tons.
The new high-speed facility will replace the existing production plant at the Burghausen site and will substantially boost production capacity for hybrid polymers. “With annual growth rates of well over five percent in some cases, the market for hybrid polymers is extremely attractive for us,” says Managing Board member Christian Kirsten.
At the beginning of May, construction started on Greensand’s Carbon Dioxide transit terminal at Port Esbjerg in Denmark. Once operational, the terminal will be a critical component in what is expected to become the EU’s first CO₂ storage facility aimed at mitigating climate change.
