MX4 LANOX LANOLIN LUBRICANT

Designed for heavy industrial, mining, farming, marine, earth moving and transport type use and where extreme climatic and high humidity conditions prevail.

 General Information

LANOX Lanolin Lubricant is a heavy duty, anti-moisture, anti-corrosion lubricant made with a high grade oil and lanolin base, with specialised chemical compounds. LANOX Is created with Lanolin, a natural wax found in animal wool, especially the wool from sheep, commonly referred as ‘WOOL FAT’ or ‘WOOL GREASE’.

Lanolin has widespread uses, ranging from cosmetics, soaps and medical products to rust proofing and lubrication. Lanolin has been used in skin care and cosmetics as far back as 700BC, but in the late nineteenth century it was refined at a new level, giving us lanolin with an extremely high quality. Although we make INOX, a quality anti-corrosion lubricant, there are areas where a lanolin based anti-corrosion lubricant like LANOX is sometimes better suited for the application at hand.

LANOX MX4 has ideal applications in the Marine industry. It designed to stop electrolysis between different metals and prevent oxidation and rust from forming on the surface. The lanolin base helps to prolong the protection between applications, as it is a natural anti-corrosion compound that is not soluble in water and leaves a protective film behind.

MX4 Lubricant Applications and Uses

INOX will cover most of the applications most of the times where an anti-corrosion lubricant is required, but there are times when a heavier, longer lasting anti-corrosion lubricant is needed to do the job. 4 years of research and testing went into LANOX before it was brought to the market. About 70% of the time LANOX and INOX can be used for the same application, INOX is more suitable for the lighter applications such as electrical, fishing, garage doors, hobbies etc. and LANOX is suitable for the more extreme climate and high humidity conditions.

ANCHORS, CHAINS AND SHACKLE BOLTS

For  protection against corrosion and helps reduce fouling.

CONCRETE

Keeps shovels, trowels, floats & formwork clean and corrosion free between use – Stops mortar and concrete adhering to aluminium frames, window & door glass on construction and building work sites.

CONSTRUCTION AND FABRICATION

Protects bare metal surfaces, frame work and welded joints in the open air from corrosion during construction before painting – Also good for the protection of all unpainted metal held in storage.

EARTH MOVING MACHINERY

Use as an anti-seize on track and blade bolts & nuts before screwing together – Protects all blades and bare metal surfaces between use.

FARM MACHINERY

Protects all painted and bare mental surfaces, sprockets, chains and cables from corrosion on all tractors, harvesters (grain, sugar, grape, etc), sowers, vegetable diggers and washers in use and in the off season.

IRRIGATION PLANT AND PIPES

Keeps pump motors, cables, linkages, couplings and electricals clean and free from corrosion and lubricated while in use and when in storage.

JET SKIS AND OUTBOARDS

Protects outboards, clamps, props and jet skis from salt water corrosion, will not harm or harden rubber fittings – Keeps control and steering cables and linkages in good working order, lubricated and corrosion free.

LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT

Spray on all livestock crates and gates (rail , road, etc) to protect from rust and chemical corrosion before transit or in storage.
Lubricates and protects locks and hinges.

MINING

Protects all bare metal surfaces, pump motors (above and below ground), drag lines, winches and associated electricals from moisture and corrosion in humid and adverse weather conditions.

MOORINGS AND SLIPS

Stops electrolysis – Keeps winches, cables, slip cradles and wheel bushes lubricated & corrosion free – protection for all electricals from moisture & corrosion.

PROTECTION

Protects all painted and bare metal surfaces in the open from moisture and corrosion – Protects all timber surfaces for water and dry rot ( may slightly darken bare timber but it will not harm it) – Waterproofs and protects leather harness’s, boots, etc. Protects Firearms, barrels, etc in long term storage, will not harm stocks or metal finishes.

TRAILERS

Boat, box & car trailers and horse floats, spray on chassis, springs, axles, hinges, couplings, winches, cables. light fittings and electricals for protection from sea air and salt water corrosion.

THREAD ANTI-SEIZE

Spray on all metal threads before joining, stops threads from corroding together, makes it easier to undo all joints, nuts, bolts and screws at a later date.

MX4 Lanolin Lubricant Common Questions

WHAT IS LANOX?
LANOX is a Lanolin based anti-corrosion, anti-moisture lubricant.

What difference is there between LANOX and INOX?
LANOX has been designed for a more heavy duty application than the original INOX. For long storage protection use MX4.

Can I use LANOX for any applications that I would normally use INOX?
In about 70% of instances LANOX & INOX will have the same results as both contain no silicon, acids, kerosene or dieselene. They are both top quality lubricants, cutting agents and anti-moisture, anti-corrosion sprays.

What are the areas that LANOX would be preferred over INOX?
For example LANOX is more suitable in certain marine applications such as Anchors, Chains & Shackle Bolts and in the protection of Outboard & Inboard Motors. INOX would be best used in areas such as Marine Radios, Sail Tracks (non-staining) and the protection of stainless & aluminium fittings ( good for polishing stainless steel, aluminium & fibreglass). For use in Firearms, LANOX is best used for long term storages purposes whereas INOX has better applications for the day to day cleaning and lubrication (anti-static) so it doesn’t attract dirt and helps clean barrel residues easier.

Does LANOX have applications in the Farming Industry?
Because of it’s Lanolin base it has good long term applications in areas such as cutter bars on headers, lawnmowers, linkages, etc to protect against rust and corrosion (spray onto moving parts to give protection during stand down periods). LANOX is a good anti-corrosion agent for bare metals in storage, stock crates or as a protectant after welding. LANOX is also a good long term lubricant for areas that traditionally receive little maintenance attention (ie. gate hinges, stationary motors, etc).

Does LANOX have applications for Earthmoving Equipment?
LANOX can be used as long term lubrication for linkages, cables couplings, etc and for corrosion protection in electrical systems as well as an anti-seize on track bolts
and wheel studs.

Can LANOX be used as a cutting lubricant?
Yes, tests conducted prior to it’s release found that LANOX is an effective cutting, milling, tapping and thread cutting lubricant for a variety of metals.
It is especially effective on aluminium
