Hi – I have many commercial weight machines – large weight stacks that run on stainless steel guide rods. Have tried a few diff products over years. Will give your mx3 a try – just wondering if there was one of your other products that may be better for this particular application? or is the mx3 the right one?
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the enquiry!
I would recommend the INOX MX5 Plus, this contains PTFE and is excellent in high loads applications, it has no odour and is food grade!
I hope this helps.

Hello, I have been trying for some years to free up the buttonhole lever on my Bernina 730 sewing machine. Today I tried spraying with Inox and heating with a hairdryer. Eureka! After about one hour soaking in Inox and a good heating with the dryer, I now have a good-as-new buttonholer. Thank you for a useful and efficient product.

I have been testing Inox as an oil flush. I first tried it in my 20 year old mower that has been getting very smoky. I assumed that it probably needed new rings, but then I thought maybe the rings are just gummed up and stuck. So I added about 30-40ml of mx3 to the oil and then let my mower idle for 10 minutes or so. I then drained the oil and replaced it. I’m happy to say that the mower runs clean again. I can only assume the rings have freed up or maybe the engine just needed a good flush out. Either way it worked.
So next I tried it in my diesel Patrol. I did this a little differently. First I drained the oil, and replaced it with some cheap oil (only used about 5l instead of the usual 8), and then added 200ml or so of mx3. Then I just let the engine idle for about half an hour. Once cool enough I drained the oil again. It came out black and ugly and thick. Then I replaced the filter and oil. I checked the oil a week later and it still looks completely clean, like new oil does, so I would say the Mx3 did a great job of cleaning all the muck out of the Patrol as well, hopefully loosening up all the rings etc as well. So I have to say I am pretty impressed with the cleaning abilities of the mx3. I used this oil, rather than wd40 etc as it has the better lubricating properties and I didn’t want to risk damaging bearings etc by using something that is not as good a lubricant.
Thanks Inox. Great product.
Hi Paul,
This is awesome! Definitely an application we haven’t had feedback on before!
Thanks a bunch Paul!

Can paint be applied over MX3
Yes you can paint over MX3 however, you will need to use an oil based paint and it is recommended that you wipe off any excess of the INOX beforehand.

Does inox 3 affect timber, eg, gunstocks? thanks.
Good Morning Paul
Gun stocks are usually sealed so inox will not effect your Gun Stock.
Regards The INOX Team
The Bunnings website says that they are no longer stocking inox.
Surely that can’t be correct
Good Morning Mike
No, this is not current Bunning still has MX3 and MX4 Aerosol Cans
Regards The INOX Team
Just bought a can of Inox mx3 and want to use the plastic nozzle on the top for a more precise use. Why is it so difficult to screw in? This seems like the dummest question, but it will not insert!
Good Morning Faye
It is a little tricky and a tight fit so it does not fall out when spraying, if you place the other end against the palm of your hand, holding the tube with your thumb and finger and give it a twist back and forth while you push it into the nozzle, it will go in.

Hi,
We are new into boating and looking at the best products to protect our new pride and joy.
I’m just a little confused between MX3 and MX4.
Can you please tell me what i should be using to spray an outboard boat motor under the cover. I hear the rubbers may be affected with long term use. Should and can I spray all areas with mx3 or mx4?
Why should I spray the boat steel trailer and all bolts with? Can I spray the motors cover as well?
Hi Simon
MX4 is what is used in Marine environments on external areas of boats , trailers, winches, bolts as it has also lanolin which gives an added protection. MX3 is used where you do not want a lanolin cover, on electronic components and more delicate areas.
MX3 can affect Natural rubber over a long period of time as natural rubber is pourous, similar to how oil will soak into pavers if they are not sealed, this will soften the rubber slowly. If you want to protect your motor you can spray MX3 making sure you wipe any excess oil from any rubber hoses, this will eliminate it soaking in. This will not affect synthetic rubbers such as viton rubber. Use a cloth and wipe it over the motor and inside the cover it can also be wiped over the outside of the motor which will keep it shining and water resistant until your next wash.
both the MX3 and MX4 protect from electrolysis.
Hi,
Could Inox MX3 be used for lubricating potentiometers like volume controls on electronic devices?
How it reacts to carbon-based sliding surfaces?
Thanks
Zoltan
Good Morning Zoltan
MX3 will not affect Electronics so yes it can be used to lubricate components.
You will need to give me more information on the application referring to carbon based sliding surfaces ? but since most machine element applications require lubrication, carbon based sliding surfaces will perform well also with lubricated contact. The inherent low friction and high wear resistance of the coating is benefited by the use of a lubricant, non lubrication can lead to scuffing and fine polish wear in un-lubricated slide contacts. but in these cases it is over a long operation time.
can Inox MX3 be used to lubricate bike suspension I’ve heard that it can damage rubber
Good Morning Jacob
If the rubber on your bike is natural rubber and not synthetic, like all oils it will soften rubber overtime as the rubber is porous. Use it sparingly if this is the case but if your talking about viton rubber then this will be fine as it is synthetic.
will Inox MX3 dissolve/brake down the grease inside bike suspension
Good Morning Jacob
not this will not break down grease as it is not solvent based.
I have used Inox MX3 for many years to protect the ways of my lathe and also my model engines.
When people ask me why I just tell them “have you ever seen a rusty sheep”
MX3 also is a great cutting fluid for machining aluminium alloys.

Hey guys, I am a marine engineer and have been using your product since it first came out, 1989?? I have many other converts, we only buy by the 5 L. Did you know it it as good as or better than “Armour All” on plastics and it smell ‘OK’. “Should’ve used Inox” is one of my catchphrases. I also own an Oyster farm where we use your products extensively.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Matt
The information you have provided is great, what do you use our products on at your oyster farm, have your also tried our MX4 Lanolin lubricant for marine applications?
Thank you for your email Kind Regards Inox Lubricant Team
I am a bit confused with one of the said properties ie. non-conductive, yet it is listed to be applied on small contact points inside electrical plugs ?
I wish to use it in the strobe port of an underwater camera, that also has rubber O Rings. So electrical conduction is a requirement here, so does my requirement fit with the use of Inox ?
Good Morning thank you for your enquiry, the lubricant is non conductive , this will not stop however an electricity plug from working it means the liquid will not conduct and will stop corrosion.
You may want to use the MX6 rubber grease for your application in the underwater camera , if the rubber is neoprene or Viton (synthetic rubber) the MX3 will not affect it but will on natural rubbers.
please check your camera recommendations, usually they will ask for a grease to be applied.
