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.

Our product 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.

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.

  Hi Shayne,

  If you are using an oil based paint then you will have no problems, most aerosols are fine. I do recommend giving the area a wipe with a cloth though if possible.

  Good morning Garth
  If you mean you want to run this through a rubber hose and spray, we do not recommend this as overtime this will affect and soften the rubber hose due to the porous nature of natural rubbers.
  
  Kind Regards your Inox Team

can you use mx3 on a carbon fiber bike

Reply
- ashley milton on April 6th, 2021 - 10:32am
  
  Hi Frederick,
  
  Thanks for the Enquiry. INOX MX3 Does not effect carbon fibre if it is not damaged. INOX MX5 Plus is commonly used in the bicycle industry as it contains PTFE and is great on chains, pivot points and other high speed moving parts.

Brandon on March 29th, 2021 - 7:50pm

Mx4 lanox
On one site it tells me safe on all rubbers
On another site it tells me may effect some rubbers.
Can you clarify.
I would find it hard to spray a PwC engine bay and not come into contact with rubbers.
Can you clarify what rubbers also.
Thanks

- Suzanne Thomas on April 9th, 2021 - 11:04am
  
  Good Morning Brandon
  Sorry for the confusion we have rebranded our products and added additional information for consumer on awareness of oil and rubber. MX4 is for protection from corrosion and damaging salt moisture spray on external water craft, motors, power legs, light fittings etc. Inside the engine bay should be sealed and dry and not come into contact with salt water spray. Oil Base lubricants will affect natural rubbers over a long period, broadly defined oil resistance is the ability of a rubber product to perform its intended function while in contact with oil. This recognizes that the elastomer may be swollen or weakened to some extent by the oil.
  If you have concerns speak with your PWC Mechanic. Kindest Regards INOX Lubricant Team Mates

Can i use MX4 in a common 5ltr garden pressure pump sprayer from bunnings, As i want to be able to use the wand and the pressure to spray areas of my inboard motor that a hand held spray wont do when tilted.

Reply
- Suzanne Thomas on July 5th, 2021 - 10:38am
  
  Good Morning Darren
  Issue with a common garden sprayer is how fine the sprayer/ mist as with using Lanox the lanolin may clog the lines and spray nozzle. We have Applicator Bottles with spray nozzles designed for this application these come with the 5L bottle when purchased. You can of course trial this, if you do make sure you shake this product well before putting it into the pump and before use, we would suggest cleaning the sprayer and nozzle immediately after to prevent clogging of your pressure pump with lanolin, clean through with warm soapy water.

Aaron Papas on August 2nd, 2021 - 3:01pm

Hi,
Can Lanox be directly applied to an aluminium boat in places that are vulnerable to corrosion, such as the aluminium frame that supports a casting deck? These locations often show aluminium corrosion no matter how well washed with fresh water they are. Is Lanox MX4 safe to use directly on aluminium?

Reply
- Suzanne Thomas on August 10th, 2021 - 2:42pm
  
  Yes Lanox is safe to use directly onto Aluminium, this is a great product for your frame and supports in your boat. This will displace the water and protect from corrosion.

Tristan Smith on October 3rd, 2021 - 5:54pm

I have a Patina vehicle and am looking for a product that I can spray on to protect the rusty surface . I may want to paint the vehicle in the future but want to eliminate any further corrosion at this point – has Lanox MX4 been used in this application before that you know of ? Is the product liable to attract or pick up dust ( sticky once applied)?

Reply
- Suzanne Thomas on December 7th, 2021 - 12:04pm
  
  MX3 and MX4 are Anti Static so will not pick up dust , MX3 will wash off with Warm soap water but with MX4 you will need to use Diggers White Spirit to remove before painting.
Ian Lyon on October 26th, 2021 - 12:50pm

For aluminium awning & sliding windows and sliding doors in an ocean front setting highly exposed to salt air is it better to use Inox on the runners and winders and Lanox on the frames? Or doesn’t matter which?

  The MX4 will give you a long lasting better protection against the salt environment.
Cory Behrens on October 26th, 2021 - 7:53pm

Hi, I’m using panic for underbody rust protection on my 4×4. How long would you expect one application to last? Or at what intervals would you suggest to reapply? Thanks.

  Hi Cory
  Are you using MX4 for your underbody if so this will give a good protection for a 3-6 month period but if you are taking your vehicle on the beach and giving your underbody a wash down when you return you would want to reapply
