Lanomax Aerosol is wool grease lanolin in a 350 g spray can for lubricating and rust proofing tools, fittings and marine gear, sold in lots of 12.

What it does

Sierra makes Lanomax from natural wool grease for industrial jobs that need lubricity, water repellency and protection from corrosion. In this can, 20 to 40 per cent anhydrous wool grease is dissolved in low aromatic white spirit and pushed out by a butane and propane propellant. Sierra's catalogue says a very small amount is enough to guard metal against rust, and that it will not cause slippage on fittings such as turnbuckles.

Where to use it

Rust proofing metal components and hand tools, and general lubrication. On boats and trailers, fishing reels, hinges, turnbuckles, aerials and couplings. On leather, where Sierra says it keeps the leather supple and water resistant without changing its colour. Electrical components that need protecting from moisture, including battery terminals once they are fitted. For bulk jobs the same lanolin comes as Lanomax Liquid Lanolin in trigger packs and drums. More in coolants and lubricants.

How to use

1. Work in a well ventilated spot and avoid breathing the spray.
2. Apply a light coat to the part; a little goes a long way.
3. Wash your hands before and after the job, as the SDS advises.
4. Put the can away from heat, flame and direct sun when you finish.

Safe on / avoid

Sierra lists Lanomax as compatible with metal, leather and textiles. The spray is a flammable aerosol and the SDS lists a possible allergic reaction, so wear gloves and keep sparks and naked flame clear. Store it apart from strong acids and oxidising agents. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
