Lanotec EGX Electrical Grade Lubricant is lanolin penetrant that guards electrics against moisture and corrosion, in 600 mL triggers, 3 L packs and 5 L jerry cans.

What it does

EGX leaves a thin lanolin film over electrical and electronic parts that keeps moisture out, slows rust and corrosion, and lubricates the small moving parts nearby. A penetrating carrier goes in first, loosening tight connectors and switches, and then evaporates. Lanotec gives it a 70 kV non conductive rating when dry and free of silicones, with resistance to acids, salts and wash off and AS 2331.3.1 salt spray testing and MIL-C-16173. HACCP food grade and NSF listings appear on its data sheet. The jerry can suits crews treating whole switchrooms or a fleet, by spray, brush or roller.

Where to use it

Electrical cabinets and switchboards, battery banks and terminals, connectors, cables and circuit boards. Generators, compressors, electric motors and air conditioners. Cable pulling in conduit, cabinet hinges, escalator components and automatic motor parts. Lanotec's web page also names machinery in food production areas. For a carry can, see Lanotec EGX Electrical Grade Lubricant Aerosol, or browse coolants and lubricants.

How to use

1. Shake the container well, more so in cold weather.
2. Work on clean, dry surfaces.
3. Trigger spray it, or apply by brush or roller from the jerry can.
4. Let it dry before powering the parts back up, and wipe off any excess.
5. Keep it dry for around 60 minutes, and recoat at each service interval.

Safe on / avoid

Lanotec rates EGX as suitable for rubbers and plastics. As supplied it is combustible, so keep heat and naked flame clear until it dries, and store it apart from strong oxidising agents. After the volatile part evaporates, the data sheet describes the remaining film as non hazardous. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
