Lanotec Steel-Seal Corrosion Protection is a lanolin rust inhibitor for plant, trailers, farm gear and bare steel, from 600 ml triggers to 1,000 L IBCs.

What it does

Steel-Seal is lanolin in an evaporating carrier. The carrier gets it into seams, threads and casings, then evaporates and leaves a lanolin skin that resists acids, salts, moisture and fertiliser, and holds on through washdown. On steel that has started to corrode, it seals out the moisture and air the rust needs, so the damage stops spreading. Lanotec says the film reseals itself where scratched. The liquid is not a dangerous good.

Where to use it

Underbodies and chassis rails, jet skis, boat trailers and marine motors, boom sprayers and fertiliser spreaders, chemical stores, and drill pipe threads and casings. It carries a 41 kV non conductive rating from Lanotec. Water NSW crews have coated Murray River lock and weir gates with it. For touch ups, grab the Steel-Seal aerosol.

How to use

1. Clean the steel and let it dry.
2. Shake the container until fully mixed, longer in cold weather.
3. Spray, brush or roll it on. For big areas, decant into a Lanotec Pressure Sprayer.
4. Keep sparks, flames and voltage away for roughly an hour while the carrier evaporates.
5. Wait about an hour before the steel meets water, and reapply at each service.

Safe on / avoid

Lanotec lists metal, rubber, plastic, vinyl, leather and electrical equipment as compatible. New galvanising should weather grey and powdery before it is coated. Try a small patch on paintwork first. The liquid is combustible and harmful if it reaches the lungs, so keep it from ignition sources and lock it away. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
