Lanotec Type A Grease is pure lanolin grease for anti-seize, dielectric, rubber and assembly jobs on plant and cranes, in tubs, tubes, pails, drums and IBCs.

What it does

Type A is industrial grade lanolin in grease form, with no solvent, and one tub does the work of an anti-seize, an assembly lubricant, a rubber grease and a dielectric grease. Lanolin stays soft rather than drying out, so it keeps protecting pins with no grease point. Lanotec's data sheet lists high resistance to acids and salts and to high pressure wash off, and a dry test to 70 kV showing it to be non conductive. It stops galling on stainless and aluminium and stops electrolysis between dissimilar metals. Lanotec measured its torque coefficient (K factor) at 0.15.

Where to use it

Connectors and multi pin plugs that must stay dry, battery terminals, fasteners, boom and pivot pins, seals and O rings. Lanotec adds belt dressing, soft metal seals, drilling and cutting, welding nozzle dip and bolts set in timber. A Lanotec project report records Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift and Shift in WA greasing its multi pin plugs and lattice boom pins with Type A. Rope work calls for Lanotec Wire Rope Lube Aerosol; more in coolants and lubricants.

How to use

1. Start with a clean, dry part.
2. Work the grease into the thread, pin or contact by hand, brush or applicator.
3. Remove the excess.
4. Top up at each service and after heavy washdowns.

Safe on / avoid

Lanotec describes it as non perishing to rubber, so seals and O rings are fine, as are stainless, aluminium and mixed metal joints. Keep it out of hot spots: the SDS puts the melting range at 35 to 45ºC. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
