Lanotec
For manufacturing companies needing to meet environment, sustainability & governance (ESG) and responsible procurement goals, the choice of products used in day-to-day operations is key.
Cleaning, lubrication and corrosion protection products help keep manufacturing equipment running smoothly, reducing wear and tear, and maintaining reliability and longevity. Yet it can be difficult to find products that , both effective and designed with environmental improvements in mind.
Lanotec’s solutions for manufacturers.
Lanotec is an Australian company that uses ingredients such as lanolin and methyl ester derived from coconut oil in its industrial solutions. Manufactured here, the products have globally-recognised GreenTag certification which means they have genuine green credentials.
To obtain GreenTag certification, products are tested against six types of sustainability criteria:
- Greenhouse gas emissions.
- Health and ecotoxicity.
- Lifecycle analysis.
- Social responsibility and labour conditions.
- Synergy (product efficiency).
Made to strict quality standards and independently tested in NATA-certified laboratories, Lanotec’s products are able to meet the needs of harsh operating environments, from food processing through to metal fabrication and everything in between.
The Lanotec product range.
Lanotec makes three main categories of products ideal for manufacturing – cleaners, lubricants and corrosion protection solutions.
- Industrial cleaners and degreasers
This category includes natural degreasers for machinery, plant and electrical components, and streak-free cleaners for all types of surfaces including stainless steel and aluminium.
An example is Lanotec Citraforce. Citraforce can help remove oil, grease, carbon, adhesives, sealants and more. It’s non-flammable, non-toxic, Global GreenTag-certified, and HACCP-certified as safe for use in the food industry.
- Industrial lubricants
Lanotec GreenTag certified lubricants include:
- Type A Grease: a non-toxic, non-flammable, non-leaching grease that is designed to moisture-proof components and protect against corrosion.
- MGX: marine-grade lanolin-based penetrant and lubricant that is safe for use on plastics, rubber and some metals.
- EGX: electrical-grade lubricant for the protection of electrical components against corrosion and moisture.
- Corrosion protection solutions
GreenTag products in this category include:
- General Purpose Liquid Lanolin: multi-purpose penetrant that helps protects against corrosion while also doubling-up as a lubricant.
- MGX: moisture-repellent penetrant that is designed to protect metal surfaces from rust and corrosion.
Lanotec products can provide numerous benefits to manufacturing businesses, including helping to:
- Minimise the risk of equipment breakdown, in turn improving efficiency and productivity.
- Save money by extending equipment life.
- Contribute to a healthier and safer environment for workers.
- Meet ESG responsibilities through GreenTag certification.
An example of Lanotec hard at work
A general metal fabrication business based in South-East Queensland has been relying on Lanotec products for 20 years. Type A Grease is used when a lubricant is needed during fabrication on dies used to fold metals. It’s also used as an anti-seize product.
The customer says their team is happy to use products that maintain performance and while incorporating materials that reduce environmental impact. Using Lanotec products also cuts down on the number of consumables needed, because of the wide range of applications. Around the workshop, the lanolin products are used to lubricate roller doors, as a penetrant to loosen frozen connections and for corrosion protection on die storage.
“Never in 20 years of using Lanotec products have they failed to meet expectations.”
National Sales Manager at Lanotec, Pauline Doran, says Lanotec products can help businesses improve efficiency, and save money and waste by extending equipment life.
“Our environmentally-responsible solutions can provide solid results for manufacturing businesses while also helping them meet their ESG compliance requirements.”
