Lanotec, an Australian-made manufacturer of multi-purpose lubricants and protectants, has extended its specialist offering to cover the electrical space with its EGX solution.

Non-conducive to 70kV, the EGX product offers long-term corrosion protection and lubrication for a wide array of applications.

EGX is ideal for use in electrical cabinets, circuit boards, connections and terminals, cables, compressors, escalator components, automatic door mechanisms and components in reticulation systems, such as solenoids, relays and control boxes.

The product can also be used as a spray-on anti-seize for locks, nuts and bolts, while it also penetrates, lubricates and protects wire ropes.

Resistant to high-pressure wash-off, EGX has been salt spray tested to AS 2331.3.1 and is safe on rubber and plastics. The product is available in 300g aerosol, 600ml spray packs and 5L bulk pack sizes.

The new aerosol line features a handy combo nozzle for use in any circumstance, with its inert CO2 propellent non-hazardous and non-flammable, ensuring maximum delivery of active ingredients.

“Over the years, Lanotec’s various products have found favour throughout the electrical trades because they are non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe to use around a wide range of components,” Lanotec Australia general manager Robert Doncon says.

“More and more, users understand the advantages of moving away from petrochemical options to environmentally friendly solutions, while equally important is the ability to support Australian-made products.”

He adds that the company worked extensively with electrical professionals to develop EGX.

“Not only is Lanotec’s range of lubricants, penetrants, corrosion inhibitors and degreasers the safest and most versatile available in the marketplace, but they are also specifically designed to outlast and outperform the competition,” he says.

Backing up the green credentials of the Lanotec offering, multiple products have received Global Green Tag’s prestigious certification, NSF certification, are endorsed for use in industries operating a HACCP-based food safety program, as well as being approved by AQIS for use in export registered meat establishments.
