Corrosion is a natural progression of deterioration that components succumb to over time. More so during winter, metal surfaces are far more prone to rusting – or the process of “oxidation” for several reasons.

​

• Increased moisture in the air and on the roads

• Increased salt due to road gritting

 

The oxidation process requires both moisture and oxygen to react with a ferrous metal to form rust (iron oxide). An increased amount of moisture in the environment increases the likelihood of the process being able to take place.

​

Salt does not cause rusting on its own – but it significantly speeds up oxidation. The chemical reaction required for rust to form involves an exchange of electrons between the metal and oxygen. In short, salt water accelerates the process so much because it is what is known as an ‘electrolyte’ solution – current, and electrons, flow more easily in salt water and so the rusting process happens more rapidly.

​

Underbody rust can be an expensive issue to fix and can also be a hazard too. If it is left to get too bad, it can affect the structural integrity of the vehicle and lead to costly repair work and/or failure of MOTs. We are here to help you tackle the dangers of winter and rusting on new and used vehicle and to ensure your vehicle is protected with our specialist application of Lanoguard on the vehicle underbody and chassis.

Lanoguard has a set of features and technical specifications which really set it apart. Once you understand these technical features you can really start to work out all kinds of uses for Lanoguard grease and sprays across all kinds of corrosion protection, waterproofing, electrical and lubrication applications.

 

The Lanoguard features are: 

​

• Natural and much, much longer lasting

• Salt, Acid and Alkaline resistant

• Hermetically seals the surface (so oxidation can’t occur (so rust can’t form nor continue))

• Waterproof (instantly waterproof anything)

• Jet wash resistant to 3000 psi or 200 bar (won't be displaced and will keep protecting after cleaning)

• Petroleum resistant (so petrol or diesel spillage or leakage wont displace it nor mix with it)

• Non-conductive to 70,000 volts (use on all electrics and circuit boards)

• Prevents galvanic corrosion and cold welding

• Prevents electrolysis (no more seized nuts and bolts or outboard motor legs!)

• Non-evaporative (won't dry out like normal grease leaving un-lubricated or protected parts)

• Heat resistant to 450 degrees celsius

• Adheres to all surfaces

• Non-leaching (won't spread to other adjoining surfaces and material)

• Non perishing (safe to use on all rubbers etc)

• Lubricating (amazingly low friction co-efficients)

• Very low friction coefficient

• Ecologically sound (can be used safely in marine environments)

• Our greases are Non-petroleum based (non-toxic or hazardous)
