Very few, if any, products on the market today can boast that they have been designed by nature and rigorously tested for centuries. Lanolin Products can boast exactly that. We haven't tried to improve on nature's product, we simply made it easier to use!!!
Ancient European Warriors and Mariners used Lanolin (Wool Grease) to protect and lubricate their weaponry, leather and timbers for many centuries. To this day Lanolin serves many of the world's Navies, who insist on the time proven corrosion protection that Lanolin (Nature's own anti-oxidant) provides for all metal structures and fittings.
This natural, non-toxic product has virtually limitless applications in the modern boating industry and endless uses on farm machinery and irrigation equipment, in metal fabrication, for motor vehicle component protection, trailers, leather, sporting equipment, as a welding anti-spatter agent and for a multitude of household chores.
Woolube Grease is a thick, tacky grease with high load capabilities that will not wash out under most conditions, from underwater to general usage. Melt and apply with a paintbrush for heavier protection / rejuvenation. Woolube Grease will provide excellent results as an anti-corrosive, thread anti-seize and general lubricant.
Please note: Not to be used as a high speed bearing lubricant.
Some common situations that will benefit from the application of Woolube Grease are:
• Vessel bottom
• Shaft/Props/struts
• Trim Tabs
• Running Gear
• Intakes
• Wave runners
• Anchors & shackles
• Battery terminals
• Boat trailer springs
• Chains
• Electrolysis
• Heavy machinery
• Irrigation plant & pipes
• Rubber gaskets & seals
- USER GUIDE MARINE COATING
- PREPARATION:
- ALL EQUIPMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN IN SEAWATER, SHOULD FIRST BE WASHED
- DOWN WITH LIQUID CHLORINE (3:1).
- ALL BOAT HULLS MUST BE WASHED DOWN WITH LIQUID CHLORINE (3:1) TO
- KILL ANY MICROSCOPIC SPORE.
- FIBERGLASS HULLS
- For “New” or previously untreated hulls we recommend the use of a Gelcote
- sealer if one has not been applied previously, prior to the application of our
- “Coating”. Surface must be CLEAN and DRY.
- Woolube should not affect the Gelcote sealer used on fiberglass
- hulls and there have been no reported instances were Woolube has
- reacted with a Gelcote sealer coating. If you are unsure about applying
- Woolube is recommended that an inconspicuous section be
- coated to test for reactivity. If reaction occurs please do not apply Woolube
- ALUMINIUM HULLSSurface must be CLEAN and DRY. If heavy oxidation exists, remove with aluminium cleaner, and then apply.
- PREVIOUSLY ANTI-FOULED HULLS
- Remove marine growth and loose anti-foul particles thoroughly. Surface
- must be CLEAN and DRY before application of our “Coating”.
- APPLICATION:
- HULLS
- Coating can be applied by:
- (a) Sprays (including airless)
- (b) Roller or brush
- Generally 1 or 2 coats are sufficient.
- Always allow evaporation time between coats and before launching.
- Remember Woolube remains tacky until submerged.
- OTHER APPLICATIONS
- • Outboard legs Sail Drives Bow Thrusters Buoys
- • Stern Drives Log Spigots Intake Pick-up Grates
- As usual, surface must be CLEAN and DRY
- Apply “Coating” as for HULLS.
- GROUND TACKLE & PROPS
- Use WOOLUBE.
- See the User Guides or ASK US NOW!
- REAPPLICATION
- Clean off with steam cleaner or hot pressure wash. Surface may be
- cleaned by using Surface Prep or by hand scrubbing with hot water above
- 600C.
- When CLEAN and DRY, reapply as per instructions.
- MAINTANANCE
- All moored hulls MUST be visually inspected, and the hull wiped down every
- 4 – 6 weeks if required.
- BENEFIT SUMMARY
- Woolube is the ideal marine coating because of its proven ability to resist acid
- etching, i.e. barnacles. Subsequent reapplication requires no special hull
- treatment such as sanding/grinding etc.
- Slipway or hardstand time will be greatly reduced due to the saving in preparation and spray application time.
- Woolube Marine Coating will virtually eliminate electrolysis – a little spray will
- stop this expensive killer
- WOOLUBE will not totally stop bacterial attachments, but it drastically reduces this ongoing process and saves our waterways from the dreadful and toxic cocktails caused by some traditional anti-fouls.
- USER GUIDE PROPELLERS
- Woolube is an invaluable product to the marine industry, its forte being the
- preserving of exposed base metals. Woolube is particularly useful as an
- underwater exposed metal coating.
- BENEFITS: Resistant to acid etching
- Base metal penetration
- Pro-active ability
- Reduces hydrolysis
- TECHNICAL
- 1. Clean propeller or other fittings back to base metal and wash with a liquid pool chlorine at 3:1 ratio to kill any microscopic spore. (very important)
- 2. It is preferable to heat the metal to between 650C to 1000C.
- 3. Liberally apply Woolube Grease or Woolube directly onto the hot
- components and rub in where practical.
- 4. Continuous use of Woolube Grease at regular service intervals can
- enhance and preserve your valuable assets.
- 5. As Woolube is a natural product it does not affect our waterways like the
- traditionally used “Toxic” products. Woolube will not totally stop
- bacterial attachments, but drastically reduces this ongoing process.
