About Lanotec

Raw lanolin (wool grease) is a natural substance secreted by sheep to provide a protective coating on their fleece for protection in harsh conditions. Once the sheep have been shorn, the fleece undergoes a scouring and refining process to extract the lanolin and to clean the fleece.

Lanotec is made from a specialized process which converts raw wool grease into a range of non-toxic, environmentally friendly products that are affordable and easy to apply. These products have multiple ranges of applications from general industrial lubrication and preservation, to the protection of metals and electronics from corrosion and wear.
