Application Guide

S4P Commercial Grade Lanolin is straightforward to apply — no specialist equipment needed for most applications. Follow the guide below to get the best results.

Before You Start

Remove loose dirt, flaking paint and loose rust. Light surface rust does not need to be completely removed — S4P lanolin will penetrate and protect over it.
If using the spray liquid in cold weather, warm the container by placing it in warm water for a few minutes. This ensures even viscosity and a better spray pattern.
Shake spray containers well for two minutes before use.

Applying the Grease

Apply with a brush, cloth, or gloved hand to the surface to be protected.
A thin, even coat is all that is needed — S4P lanolin is highly effective even at low film thickness.
For threaded fasteners and anti-seize applications, apply a thin coat to threads before assembly. S4P acts as both an anti-corrosion and anti-seize agent.
Excess product can be stored in an airtight container for future use.

Applying the Spray Liquid

Shake well before use.
Spray directly onto the surface and spread evenly with a cloth for maximum coverage and penetration.
For large-scale commercial applications, use a pressure sprayer to cover large areas quickly.
Spray into cavities, chassis sections and hard-to-reach areas directly.

After Application

Allow the product to settle — there is no drying time as such, but a few minutes before use will allow the lanolin to fully adhere to the surface.
S4P lanolin is self-healing — if the coating is scratched or abraded, it will flow and reseal naturally.
Reapply annually or as required depending on the severity of the environment.

Safety

S4P lanolin is 100% non-toxic, biodegradable and contains no petroleum-based solvents. No special protective equipment is required beyond normal good practice (gloves recommended to keep hands clean). Safe for use around people, animals and in environmentally sensitive areas.
