From the sheep to your boat - to keep it in great condition in an environmentally friendly way SW
The most rough and tumble sheep shearers in the world always had the softest hands - because their hands spent so much time handling sheep. Now the natural lanolin that comes from sheep's wool has been turned into an extremely versatile, completely environmentally friendly spray lubricant, just great for marine environments. It's called Woolube Marine Max.
A real answer for total boat maintenance in a multitude of uses, this lanoline-based is not only environmentally friendly it is moisture dispersant, corrosion protector, insulator, penetrant and cleaner - and it's meant for use specifically in marine environments.
Lanolin products are derived from natural wax (wool grease) and are 100% biodegradable, non-toxic and provide a safe, superior alternative to traditional petrochemical based dewatering and lubricating fluids. It is resistant to salt and acids resulting in reduced maintenance and longer service life.
Marine Max Liquid Lanolin is a sprayable form of Marine Max Grease which dries to a fine film offering the same characteristics as the grease, as well as being an excellent fluid displacement, penetrant and lubricant.
