Our story

Lanotec was established in 1998 as a manufacturer of non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendlier corrosion inhibitors and lubricants which are made from Lanolin (wool grease); and industrial strength degreasers made from a blend of organic solvents. Lanotec products are extremely versatile and able to reduce petrochemical consumables and maintenance costs while addressing HSE issues.

In June 2018, Lanotec received the prestigious Global Green Tag^TM Certification for 3 products relating to sustainable development and green-certified products. This reinforces the position of the Lanotec brand as a trusted and widely recognised global environmental manufacturer.

Natural and Sustainable Products

At Lanotec, we develop environmentally-friendly products based on the unique properties of lanolin, organic Methyl Ester, coconut oil and other natural ingredients. Our products are formulated from raw materials with natural corrosion prevention and lubrication properties, perfectly suited to withstand the extreme and varied Australian climate.

Our company name is inspired by lanolin, a natural substance secreted by sheep to provide a protective coating on their fleece. At Lanotec, we use a specialised process to convert raw wool grease (lanolin) into a range of non-toxic, environmentally-friendly products. We’ve established trusted working relationships with Australian wool scourers and continue to support the country’s wool industry.
