Witham Group’s New Rust Prevention Range includes Nature’s Secret Weapon

Rust is one of the most damaging phenomena that can happen to our vehicles, equipment and machinery. Rust is the result of a natural process where the iron in metals encounters oxygen and water, causing it to corrode and deteriorate.

It is not just unattractive to look at, it also causes metal to decay, becoming flaky and weak. This means metals are transformed from being one of the strongest materials on earth to one of the weakest. It can also create brittleness, causing the metal to break under the pressure of operation which intern results in both costly failures as well as a safety risk to users.

Repairs due to rust and ultimate replacement of components, can be expensive. In some cases, the rusty component may be entirely unusable, meaning costly new parts and machinery must be purchased. Help is at hand though – as lubricant manufacturers the Witham Group have launched a new range of rust prevention products for a variety of applications – including the latest leading biodegradable options made from unique non-toxic and non-carcinogenic ingredients.

VEHICLE CHASSIS

Water and salts from the roads will corrode a vehicle’s undercarriage if it is not properly protected. Corrosive damage will weaken the vehicle’s structural integrity over time, making it extremely dangerous for drivers and their passengers, particularly if a road accident occurs. At this time of year, when roads are regularly salted and gritted, vehicles are even more susceptible to corrosion and rusting from the severe conditions. Witham Group has recently launched ‘Prolan Extreme Grade Lubricant’ – which is a powerful natural rust preventer for the winter months on a daily driven vehicle. Acting as an impressive cavity wax, it can even be cold pressure washed without removing the coating itself. This product was recently described as “Nature’s Secret Weapon” by a customer and has won awards at many industry levels. Prolan is a high performing, biodegradable lubricant made from lanolin found in sheep’s wool.

SPARE WHEELS

Rust and corrosion can often seize up the mechanism holding the spare wheel on vehicles as many are located on the rear or underneath, making it impossible to remove. You can avoid this by applying either Prolan Medium Grade Lubricant or Prolan Extreme Grade Lubricant to the nuts and bolts of any vehicle as part of its ongoing maintenance. Witham also offer a solvent water displacing corrosion inhibitor – Qualube Rustarest – which provides long term protection to all metals and surfaces and is particularly useful to cover outdoor storage areas, protecting against rust with its excellent water repelling properties.

FARM MACHINERY & TRAILERS

Agricultural machinery is often exposed to many elements, tough conditions and highly corrosive chemicals. Using Prolan Medium Grade Lubricant in aerosol spray throughout the year will ensure complete protection to all working parts, including rear hydraulic pipes and rear linkage components.

Towing trailers and caravans are also often forgotten, dropped off and left without being cleaned or protected. Witham’s Rust Prevention Range includes products that will protect hinges, doors, folding ramps, spare wheel carriers and electrical systems and many other areas and applications.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Batteries and electrical components on vehicles are susceptible to corrosion from moisture and dirt. A lubricant spray such as Prolan Medium Grade Lubricant aerosol is easy to apply and is kind to sensitive electrical wiring systems. Some lubricant products can attack and break down the old insulation wires so using Prolan Medium Grade Llubricant on classic vehicles is a must.

GARDENS

Corrosion and rust on chainsaw blades, lawnmowers decks and hedge cutters can not only stop the mechanics working but can also be a safety hazard, as the metal parts corrode and breakdown. Regular maintenance with quality and easy to use products such as Witham Multi-Ease Spray or Prolan Light Grade Lubricant or Prolan Lubricant, help ensure smooth operation and more accurate precision.

WORK & HOME

There are many other everyday items, such as bike chains, chain locks, gears, key locks, door hinges and gates, that the build-up of corrosion and rust causes problems for. If untreated, the unsightly appearance, creaking and ultimately seizing up will cause issues. Keep all your equipment safe, lasting longer and in tip top condition with our full range of rust prevention products.

Witham Group MD Nigel Bottom comments: “As a long-standing manufacturer of lubricants and greases, we understand the importance of protecting equipment and vehicles from corrosion and avoiding costly breakdowns. We offer a range of rust prevention products suitable for just about every type of application, including our award winning, food safe and biodegradable Prolan range of rust preventative products, which have been reviewed with outstanding results and are of the highest quality.” To see our full Rust Prevention range – visit our website – click here to Find out more.
