Prolan Brochure

The Natural High Performance Lubricant

In recent years there has been a global move towards more environmentally safe and sustainable products and people are increasingly demanding more environmental alternative lubricants and greases. Prolan lubricants are truly remarkable long lasting, non-toxic and water safe products,which give outstanding lubricating results, reduce wear and save time and money on the usual multiple re-applications....

Witham Group have previously been a distributor of Prolan products, but are now proud to be the sole importer and distributor for the UK and Ireland. The Prolan concept was originally created in New Zealand and is now a growing global, environmentally friendly, and extremely high quality lubricant range that Witham are delighted to be involved with.

The choice of products are available in five viscosities, from light grade to extreme grade. Prices have also been drastically reduced, due to the reorganisation of the import structure. As more companies address the use of chemicals in their supply chain, and want to improve their sustainability credentials, this unbeatable high quality lubricant is a popular choice for many businesses.

THE BENEFITS OF LANOLIN BASED LUBRICANTS

Prolan products are made with lanolin derived from sheep’s wool. Lanolin is a powerful natural product often known as ‘wool grease’ and has been used for centuries as a natural moisturiser and protector. Raw lanolin 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.

Lanolin’s strong lubricating and protective qualities have been used to outstanding effect in many industries, particularly on metal surfaces and moving parts, by forming a long lasting natural barrier that protects and prevents corrosion. Its unique formula enables the lubricants to stay in place and not evaporate. They are not washed off or displaced by salt water spray, which sets them apart from traditional petroleum based lubricants.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY & SAFE TO USE

Our planet is under threat from the long term use of chemicals. Many customers require a high quality lubricant but now wish to have a more environmentally safe product on their machinery to protect their staff and the environment in which they work. Lubricants and other chemicals can affect areas such as agricultural fields, waterways and forests. Prolan products are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and biodegradable – making them safe for the environment and good for health and well-being.

NON-TOXIC, FOOD & WATER SAFE

BIODEGRADABLE BELBADARGEDOI

Prolan lubricants have gained a number of International Food Safety Approvals and in the UK are NSF approved for both H1 and H2 requirements. This means they are certified as approved ‘food-grade lubricants’.

The range is especially suitable for sensitive environments such as forests, waterways, food manufacturing, horticultural, agricultural and marine locations as well as a long lasting easy to use general lubricant for around the workshop or home. Prolan is an excellent wood preserver as it has added linseed which protects the wood from moisture, rot and greening. It is a safe alternative to Creosote. Using the correct lubricant in these sensitive situations is clearly crucial.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST RUST

Powered by New Zealand based lanolin experts, this product range has been formulated by qualified engineers and lubricant specialists who understand the corrosion problems encountered by many industries. The key fact is that the environmentally friendly elements of this lubricant range do not compromise their performance.

This range of products can be used in absolutely any industry and has won many awards for its many innovative environmental applications.

EXTENDS THE LIFE OF EQUIPMENT & MACHINERY

“We have been very impressed with Prolan and apply it to our farm machinery to prevent corrosion and extend its useable life. It is so versatile and cost effective - I would recommend Prolan to everyone.” Ben Bowerman - Godlingston Manor Farm, Dorset
