CRC LanoCote: The Natural Corrosion Fighter Built for New Zealand Conditions
New Zealand’s marine and coastal environments are some of the toughest on the planet. Salt air, moisture, and constant exposure to the elements can take a toll on metal surfaces - whether you’re maintaining a car, boat, trailer, or the gear you rely on every day. That’s where CRC LanoCote steps in.
Formulated from lanolin and fortified with corrosion‑inhibiting additives, CRC LanoCote is designed to protect metal surfaces from rust and oxidation. It’s a simple, natural solution that punches well above its weight, especially in harsh environments.
Why LanoCote Works: The Power of Lanolin
Lanolin has long been known for its protective qualities - after all, it’s what keeps sheep’s wool waterproof and resilient. CRC LanoCote takes this natural wax with some fish oil and enhances it with modern corrosion control technology, creating a barrier that:‑control technology, creating a barrier that:
- Controls Salt & Fresh Water Corrosion
- Prevents Thread-Seizure
- Combats Electrolysis
- Waterproofs
- Lubricates Moving Parts
Unlike petroleum-based greases, CRC LanoCote doesn’t break down quickly, and it won’t evaporate or dry out. It stays where you put it, continuing to protect long after application.
Built for Harsh Environments, Trusted Everywhere
Although CRC LanoCote is a favourite among boaties, its uses go far beyond the water. It’s a versatile product that fits into almost any workshop, garage, or toolbox.

If it’s metal and exposed to the elements, CRC LanoCote has a role to play.
Easy to Apply, Hard to Wash Off
CRC LanoCote is designed for convenience. Simply remove all loose rust and dirt, clean the surface, apply a thin coating, and let the product do the rest. It adheres strongly, resists wash off‑, and won’t drip or run - even in hot conditions.
Because it’s lanolin-based, it’s also gentler on your skin and the environment than many traditional corrosion inhibitors.
