Fertilizer Damage Risk

Fertilizer Corrosion Protection

Agricultural machinery often operates in corrosive environments where exposure to fertilizers, moisture, soil, and animal waste can quickly degrade metal parts and painted surfaces. Without proper protection, rust forms rapidly, increasing maintenance costs.

Applying a lanolin-based corrosion inhibitor like Prolan Heavy creates a protective barrier that seals metal surfaces from air and moisture, extending equipment lifespan, reducing maintenance, and preserving machinery in better working condition.

Coating the internal framework and underside of equipment with Prolan Heavy allows for pressure cleaning while the lanolin coating remains intact. An annual clean and reapplication ensures reliable corrosion protection.

Applications

  • Fertiliser loaders and spreading equipment, coat chassis and structural components to prevent fertiliser corrosion
  • Boom sprayers and seeding machinery protect exposed metal surfaces and moving components
  • Tractors, ATVs, and farm vehicles. Apply Prolan Extreme as an underbody coating against moisture, salt, and effluent
  • Machinery wash-down protection. apply Prolan Enduro after cleaning the equipment to maintain corrosion protection
  • Bolts, hydraulic fittings, and fasteners, apply Prolan Grease to prevent seizure and corrosion
  • Engine bays and undercarriages. Spray lanolin coating into difficult‑to‑reach areas

Natural Corrosion Protection Designed for Agricultural Environments

Prolan’s lanolin-based corrosion protection products provide long-term protection against rust, moisture and environmental exposure while remaining biodegradable and safe to use around agricultural operations. Unlike traditional petroleum-based inhibitors, Prolan forms a natural barrier that seals metal surfaces from air and moisture, helping prevent corrosion before it begins.

CERTIFICATIONS

NSF H1 - Eurofins drinking water testing - Energex approval - Biodegradability testing - Green Marine environmental standards - Halal and Kosher certification.

TESTIMONIAL

Horticultural Sprayer Protection with Prolan Extreme

“The results speak for themselves. The boom returned to its original condition with no corrosion or parts replacement required. We now apply Prolan annually to protect our machinery and keep it in excellent working condition.”

APPLICATION

Lower Total Cost of Protection

Longer service intervals result in fewer reapplications, reduced labor requirements, less operational downtime, and lower overall product consumption.

When maintenance cycles are extended, site visits become less frequent, and environmental handling exposure is reduced. Protection that lasts longer supports both operational efficiency and long-term sustainability objectives.
