“Nature’s Secret Weapon”
AWARD WINNING NATURAL HIGH PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT
As more companies address the use of chemicals in their supply chain, and want to improve their sustainability credentials, this unbeatable high quality range of lubricants is a popular choice for many businesses. 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. Products are available in four viscosities, from medium grade to extreme grade.
THE BENEFITS OF PROLAN
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 & SAFER 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 nontoxic, non-carcinogenic and biodegradable – making them safe for the environment and good for health and well-being.
NON-TOXIC, FOOD & WATER SAFE
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 ‘foodgrade 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.

REVIEWS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO KEEP THE RUST AT BAY
“The product gives a good coverage when warm and thickens when it cools to leave a thick protection layer which easily lasts a year and stays on under normal pressure washing. I highly recommend this product to keep the rust at bay and will continue to use it in the future.”
Jason Garrard
NATURE’S SECRET WEAPON
“I use this product to rust-proof my vehicles, having tested it last year with outstanding results. I no longer use petroleum wax based anti rust products, as they can’t match the performance.”
William Green
GREAT FOR TRACTORS
“I sprayed Prolan Medium Grade to the areas of the rear linkage that were sticking. This helped free off these parts, reducing the noise when operating, and protecting from future corrosion. I used Prolan Heavy Grade to protect against the elements, and prevent moisture entering the electrical contacts.”
Simon Rickshaw
FANTASTIC PRODUCT, NO NEED TO USE ANYTHING ELSE
“I have used other products but this is by far the best and easiest to use. Goes on easy, I used a spray bottle. It’s light brown colour, when sprayed on it drys leaving a waxy finish.”
David Hines
APPLICATION ADVICE
Prolan lubricants are easy and safe to apply by either using an aerosol, trigger pack sprayer, paint brush or simply wiping onto surfaces as required by the type of viscosity.
IDEAL FOR A WHOLE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES & USES
AGRICULTURE
Great for preserving, lubricating and protecting all agricultural equipment such as tractors, ploughs, sprayers, fertiliser spreaders, 4WD’s. Protects against fertiliser corrosion and manure. Ideal for a whole variety of uses on the farm.
PLANT & OFF ROAD
Prolan has a unique formula which allows the high capillary action to penetrate into moving parts and double chassis skins that are especially vulnerable to corrosion, forming a thick and durable anti-corrosive layer. Ideal for vehicle and machinery chassis and wiring systems. It allows its natural water-repelling properties to help protect vehicles from water, mud and corrosive chemicals.
MARINE
Prolan is excellent on boats, trailers, inside boat motors (eliminates deterioration of rubber and wiring components), fishing gear and any aluminium or stainless steel fittings.
