Is Lanoguard safe on rubber and plastics?

Yes, Lanoguard is completely safe to use on rubber and plastics. This premium rustproofing product is specifically formulated to be non-perishing, meaning it will not degrade, damage, or compromise rubber seals, plastic trims, electrical components, or any other non-metal materials on your vehicle. This safety characteristic is one of Lanoguard's most significant advantages over traditional oil-based rustproofing products.

Why Lanoguard is Safe on Rubber and Plastic Components

Lanoguard's safety on rubber and plastic materials stems from its unique composition. Unlike conventional rustproofing products that may contain harsh chemicals or petroleum-based solvents, Lanoguard is primarily composed of natural lanolin – a substance extracted from sheep's wool. This natural base ensures compatibility with all vehicle materials without causing deterioration or chemical reactions.

The non-perishing nature of Lanoguard means it maintains its protective properties without breaking down rubber seals, door gaskets, window seals, plastic trim pieces, or electrical insulation. This is particularly important for modern vehicles that contain numerous rubber and plastic components throughout their construction.

What Makes Lanoguard Different from Other Rustproofing Products

Many traditional rustproofing products contain solvents or petroleum-based compounds that can cause rubber to swell, crack, or deteriorate over time. These products often require extensive masking during application to protect sensitive components, significantly increasing preparation time and labour costs.

Lanoguard eliminates this concern entirely. Its natural lanolin base is inherently compatible with rubber, plastic, and electrical components, meaning no masking is required during application. This not only reduces preparation time but also ensures comprehensive coverage without the risk of missing critical areas due to masking limitations.

Critical Vehicle Components Protected by Lanoguard

Rubber Seals and Gaskets

Modern vehicles contain dozens of rubber seals around doors, windows, bonnets, and boots. These seals are essential for preventing water ingress and maintaining cabin comfort. Lanoguard's safe formulation ensures these seals remain flexible and effective throughout their service life.

Electrical Components and Wiring

Vehicle electrical systems are increasingly complex, with wiring harnesses and electronic control units located throughout the chassis and body. Lanoguard's non-conductive properties and safety on electrical insulation materials make it ideal for comprehensive protection without electrical system concerns.

Plastic Trim and Under-Body Components

Modern vehicles incorporate extensive plastic components in wheel arch liners, under-body panels, and trim pieces. Lanoguard's compatibility with plastics ensures these components remain protected without material degradation.

How Rustec Applies Lanoguard for Maximum Safety and Coverage

At Rustec, our technicians leverage Lanoguard's safety characteristics to provide comprehensive rustproofing coverage. Our application process includes:

Thorough Inspection: We conduct a detailed assessment of your vehicle's condition, identifying all rubber, plastic, and electrical components that will benefit from Lanoguard's protective properties.

Precision Application: Using professional spray equipment, we apply Lanoguard to all accessible surfaces without the time-consuming masking process required by other products. This ensures complete coverage of critical areas while maintaining component integrity.

Quality Assurance: Our systematic application process includes photo documentation, allowing you to see exactly where Lanoguard has been applied and confirming coverage of all vulnerable areas.

Environmental and Health Benefits

Lanoguard's natural composition makes it environmentally friendly and safe for both applicators and vehicle owners. The product is non-toxic and biodegradable, representing a responsible choice for vehicle protection. This environmental consideration aligns with modern automotive maintenance practices that prioritise sustainability without compromising effectiveness.

Long-Term Performance on Rubber and Plastic Materials

The safety of Lanoguard on rubber and plastics extends beyond initial application. Over time, many rustproofing products can cause gradual degradation of non-metal components, leading to premature seal failure or electrical issues. Lanoguard's stable formulation maintains its protective properties while preserving the integrity of all vehicle materials.

This long-term compatibility is particularly important for vehicles subject to harsh operating conditions, such as commercial fleets, agricultural vehicles, or recreational vehicles exposed to extreme environments. The assurance that protective treatment will not compromise other vehicle systems provides peace of mind for vehicle owners and fleet managers.

Professional Application vs DIY Considerations

While Lanoguard's safety on rubber and plastics makes it more forgiving than other rustproofing products, professional application by certified technicians ensures optimal results. Rustec's experienced team understands the specific requirements for different vehicle types and can adjust application techniques accordingly.

Our professional application includes:

• Comprehensive coverage assessment

Addressing Common Concerns

Vehicle owners frequently express concerns about rustproofing products affecting vehicle systems or components. These concerns are understandable, given that some products can indeed cause problems when applied incorrectly or when incompatible with vehicle materials.

Sensor Systems: Modern vehicles incorporate numerous sensors throughout the chassis and body. Lanoguard's non-interfering properties ensure these systems continue to function correctly after treatment.

Warranty Considerations: Lanoguard's safe formulation and proven track record mean it will not void vehicle warranties when properly applied by certified professionals.

Maintenance Compatibility: Future maintenance work is not complicated by Lanoguard application, as the product remains stable and does not interfere with standard automotive repair procedures.
