Article: The Difference Between GPX, MGX and HD and When to Use Each

The Difference Between GPX, MGX and HD and When to Use Each

Choosing the right product makes all the difference when it comes to protection, lubrication and corrosion prevention. LANOTEC offers three core formulations, and each one is designed for a specific environment and workload. All three are lanolin based which means long lasting protection and a safer alternative to petroleum sprays. However, they are not the same and knowing when to use each one will help you get the best results.

LANOTEC GPX General Purpose

LANOTEC GPX is the most versatile of the three. It is ideal for everyday applications on vehicles, tools, trailers, machinery and around the home or workshop. GPX is designed to lubricate, displace moisture and protect metals and moving parts from corrosion.
GPX is the best choice for:

  • 4WDs and caravans

  • Work trailers and farm equipment

  • Hinges, locks and sliding components

  • Tools and workshop machinery

LANOTEC MGX Marine Grade

LANOTEC MGX contains a higher level of lanolin for extreme salt and moisture environments. It forms a thicker protective barrier that stands up to salt spray, coastal air and constant water exposure.
MGX is the best choice for:

  • Boat trailers and marine equipment

  • Beach driving and winches

  • Jet skis, outboards and fishing gear

  • Any metal exposed to salt water

If you drive on the beach, store equipment near the coast or work on the water, MGX will give you the strongest long term protection.

LANOTEC HD Heavy Duty

LANOTEC HD is the most robust product in the range. It is designed for heavy machinery, industrial equipment and applications where long term corrosion prevention and lubrication are essential.
HD is the best choice for:

  • Excavators and earthmoving equipment

  • Mining and construction gear

  • Agricultural machinery

  • Industrial applications that demand durability

HD stays in place under harsh conditions and protects equipment that is used outdoors and under load.

Quick comparison to help you decide

Product Best environment Typical use
GPX General use Vehicles, trailers, tools and workshop
MGX Marine and coastal Boats, beach driving and salt exposed metal
HD Industrial and heavy duty Machinery and equipment under extreme use

The bottom line

All three LANOTEC products provide strong protection. The right one depends on the environment and workload. GPX is the most universal. MGX is the marine specialist. HD is the industrial powerhouse.
