PROLAN STOPS SALT WATER CORROSION ON WINDMILL POWER TURBINES
‘Wintech AS is a Danish company – one of the leading companies in Europe specializing in the repair and maintenance of small to medium sized wind turbines. ‘ Where the wind power really started to prosper and expand all over the world’. They have skills and knowledge to completely overhaul gearboxes, generators, hydraulic and electrical systems, which are the heart of these machines. The turbines are subject to corrosion from an extreme salt water environment . Wintech has solved the problem by using Prolan products – the Heavy Grade is sprayed on steel surfaces during maintenance and installation. Prolan is non-conductive to 70 Kv and can be safely used around the electrical components on the wind turbine systems. The Prolan grease is an excellent anti-seize enabling bolts to be undone years later.
‘Wintech’ have seen the huge difference Prolan has made expecially on wind turbines located offshore. For this reason all subcontracted installation teams are asked to use Prolan during re-installation of the wind turbines.

EPOKE’ DENMARK SOLVES SALT SPRAY CORROSION PROBLEM WITH PROLAN
EPOKE DENMARK SOLVES SALT SPRAY CORROSION PROBLEMS WITH PROLAN
‘Epoke’ are world leaders in the manufacture of equipment used to spread salt spray on roads and airports to prevent the formation of ice and combat slippery roads and runways.
‘Prolan’ has provided ‘Epoke’ with an environmentally friendlier, less toxic alternative to copper and aluminum based products for lubrication. Prolan Grease is used during assembly in the production shop all components are easily removed when the service period or maintenance is due.
Prolan Heavy Grade spray is used to coat machinery and cavities where corrosion begins. Prolan has improved the presentation and prolonged the life of machinery and components working in an aggressive environment.
Prolan is safe and easy to apply – staff are using less toxic products.

TOYOTA IN DENMARK CONVERT TO PROLAN
‘TOYOTA’ companies ‘Hanherred & Himmerland Biler’(cars) in ‘Denmark’ who have branches in ‘Aars’, ‘Brovst’ and ‘ Logstor’ continually strive to improve their performance, quality, staff and service, and therefore deliver these to the highest standards. This is now part of their everyday culture which has led ‘Toyota Denmark’ to achieve Environmental Certification DS/EN ISO 14001.
Denrex’s salesman ‘Niels Bilde’ demonstrated ‘Prolan’s’ performance to the team and subsequently they started testing. They quickly saw many of the advantages ‘Prolan’ had at the garage and very shortly after that recommended it to other branches. They found ‘ Prolan’ could be used for many tasks and issues – this reduced multiple stock holdings of other products.
PROLAN PERFORMS WELL ON GT BARRIER ISLAND, NZ
Prolan has been used over the years on Great Island -a small island 90km off the Coast of NZ. The performance of ‘Prolan Enduro Heavy Grade’ and ‘Prolan anti-seize grease’ is excellent in this highly corrosive, exposed coastal island. Prolan protects trailers, tractors, machinery – saving valuable assets and protects the environment.
Please read the testimonial below from one of Prolan’s customers for many years:
As discussed how “Little Toot” the Kubota tractor looks after 10 years launching the boat here on Gt Barrier Island, NZ.
PROLAN PERFORMS WELL ON STAINLESS STEEL TEA STAINING PROBLEMS
It’s ‘Stainless’ not ‘Non-Stain’
BY ADMINNZ ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2012
As Grahame Ansley, one of Anzor’s directors likes to say, stainless steel is ‘stainless’ not ‘non-stain’.Yes stainless steel is corrosion resistant, but depending on a range of factors – the grade, the environment, exposure to rainwater, the surface finish, etc; stainless steel products may be subject to ‘tea staining’ (surface rust) or rusting. Therefore they may require regular cleaning to reduce the risk of this happening.
Have a look at the photo below. It shows a stainless steel tube structure supporting a canopy. It is 3km from the coast, so not particularly close to the sea. You will see that the stainless tube directly below the canopy is obviously tea staining (see B) but the legs are not. Why? Because the canopy is sheltering the tube from rainwater, not allowing it to be washed. This means salt and pollutants build up, eventually damaging the chromium oxide layer that protects the stainless steel, and causing tea staining.
PROLAN PERFORMS WELL ON GT BARRIER ISLAND, NZ
Great Barrier Island 90 km off the coast of New Zealand is exposed to the harsh rigours of a coastal salt water environment. ‘Prolan Enduro Heavy Grade’ and ‘anti-seize grease’ perform well in this environment – and have protected assets of customers living on the island for many years.
