INOX

[dashx]

This is an Austalian product that is available in Canada through a distributor in BC. I first used it in Australia when I was in Air North's hangar in Darwin. I bought the product through the distributor in BC and have used it here )In addition to the LPS line of products)

Has anyone else used this product with positive results?

Inox can be used as a kind of do all, but that dosen't mean that it does all things well. In Australia we would cut it with other oils and greases to help lube piano hinges and buried bearings that were dragging as a method of nursing them through to replacement. It acted as the carrier fluid and showed no real signs of breaking down further when mixed. Sprayed onto a cold piston enigne before salt water/air ops seemed to prevent rust and corrosion and as a general nut/bolt lubricant for seized parts it worked well because it was cheaper than WD40. I've also seen it sprayed inside structure to coat the skin. When it dries out it leaves behind an oily (waxy?) residue that prevents corrosion but didn't interfere with electrical bonding, so they claim. It's greatest claim to fame was in freeing up rusted fastners. It can be heated quite high without it flashing off like sprays,etc , but it's not that great that I'd purchase it if WD40 is the same or better price.

I haven't used the Inox, but I have always understood that WD-40 should not be used around aircraft, and in fact anything that you don't want to corrode. As I understand, it penetrates and loosens the stuck pieces because it is actually quite corrosive. That is why you will usually see products like L.P.S. or Mouse Milk used. I have seen what WD-40 does to old tools or body tin when you leave it applied. I avoid using it on my own stuff, vehicles etc. but that is just my $0.02

The Air North mechanics (amongst other things) sprayed the cannon plugs (pins) with Inox. They said it displaced moisture and lasted longer than other products.
