Maintenance solutions

Start with the problem—not the product name.

The right solution depends on the mechanism, load, contamination, environment and outcome you need.

Selection principle

Define the failure mode first.

Then choose chemistry and application method around it.

Use a penetrating product that reaches corrosion and leaves lubrication behind.

Create a persistent barrier on exposed chains, springs, tools and machinery.

Support clean stripping and protect steel, timber and plastic formwork.

Keep a high-tack film on chainsaw and harvester bars and chains.

Balance wet-weather durability with a cleaner, easier-to-maintain chain.

Reach chain interfaces and protect through planned production cycles.

Free, lubricate and protect threads, pivots and moving joints.

Sanitise while helping preserve lubrication and corrosion protection on metal.

Remove grease and grime with a high-glycerine plant-based soap.

Food-related maintenance

Breakout F-CLP, Chainsaw Bar Lube, Concrete Form Oil and the Hand, Tool & Surface Sanitiser carry stated New Zealand MPI approvals. The approval code, conditions of use and site sanitation procedures must be reviewed for the intended task.

“Food-grade” does not remove the need for correct application, cleaning and equipment maintenance.
