INOX
Tough, Reliable, Ready for Work
Since 1989, INOX has delivered specialist lubricant solutions that penetrate seized parts, displace moisture, reduce friction, and prevent rust across workshops, job sites, and marine environments.
Manufactured by Candan Industries in Queensland — 12+ purpose-built products from everyday maintenance to heavy industry.
Our Heritage
Engineered for Australia
INOX is a proud, wholly Australian-made and Australian-owned company. Produced right here for over 35 years, INOX lubricants were specifically engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of the unique Australian climate — from coastal salt spray to harsh inland dust and heat.
The Range
Purpose-Built for Every Job
Each formula is engineered to free stuck components, protect metal surfaces, and deliver consistent, long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
Whether it’s a food-grade spray lubricant, heavy-duty industrial grease, lanolin-based spray, a dry film lubricant, or even a chain lubricant and brake cleaner — INOX has all the bases covered.

Got Questions?
- Prepare: Clean off dust, dirt and old residue for good contact.
- Select spray: Use wide mist for coverage or the straw for precise spots.
- Light application: Apply a thin, even coat to the part (hinges, locks, chains, fasteners, cables, tools, tracks, etc.).
- Work it in: Operate the mechanism (open/close, rotate, cycle) to aid penetration and lubrication.
- Let it shield: INOX leaves a light corrosion-inhibiting film that helps block moisture and rust.
- Top up as required: Reapply periodically in harsh or marine conditions for ongoing protection.
INOX uses an oil-based formula that doesn’t dry out, wash off, gum up or go sticky, so it keeps lubricating and protecting long after application — rain, hail or shine.
Yes, INOX can be safely used on O rings and seals because it does not contain silicon, kerosene, or harmful solvents that degrade rubber. It helps lubricate and condition rubber components while preventing cracking and drying over time. This makes it ideal for maintaining seals in plumbing, automotive, and industrial equipment where long term flexibility and protection against moisture and corrosion are important.
No, INOX does not dry out over time. Unlike many lubricants that evaporate or leave behind a sticky residue, INOX remains as a non drying film that continues to lubricate and protect surfaces. This long lasting layer helps prevent rust, reduces friction, and maintains performance in harsh environments. Because it stays active, it often requires less frequent reapplication compared to traditional sprays.
Yes, INOX is safe for electrical connectors in marine environments because it is non conductive and effectively displaces moisture. It forms a protective barrier that helps prevent corrosion caused by saltwater exposure, which is a major issue in marine applications. By protecting contacts and terminals, INOX helps maintain reliable electrical performance while extending the lifespan of components exposed to harsh coastal or offshore conditions.
