Thread: Removing Inox MX4 lanolin from cast iron

Others might know more but I'd try a small test on another metal using isopropyl.

Acetone

Dengue, if you are worried about the cast iron being "porous" and that by using a solvent you may be allowing the Inox to penetrate more deeply into the cast iron, don't fret. Cast iron is not porous, however the surface may well have a surface roughness that may make removing some of the Inox difficult.

As with most "proprietary" formulations the MSDS does nor give much away, other than Butane & Propane are the propellant vehicle used, some Keytone & the rest is "secret." Found this for you, at - Engineering - Inox Lubricants

"Spray INOX-MX3 on ferrous steel welds (especially on jobs built outside in the open air) to protect against rust forming until painting or powder coating is done. INOX-MX3 can be painted over with oil based primers without first removing the INOX-MX3 coating.Once cleaned with white spirits, INOX-MX3 is compatible with powder coating. INOX-MX3 and LANOX-MX4 is easily removed with INOX-MX11 or most mineral based solvents.
INOX-MX3 and LANOX-MX4 will not harm painted, enamelled and powder coated surfaces or finishes."


MX11 according to the MSDS is mostly Tetrachloroethylene (dry cleaning fluid or also known as perchloroethylene)
