About Us
Thermoskin is a sheep care product developed by industrial chemist, Henry King of Down Under Technologies, after 5 years of research and trials in various parts of Australia. It is a lanolin based liquid that forms a fine environmentally friendly, totally natural film over freshly shorn sheep to keep them warm and help maintain the pre-shorn condition. Applying it is simple through a portable automatic spray unit.
- Henry has operated his own business since 1978 and has formulated and manufactured products for a diverse range of companies including multi-national corporations.
- He is extremely practical in his analysis and production of products due to his understanding of the commercial process.
- He has been associated with the sheep breeding industry for over 25 years and learned about the problems they face.
- He continues to look for cost effective, innovative ways to improve productivity and help farmers achieve better returns.
- Thermoskin Plus has been developed with an additive for protection from sunburn which is only made to order. The sunscreen active is expensive and requires a different method of manufacture which increases the cost of this version.
