WD-40® is an all purpose liquid for displacing moisture, corrosion control, lubrication, cleaning and penetration. It has the ability to penetrate the minute grain boundaries on all metals. Although not essentially a lubricant, WD-40® is regularly used to lubricate all light machinery and electrical equipment. Protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck or jammed parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just about anything. It is also great when it comes to cleaning grease, grime, and other marks from most surfaces.
WD-40® is a mixture of chemical concentrates suspended in a high grade petroleum distillate. It will not affect fabrics, rubbers or plastics. Its working temperature is between -100° F and +500° F. Thoroughly recommended to clean, preserve and protect all tools.
The Five Basic Functions:
CLEANS: gets under dirt, marks and grease, making it easy to wipe them away. It also dissolves adhesives, allowing the easy removal of labels, tape, and stickers.
PROTECTS: metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.
LUBRICATES: lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed, and hold firmly to all moving parts.
PENETRATES: loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts.
DISPLACES MOISTURE: Because WD-40® displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits. (Remember to turn the power off before you spray).
