WD-40 is the Trademark name of a lubricant, penetrating oil & water-displacing spray. It was developed in 1953 by Dr Norm Larsen in USA.

"WD-40", abbreviated from the phrase "Water Displace", 40th formula, was originally designed to repel water & prevent corrosion. Picture shown is the latest 277ml embossed can, made in USA.

The long-term active ingredient is a non-volatile, viscous oil which remains on the surface, providing lubrication & protection from moisture.

The 5 Basic Functions

• Lubricates: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold firmly to all movingparts.
• Cleans: WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape, stickers, and excess bonding material.
• Protects: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.
• Penetrates: WD-40 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.
