What is WD40 for?

• 100mL spray: small to carry in the toolbox or glove compartment.
• 200mL spray: it is a multipurpose format to use at home, for example.
• 400mL spray: it is for more frequent use of the product on hinges, gears, etc.
• 500mL spray: this format is double action, that is, it allows the product to be applied in large or small areas, with precision.
• 5L carafe: this presentation is accompanied by a refillable atomizer, for an easier application.
• 25L drum: covers the amount required to treat large-scale industrial equipment.

What is WD-40 for?

WD-40 can be applied by three main methods: by aerosol or spray , by brush or by dipping the part in the liquid product. This can be used on metal, plastic or rubber surfaces. These include: acetal, neoprene, HDPE, polysulfone copolymer PPS, Teflon, galvanized steel, copper, steel or copper, magnesium, brass, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc.

The WD-40 is used for:

• Lubricate moving parts , such as: hinges, bearings, chains, gears.
• Protect surfaces against rust and corrosion . This is achieved by preventing moisture from coming into contact with them.
• Free jammed parts such as: nuts, padlocks and pistons.
• Cleaning chrome and other metal surfaces : removes adhesives and paint residues.
• Displace moisture from electrical panels, spark plugs and other electrical materials.

WD-40 Properties

WD-40 has physical and chemical properties that make it a unique product, functional under certain conditions and friendly to the environment. Its features include:

• Appearance: it is a clear amber liquid, which is less distinguishable as it is particulate in aerosol, but which is noticeable when in contact with the surface to be treated.
• Aroma: it has a pleasant aroma that characterizes it and differentiates it from other products.
• Flash point: 47 ° C
• Hair weight: 004 g / cm ³
• Capillary thickness: 5 μm
• Operating temperature: between -50 ° C and 150 ° C. That is, it is capable of working in a range of 200 ° C.
• Boiling point: 176 ° C at 1 atm (760mmHg)
• Melting or freezing point: -66 ° C
• Yield: between 15 and 26 m ² for each liter of product.
• Dielectric strength: 43000 volts
• Solubility: WD-40 is insoluble in water

Uses of WD-40

Listed below are the different uses of WD-40 that can be applied in media such as:

• Automotive
• Industry
• Nautical
• Domestic
• Electricity
• Aviation
• farming

tomobiles , WD-40 can be used as a penetrating agent to loosen nuts and bolts in exhaust systems, brakes, and any other area that has a blockage. The ignition circuit, and in general the electrical circuit of the vehicle, can be treated with this product to eliminate moisture. This will ensure complete conductivity.

In industry , a coat of WD-40 will maintain and protect all parts against rust and corrosion . Precision machinery and equipment can be kept in perfect working order with regular applications of WD-40. Mold injection machines can be kept corrosion free and facilitate excellent mold release.

In nautical , a quick application of WD-40 on the engine and accessories before storing the boat for a long time, will ensure that all the elements work perfectly. All types of motors exposed to high humidity conditions will perform without problems with constant maintenance of the WD-40. The product film will protect the boat.

At home , WD-40 will be responsible for cleaning and protecting all kinds of equipment, such as ski hooks, fishing reels, bicycles, skates, motorcycles, door hinges, swivel chairs, rails in sliding doors, tools, locks, faucets, drawers, and many other systems that involve movement.

In the field of electricity , WD-40 is used to periodically lubricate all types of switches. Its moisture displacing and dielectric properties make it the ideal agent to fix and prevent short circuits in electrical panels and elements.

In aviation , since WD-40 was primarily developed for the aerospace and aeronautical industry, it serves to maintain the landing gear and wheel well, emergency generators, and other parts of the aircraft to prevent corrosion and corrosion. ensure its operation.

In the middle of agriculture , WD-40 protects the material of plows, irrigation systems and other equipment from harsh environmental conditions. Helps prevent the generation of rust on machinery and tools that are left out in the open. Lubricates and protects without attracting dirt, dust or grit as it does not contain silicone.

Although WD-40 is not a harmful product in contact with the skin, it must be kept out of the reach of children. In case a minor is going to use it, it must be under the supervision of an adult.
