Brand Details
Type: Product
Description: WD-40 is an American brand of penetrating oil that was originally developed to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion. The name is an abbreviation of "Water Displacement, 40th formula," reflecting its creation after 40 attempts. While primarily known as a water displacer, it also acts as a lubricant, rust preventive, and penetrant. Although specialized products exist that may outperform WD-40 in specific applications, its versatility makes it a popular multi-purpose product with over 2,000 reported uses. These uses range from lubricating squeaky hinges and sticky drawers to cleaning power tools and preventing rust on vehicles.
