WD-40 Specialist Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor Spray, 6.5 oz.

The WD-40 Specialist Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor spray contains 6.5 oz. of lubricant that protects metal surfaces from rust and other corrosion and reduces friction. It blocks rust and other corrosion for up to 2 years when used indoors and for up to 1 year when used outdoors. Recommended for preventative maintenance and for protection in corrosive environments, such as highly humid atmospheres, this lubricant is non-drying and won’t run. The 6.5 oz. aerosol canister has a nozzle that dispenses lubricant in a fan spray for quick application over large areas. The detached straw can be inserted into the nozzle to create a precision stream of lubricant for controlled application and fastens to the notched cap for secure storage when not in use.

Industrial lubricants can be found in most machinery performing one or more functions, including reducing friction and wear, preventing components from adhering to each other, distributing loads more evenly, dispersing heat away from moving parts, and preventing corrosion. Although many materials are used as lubricants, the most common are oil (also called fluid lubricants) and grease because of their versatility. Oil lubricants contain either a petroleum or synthetic base, the properties of which are modified by the addition of various additives. Grease lubricants, a mixture of oil lubricant and a thickening agent, have a thicker consistency than oil, enabling use wherever liquids cannot be retained and requiring less frequent changes.

WD-40 manufactures lubricants, and household and industrial cleaners. The company is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
