WD-40® is a brand that needs little or no introduction. That, however, may not be entirely correct for the legendary company’s Specialist range of products.
Dressed in distinctive yellow and blue colouring that bears the hallmarks of WD-40, in essence Specialist is a seven-product range of definitive items developed specifically for professional and/or industrial use.
While the company’s iconic Multi-Use Product – or MUP for short – is a superb go to solution for generic handiwork or problem solving, WD-40® Specialist products each have their own special nuances aimed at targeting specific challenges.
WD-40® Specialist Contact Cleaner is a prime example.
Developed for use on even the most intricate of electric circuit boards, Contact Cleaner is a non-conductive spray that provides excellent – and totally safe – cleaning with minimal fuss and removes dirt, dust, condensation and flux residue with ease. Then there’s WD-40® Specialist Penetrant which should be reached for long before a spanner when tackling seized items. Its extremely low surface tension ‘penetrates’ to the core of rusted components and mechanisms and frees seams and tightly bonded threads. It is highly water resistant and displaces moisture that prevents smooth movement and can also be used as a preventative against the future build-up of rust and corrosion.
WD-40® Specialist White Lithium Grease provides industry-leading protection for heavy-duty, metal-to-metal applications. Its thick, water resistant, formula doesn’t run or drip. Similarly, WD-40® Specialist Spray Grease provides almost limitless lubricating uses for all metal applications and provides protection against rust, corrosion and seizing and WD-40® Specialist Silicone is perfect for use for high-pressure equipment and is primarily used when lubricating rubber and plastic parts such as hoses, pipes, plumbing fittings, belts and window seals.
WD-40® Specialist Degreaser is a solvent-based spray that swiftly removes stubborn soiling such as oil, grease, dirt and grime without leaving any residue. Safe on rubber hoses, it makes light work of oil. Users need only spray on the formula and then wipe or rinse away. Finally, WD-40® Specialist Cutting Oil was developed to improve the performance, and extend the life of cutting and drilling equipment by preventing pitting and metal seizures by reducing the heat and damage caused by friction.
Thanks to WD-40’s Smart Straw, which is featured on all Specialist products, when engaged the products can target precise areas with accuracy. ‘Flipped down’, the system then ensures larger areas area easily coated.
