WD-40 Company, maker of WD-40 Multi-Use Product, is introducing WD-40 Specialist – a new line of best-in-class specialty products formulated to give trade professionals the performance they need to get their specific jobs done right.  

WD-40 Specialist LineThe new WD-40 Specialist line consists of five products: Rust Release Penetrant Spray; Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant; Protective White Lithium Grease; Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor; and Rust Remover Soak.  

“Trade professionals need products that work for specialized jobs and the WD-40 Specialist product line is a great arsenal to help them do their jobs better,” said Dr. Ernest Bernarducci, vice president of research and technology at WD-40 Company.  “Of course, with jobs that aren’t so specialized, you can always trust the product that’s been used for nearly 60 years for thousands of tasks – WD-40 Multi-Use Product.”

Developed at the WD-40 Company Research and Development Center, all of the new WD-40 Specialist products are 50-state VOC compliant. The company reports that all of the products have proven more effective in key performance areas than leading competitors in ASTM and other industry accepted test methods:

• Rust Release Penetrant Spray – With Blu Torch Technology, it penetrates rust 50 percent faster than the leading competitor and also helps prevent rust and corrosion.


• Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant – Dries fast and doesn’t leave a mess – it even waterproofs and protects moving parts better than leading competitors.


• Protective White Lithium Grease – Ideal for metal-to-metal applications and provides long-lasting lubrication and unbeatable, superior protection. 


• Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor – Outperforms the competition and protects metal from corrosion for up to one year outdoors and two years indoors. 
• Rust Remover Soak – Made with biodegradable ingredients and a non-toxic formula, it restores rusted metal parts back to bare metal.
