Description and Fields of Application
WD-40 Specialist High Performance PTFE Lubricant is a specific formulation enriched with Polytetrafluoroethylene, designed to meet the most demanding lubrication needs in industrial, artisanal, and domestic settings. It provides superior lubrication, reducing friction and preventing premature wear of moving components. It is ideal for routine and extraordinary maintenance of mechanical couplings, gears, and work tools exposed to heavy stress or to atmospheric agents and humidity.
Exclusive Benefits
- PTFE anti-friction factor: Significantly reduces friction and wear, optimizing the sliding and efficiency of mechanisms.
- Corrosion Protection: Leaves an active barrier that shields metals from water, moisture, oxidation and rust.
- Exceptional Thermal Resistance: Maintains its lubricating properties unchanged over an extremely wide temperature range, from -20°C to +250°C .
- Extends the Life of Tools: By reducing mechanical stress when cold and hot, it preserves the precision of tools and machinery over time.
- Dual Position Dispenser System: Allows you to instantly switch from a wide mist to a fine, targeted application thanks to the integrated straw, eliminating spills and waste.
Material Compatibility and Safety
This lubricant boasts an extremely versatile and safe formula for multi-material applications. It is fully compatible with:
- All types of metals and alloys.
- Glass and vitrified surfaces.
- Vinyl, plastic and rubber elements, without risk of deformation or swelling.
Examples of Use and Recommended Applications
The product is particularly recommended for the lubrication of:
- Axles, drive shafts and cranks.
- Bearings, bushings, slide guides and conveyor belts.
- Power tools, precision tools, blades and drill bits.
- Gears, cogwheels, winches and wire ropes.
- Hydraulic components and mechanisms exposed to water or constant humidity.
- Gardening equipment, outdoor furniture, and hedge trimmers.
How to Use
- Before application, shake the aerosol can vigorously to evenly distribute the PTFE particles in the mixture.
- Pre-clean the surface to be treated to remove any build-up of dirt or old grease.
- Spray directly onto the affected area.
- Choose the raised precision straw to get into hard-to-reach spots or micro-mechanisms, or keep the straw lowered to cover large surfaces.
