FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do WD-40® Brand products help protect raw metal during fabrication?

WD-40 Brand solutions are built to protect exposed metal from flash rust and corrosion throughout the fabrication process. Products like WD-40 Specialist® Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor form a durable, protective layer that shields steel parts during cutting, grinding, storage, or transport—without interfering with downstream welding or painting.

Can WD-40® Brand products help reduce equipment wear in high-heat metalworking environments?

Absolutely. WD-40 Specialist® lubricants, like White Lithium Grease and Dry Lube, are engineered to withstand heavy loads and high temperatures. They reduce friction on sliding surfaces, way covers, and guides—helping extend equipment life and minimize unplanned downtime in welding bays, press areas, and CNC cells.

Are WD-40® Brand products safe to use around welding, cutting, or sensitive electronics?

Yes. Many WD-40 Brand products are non-conductive and fast-drying, making them safe for use on circuit boards, control panels, and automated systems. For welding prep, WD-40 Specialist® Industrial-Strength Degreaser removes oils and grime without leaving residue, helping ensure clean, reliable welds and safe work areas.
