WD-40 Specialist is a range of products designed for specific jobs in trades and industry – perfect for engineering professionals.

The range has been specifically designed for those more demanding tasks where a specific solution is required to ensure you get the job done right.

There are seven Specialist products in the range including;

  • High Performance Silicone Lubricant – a hard working formula providing excellent lubrication, preventing rust and corrosion on metal, plastic and rubber components.
  • Fast Release Penetrant – a powerful fast acting solution to loosen seized fixings, release corroded parts and remove grime and surface rust
  • High Performance White Lithium Grease – a non-drip heavy duty lubricant that reduces friction on metal to metal applications to keep equipment moving smoothly
  • Fast Acting Degreaser – an effective way to remove grease, oil, dirt and grime without leaving a messy residue; ideal for engines, hand and power tools, machinery and equipment
  • High Performance PTFE Lubricant – a long lasting lubricant that prolongs the life of tools and equipment by reducing friction and wear
  • Fast Drying Contact Cleaner – a fast evaporating formula that penetrates quickly without leaving a residue and is non-conductive, designed specifically for electrical equipment to clean oil, dirt, flux deposits and condensation, so even office equipment can be maintained effectively
  • Anti Friction Dry PTFE Lubricant – a quick drying solution containing PTFE to provide enhanced lubrication whilst reducing friction and wear with the ability to act as a mould release agent

Each product has been tested and performs to the highest industry standards and carries the added benefit of WD-40’s Smart Straw,  a permanent delivery system attached to the can that allows a two way delivery – precise or wide stream application depending on the job at hand. This helps to ensure less mess and ultimately provides cost savings to users.

Teddy Grays, a confectionary manufacturer from the heart of industrial England – the Black Country – has rated the seven new Specialist products as sweet and given them top marks.

Philip Guest is managing director at Teddy Grays, which was established in 1826. The factory, which employs 50 people, operates more than 30 heavy use industrial machines for sweet making and packaging, and has an output of around eight tonnes of sweets a week.

He said: “It is vital that all of our machines are expertly maintained in order to avoid breakdowns. As a medium sized family business time is money – we simply can’t afford to be let down by poor machinery maintenance or breakdown.”

Mr Guest, who has worked in the industry for more than 25 years, used the entire Specialist range on the firm’s machinery and added: “The WD-40 Specialist Degreaser was great at removing oil run off from the machines. It was easy to use, fast acting and long lasting.”

He also likes the added benefit of the Smart Straw application, which is very useful at putting the product exactly where it needed to go without any fuss or mess – extremely important when dealing with food products.

Mr Guest said:  “Like most men of a certain age, I’ve always been familiar with WD-40, it’s good stuff. But now and again you need a little something extra for those particularly difficult jobs, and the Specialist range absolutely fills that gap in the market.”

James Mason, WD-40’s industrial key account manager, said: “It’s great that the products were useful for Mr Guest and his team, it demonstrates the wide versatility of the Specialist range.”

“WD-40 Specialist also delivers key added value to businesses like Teddy Gray’s as the Smart Straw prevents mess through direct application and therefore there’s less wastage which is much more cost effective.”

The range has been ASTM tested and the company’s independent research demonstrates that WD-40 Specialist outperforms the leadings brands.
