In 1953, a fledgling company called Rocket Chemical Company and its staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry, in a small lab in San Diego, California.
It took them 40 attempts to get the water displacing formula worked out. But they must have been really good, because the original secret formula for WD-40®-which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th try-is still in use today.
Water Displacement - 40th Attempt
WD-40 stands for water displacement and 40 is the number of times it took to get the correct solution/ fluid/spray to make water displacement
WD-40 disperses moisture.
The symbol for WD-40 Company in NASDAQ is: WDFC.
WD-40 is not exactly a lubricant, it displaces water (Water Displacement = WD). There are much better options. Plus, WD-40 could harm the bluing/finish on a firearm.
WD-40 Company (WDFC) had its IPO in 1973.
Probably. There's not much WD-40 can't do.
Water Displacer
Yes, WD-40 does contain silicon. It is one of the ingredients used in the formulation of WD-40's lubricating spray.
WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula.
WD-40 can have harmful effects on plants if sprayed directly on them. The chemicals in WD-40 can disrupt leaf membranes, leading to wilting, browning, and ultimately harming the plant. It is important to avoid using WD-40 near plants or on gardening tools that come in contact with plants.
