WD-40 can be used on just about everything. It is safe for metal, rubber, wood and plastic. WD-40 can be applied to painted metal surfaces without harming the paint. Polycarbonate and clear polystyrene plastic are among the few surfaces on which to avoid using a petroleum-based product like WD-40.7 places to never use WD-40 — you'll be surprised
Hinges. A lubricant being sprayed on a door hinge.
Bike chains. Someone cleaning a bike chain with a cloth.
Locks.
Polycarbonate and clear polystyrene plastic.
Sensitive electronics.
Wax polishes and some wax coatings.
Anything that comes into contact with food.
Amorphous polymers like polycarbonate, polystyrenes, and PVC are the kind that are vulnerable to WD-40-based erosion. These are the kinds of plastics you'd find in things like plastic cutlery, baby bottles, optical discs, and LCD screens. If you spray these things with WD-40, they're going to break down.
Is WD-40 carcinogenic : Unfortunately, the workers using WD-40 day in, day out, were likely exposed to benzene, a cancer-causing toxin that was present in WD-40. Since World War II, benzene has been known to cause cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Is WD-40 good for plastic and rubber
WD-40 Specialist® Silicone Lubricant safely lubricates, resists water and protects metal and non-metal surfaces such as rubber, plastic and vinyl.
Does WD-40 damage uPVC : Don't use white spirits, methylated spirits or WD40 to clean uPVC frames or doors. It will permanently damage the surface of the uPVC.
From experience WD-40 has never corroded metal when used by me on various jobs around the shop. It's good for cleaning grime and loosening sticking joints on metal. Lubricants based on silicone, perfluorinated PFAE, mineral oils, and synthetic hydrocarbons (SHC or PAO), typically work well with plastics. Esters and polyglycols are generally not compatible with plastic, although there are exceptions based on the type of plastic material.
Why is WD-40 banned in Canada
Thankfully for Canadian DIY aficionados from St. John's to Vancouver, this alleged news is completely false. In a statement from WD-40 itself: "It has recently come to our attention that false information is circulating online that WD-40® Brand products are being banned in Canada. This is not a true statement.No. It displaces water (WD = Water Displacing) from engine ignition components and breaks rust free. It does not leave a lubricant and, in fact, will remove whatever oil residue is on the tool, making them rust FASTER.Once applied, it withstands temperature ranges from -100°F to 500°F. Safe to use on multiple surfaces including metals, plastic and rubber. Even though our plastic components don't require any external lubricants, people still want to know if they can use WD-40 or another lubricant on them. This article is intended to emphasize that absolutely no lubrication is required for our lead screw nuts; however, you can still use the WD-40 or OKS400 if you'd like.
Does WD-40 react with PVC : WD-40 can help to loosen PVC pipes that are stuck together. It can also help to protect PVC pipes from corrosion.
Is WD-40 corrosive to paint : The individual components in WD-40 can be harmful to paintwork. The isoparaffinic aliphatic hydrocarbons, for example, are very similar to kerosene.
Is WD-40 a rust inhibitor
WD-40 Specialist Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor is an anti-rust spray ideal for preventative maintenance and use in extreme environments such as high humidity. It provides non-drying protection that stays where you spray it. Silicone-based lubricants such as PFAE, most synthetic hydrocarbons (SHC or PAO) and mineral oils work well with plastics.All WD-40 Company products including WD-40® Multi-Use Product, WD-40 Specialist®, and 3-IN-ONE® brands will be compliant with the new regulations as of January 1, 2024.
How hazardous is WD-40 : Extremely Flammable Aerosol. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
