The Blue Works Industrial Grade Multi-Purpose Lubricant spray contains 11 oz. of lubricant that can be applied to surfaces to reduce friction and protect metal from rust and other corrosion. The lubricant is also commonly used to loosen stuck metal parts, remove grease and grime, silence squeaky components, and displace water to remove moisture from electrical systems, including engines, spark plugs, and power tools. The lubricant formula contains polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for friction reduction and applies as a thin, clear protective coating to minimize staining. The aerosol can has a nozzle that produces a cone-shaped spray for application over large areas.Industrial lubricants can be found in most machinery performing one or more functions, including reducing friction and wear, preventing components from adhering to each other, distributing loads more evenly, dispersing heat away from moving parts, and preventing corrosion. Although many materials are used as lubricants, the most common are oil (also called fluid lubricants) and grease because of their versatility. Oil lubricants contain either a petroleum or synthetic base, the properties of which are modified by the addition of various additives. Grease lubricants, a mixture of oil lubricant and a thickening agent, have a thicker consistency than oil, enabling use wherever liquids cannot be retained and requiring less frequent changes. WD-40 manufactures lubricants, as well as household and industrial cleaners, and is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
