Choosing Action Can
Match the product to the job: all-round lubrication and moisture displacement, freeing a seized part, lasting lubrication of a moving part, metal cutting, or cleaning an electrical contact.
Multi-purpose and penetrating
AC-90 lubricates, penetrates, displaces moisture, protects against corrosion and cleans, and AC-90 contains no silicone. It is sold as the 701.412UK 250ml can, the 701.410UK 500ml TwinSpray and the 701.413UK 5L pack supplied with a trigger spray. For a stubborn seized or corroded fastener, RP-90 penetrating oil adds MoS2 and leaves a lubricating film for easier reassembly.
Oils, greases and pastes
SL-90 is a lubricating oil with PTFE and EP additives, rated -35°C to +200°C. CD-90 penetrates chain linkage and thickens to an adherent film with anti-corrosion additives, rated -15°C to +150°C. WG-90 is an NLGI 2 white calcium grease for wet conditions, rated -10°C to +120°C, and CS-90 copper paste stops threaded fasteners seizing and galling.
Cutting and cleaning
CT-90 is a cutting fluid for cutting, tapping, drilling and reaming metal, including stainless steel. EC-90 is a non-conductive contact cleaner that evaporates without residue and needs no rinsing or wiping, for switches and delicate electronic components.

Frequently asked questions
What is AC-90 used for?
AC-90 is a multi-purpose lubricant that lubricates moving parts, penetrates and frees seized parts and fasteners, displaces moisture to stop damp-induced faults, protects against corrosion and cleans off grease, heavy oil and wax. AC-90 contains no silicone and is for use with tools, equipment and components in the garden, garage, workshop and home.
What sizes is AC-90 sold in?
AC-90 is sold as the 701.412UK 250ml can, the 701.410UK 500ml can with a TwinSpray button, and the 701.413UK 5L pack supplied with a trigger spray. The TwinSpray button on the 701.410UK is designed to reduce waste and improve safety. AC-90 itself first entered the DIY and industrial market in 1985.
Which product frees a seized bolt?
RP-90 Rapid Penetrating Oil is made for it: RP-90 seeps through rust and corrosion to release seized and corroded threaded fasteners, then leaves a lubricating film with MoS2 for easier reassembly. RP-90 is safe to use on metals, plastic, paint and rubber. AC-90 also penetrates and releases seized parts as part of its multi-purpose role.
Which Action Can products are silicone-free?
AC-90, RP-90 and CS-90 are silicone-free: AC-90 and RP-90 do not contain silicone, and CS-90 copper paste contains no lead or silicone. SP-90 is the opposite, a silicone-based lubricant that leaves a dry film to prevent sticking, fusing and moisture ingress. Check the product before using it near surfaces that will be painted.
Should I use a grease or an oil?
Use a grease where the lubricant has to stay in place under water or load, and an oil where it has to creep into a joint. WG-90 is an NLGI 2 white calcium grease with very low water washout, rated -10°C to +120°C, while SL-90 is a PTFE-reinforced oil that penetrates and then thickens into a wear-resistant film, rated -35°C to +200°C.
Which lubricant suits chains and drives?
CD-90 Chain and Drive Lubricant. CD-90 penetrates and cleans the chain linkage, then thickens to a film with excellent adherence and strong anti-fling properties. CD-90 has EP additives for extreme pressure and anti-corrosion additives to protect components in damp conditions, and it is rated -15°C to +150°C.
Can EC-90 be used on electrical contacts?
Yes. EC-90 is made for switches, contacts and delicate electronic and electrical components: it removes deposits and tarnish, evaporates quickly without residue and needs no rinsing or wiping. EC-90 is non-conductive and is safe to use on all metals and on most rubbers, plastics and coatings. Isolate the circuit before cleaning.
What is cutting and tapping fluid for?
CT-90 is a cutting lubricant for cutting, tapping, drilling and reaming metal, including stainless steel. CT-90 reduces friction and cutting time, removes heat, prevents sticking, extends tool life and improves the surface finish of the work. It is the 701.414UK, a 500ml 4-in-1 metal lubricant.
What is copper anti-seize paste used for?
CS-90 copper paste coats threaded fasteners so they do not seize, gall or strip, even at high temperature, and can be taken apart after long service intervals. CS-90 is non-hardening, non-dripping and water resistant, with a high copper content and inhibitors against rust and corrosion. CS-90 comes in a 500g pack.
What is SP-90 silicone lubricant used for?
SP-90 is a precision silicone lubricant that leaves a dry film, so it lubricates and reduces friction without staining surfaces. SP-90 prevents sticking, fusing and moisture ingress, is solvent-free and is rated -50°C to +200°C. SP-90 is safe for use on all metals and most rubbers.
