WD-40 Specialist Products

WD-40 Specialist products are spray cans from WD-40's Specialist range, each with a Smart Straw for a precise or wide spray. They cover cleaning, loosening, lubricating and degreasing: a Fast Drying Contact Cleaner for electrical and electronic parts, a Fast Release Penetrant for seized fixings, a Silicone Lubricant, the 701.329UK White Lithium Grease and a Fast Acting Degreaser. The degreaser comes in a 500ml can and the other four in 400ml cans.

Choosing WD-40 Specialist Products

Start from the problem: dirty contacts, a fixing that will not turn, a part that sticks, or built-up grease.

Dirty electrical contacts

Reach for the 701.321UK Fast Drying Contact Cleaner on circuit boards, switches, printers and other delicate parts of electrical and electronic kit that are hard to access. Because it penetrates rapidly and dries quickly, it is safe for sensitive electrical equipment, and it lifts flux residue, condensation, dust, dirt and oil while leaving nothing behind.

Fixings that will not turn

The 701.323UK Fast Release Penetrant works its way into awkward spots to release fixings that have seized, stuck or rusted over time. It is recommended for nuts and bolts, screws, locks, pipes and taps. The 701.323UK is highly resistant to water and withstands temperatures of -20°C to +90°C.

Parts that stick, and metal joints

The 701.325UK Silicone Lubricant uses a high-performance silicone formula that prevents sticking and repels moisture and dirt without staining, on rubber components, high-pressure equipment, plumbing fittings, fishing reels, garage door runners and UPVC latches; the 701.325UK resists -35°C to +200°C. For metal against metal, the 701.329UK White Lithium Grease has a non-drip formula suited to load-bearing connections and to greasing tow bars, water pumps, car door hinges and bearings, and the 701.329UK covers -18°C to +145°C.

Built-up grease

The 701.327UK Fast Acting Degreaser, a solvent-based cleaner in a 500ml can, starts working the moment it lands, shifting grime, dirt, oil and grease with no residue and rinsing away easily. Use it on metal, flooring and exhaust hoods, or on engines, hand and power tools, stainless steel hobs, chains and gear mechanisms, and industrial machinery.

The 360° valve

Every can here also has a 360° valve. On the 701.321UK, 701.323UK and 701.327UK it lets you spray with the can upright or upside down, and on the 701.329UK in any position.

Frequently asked questions

What is WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner used for?

WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner is used to clean dirt, dust, oil and flux residue off electrical and electronic parts such as circuit boards and switches. It evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, so components can go back into service soon after cleaning. Switch equipment off and isolate it before spraying, and let the cleaner dry off completely. The Smart Straw helps reach tight gaps.

What is WD-40 Specialist silicone spray used for?

WD-40 Specialist silicone spray lubricates and protects parts that tend to stick, such as rubber seals, garage door runners, uPVC window latches and plumbing fittings. The silicone film repels moisture and dirt without staining. Silicone is often chosen for rubber and plastic parts, where a petroleum-based oil can cause swelling. Choose white lithium grease instead for heavily loaded metal joints.

What is WD-40 Specialist Penetrant used for?

WD-40 Specialist Penetrant is used to release nuts, bolts, screws and other fixings that have seized or rusted in place. The thin liquid creeps into threads and joints and breaks the bond so the part can turn. Spray it on, give it several minutes to soak in, then try again with the right tool. Once applied, it resists being washed off by water.

What is WD-40 Specialist?

WD-40 Specialist is a line of task-specific sprays from the makers of WD-40, made for jobs that call for a dedicated formula rather than the original Multi-Use Product. The line covers cleaning, loosening, lubricating and degreasing, and its cans usually have a Smart Straw for a precise or wide spray. The range here includes a contact cleaner, a penetrant, a silicone lubricant, a degreaser and a white lithium grease.
