In 1953, in a small laboratory in San Diego, California, Rocket Chemical Company and its three employees were looking for a line of anti-corrosion solvents and degreasers to use in the aerospace industry. It took them 40 attempts to get their water displacing and anticorrosion formula right, but by the 40th attempt they had succeeded. WD-40 was born. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula. The formula is a closely guarded secret and still remains the same as when it was first invented.
Besides WD-40 Multi-Use Product there is WD-40 Specialist®. This line of professional grade products has been specially formulated for tradesmen professionals to handle specific and heavy-duty tasks, such as industrial cleaning and tasks requiring high quality lubrication and/or degreasing.
