PROPERTIES: CORROSION PROTECTION

Tested on freshly sanded mild steel panels

EXPOSURE RESULTS

Salt Spray (ASTM B117) 0% rust after 72 hours

Under actual conditions the duration obtained using WD-40 will vary with the type of material being protected

and the conditions of exposure. Generally, on mild steel the protection under various will be approximately as

follows:-

1. Covered or indoor storage 1 year or longer

2. Protected exterior storage 6 months to 1 year

3. Normal exterior exposure 30 to 60 days

4. Severe exterior exposure 15 to 30 days (on or

very near the beach, subject to high humidity,

salt spray and salt fog). If longer protection is

desired, WD-40 should be lightly reapplied when

necessary.

LUBRICATION: DYNAMIC COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
