What IS The Main Ingredient of WD-40?


Before you read to the end, does anybody know what is
the main ingredient of WD-40?

No Cheating.....


WD-40 ~ Who knew!

I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup.
I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason).
I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news.
He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do....
probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.
Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off.
It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I was impressed!

WD-40 who knew?
"Water Displacement #40".


The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water Displacement' Compound.
They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth attempt, thus WD-40.
The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the 'shower door' part, try it.
It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door.
If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on glass.
It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stovetop.
It's now shinier than it's ever been.
You'll be amazed.


WD-40 Uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4. Gives floor that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps the flies off of Cows, Horses, and other Farm Critters, as well. (Ya gotta love this one!!!)
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic / terracotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors.
18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen flooring.
It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off.
Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Remove those nasty Bug guts that will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers...
22. Rids kids rocking chair and swings of squeaky noises.
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.

28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes grease splatters from stovetops.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37. Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York, it protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the moisture, allowing the engine to start.

P.S.
As for that Basic, Main Ingredient.......
Well.... it's FISH OIL....
Who would have guessed ? ? ?

Nein, ist gelogen!
WD40 ist ein reines Mineralölerzeugnis (im Ggstz zu Ballistol u. a.) und schneidet daher bei Gesundheits-/Umweltverträglichkeitstests auch regelmäßig schlecht ab.
(z.B. http://gtue.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=47488)
Man beachte auch einfach die Warnhinweise auf jeder Dose: Hautkontakt vermeiden, Arzt aufsuchen, etc...

Auf dieser Seite  http://www.wd40company.com/partners/msds/usa/  kann man die Sicherheitsdatenblätter 'runterladen. Von fish oil steht da nix.

Vielleicht ist da soviel Fischöl drin wie Olivenöl im Pesto von Barilla (http://www.lebensmittelklarheit.de/cps/rde/xchg/lebensmittelklarheit/hs.xsl/3177.htm).

Von berufswegen und im Namen meines Dienstherren habe ich schon vor einigen Monaten den Hersteller angeschrieben, um mir die Rezeptur zu nennen. Ich wollte einfach WD40 als Reiniger und allg. Schmiermittel bei der Fertigung von Flugzeugkomponenten zulassen, da das Zeugel sowieso auf jeder Werkbank rumsteht und es deswegen immer öfter Ärger und Fragerei gibt. Die Rezeptur meinetwegen auch als Verschlußsache...

...bisher habe ich noch nichts bekommen...

Ist ja fast ein "frack-thread" - beim "fracken" wird die Rezeptur, die in die Erde gepumpt wird auch geheim gehalten.
Auf die Frage eines Reporters an einen Firmensprecher ich glaube von Exxon ob die beim Fracken benutzten Flüssigkeiten denn wohl wassergefährdernd seien konnte der keine Antwort geben.
Jaja, da hat der Umweltminister  beim Pokern bestimmt noch eine Asse im Ärmel

Dieses Fracking ist hier in der Gegend allseits präsent, überall soll gebohrt werden.
Sogar in der Gegend (Nordvelen) wo wir unser (Grund) Wasser herbekommen.
Nichts genaues weiß man nicht.
