FAQs

What is PTFE?

PTFE stands for Polytetrafluoroethylene, a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its excellent lubrication properties and resistance to friction.

Can I use this on electrical components?

While it's safe for many materials, avoid direct application to exposed electrical contacts. For electrical applications, consider a product specifically designed for that purpose.

How long does the lubrication last?

The duration depends on the application and conditions. Reapplication may be needed for high-wear areas or those exposed to the elements.

Is it safe for rubber seals?

Yes, it is generally safe for rubber. However, always test on a small area first to ensure compatibility.

What temperature range is it effective in?

WD-40 Specialist PTFE Lubricant is effective from -20°C to 100°C.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the cap is securely in place.

Can I use it on food processing equipment?

No, this product is not food grade. It should not be used where there is a chance of direct food contact.

Troubleshooting

Lubricant not spraying

Ensure the Smart Straw is properly attached if using. Shake the can well and check the nozzle for any blockages. If the problem persists, try a different can.

Poor lubrication effect

Ensure the surface is clean before application. Reapply if the area is exposed to heavy use or the elements.

Rust or corrosion appears after application

Ensure the lubricant has fully coated the surface. Reapply if necessary. In extreme cases, clean the affected area and reapply.
