Canada will ban aerosol WD-40 in 2024 (www.westernstandard.news)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that's about to change.

You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.

Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.

Then it would be WD-41.

"WD" is "Water Dispersant" and the "40" is the sequential number of the fornumation attempt.

I’ve got at least 3 formulations in the shed. All called WD40

No it's not.

WD-40 may have referred to the formulation at one time, now it's just marketing.

Pretty sure they were making a joke, while also sharing a bit of history on the name.

Wondered when someone would bring that up.
