WD-40 Company has introduced its first water-based formula.
WD-40 Specialist Professional Degreaser (Water-Based) is a ready-to-use cleaner that can also be diluted to suit a wide range of cleaning jobs – such as degreasing hand and power tools. Its biodegradable formula cuts through dirt and grime quickly, even at low concentrations, while remaining non-abrasive and non-flammable, making it safe to use on paintwork, steel, aluminium, plastic and rubber.
The product is available in two formats: a 1-litre ready-to-use trigger spray bottle and a 5-litre refill container, and is NSF A8 registered.
Market research involving 150 tradespeople found that safety, ease of use and speed of action are key and product testing found that 96% of tradespeople agreed the product is of high quality.
James Jermyn, Trade Marketing Manager for WD-40 Company, said: “The launch of WD-40 Specialist Water-Based Degreaser marks a significant expansion into a new category of maintenance solutions for WD-40 Company, combining outstanding cleaning performance with enhanced efficiency and sustainability.”
WD-40 Specialist Water Based Degreaser joins the existing solvent-based WD-40 Specialist Degreaser as part of a broader range. While the original solvent-based degreaser remains ideal for heavy-duty cleaning where fast evaporation and drying are required, the new water-based formula offers a lower-odour, non-flammable alternative that is dilutable for multiple applications, giving customers the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job.
