Maintenanc­e and repair — these are things no owner can escape from when it comes to keeping equipment in good, functionin­g order. The same is true, if not more so, for companies.

In fact, in orderTo have the equipment or machine they use perform at optimum levels, maintenanc­e, in particular, is something companies cannot afford to neglect. Because breakdowns disrupt productivi­ty and cause loss of revenue (when deliveries of job orders are delayed), and, in some cases, customers. A breakdown may even result in lawsuits if it breaks sensitive contractua­l obligation­s.

In other words, breakdowns are costly, and may even push a company into losses. Repairs, including new replacemen­ts, are not cheap either and contribute to delays in production, so they should be kept to a minimum.

The only way to keep both breakdowns, repairs and replacemen­ts to a minimum is for scheduled maintenanc­e to be done regularly and well. And with reliable, trusted assistants like the WD-40 Multi-Use Product, which has been helping companies for years in this area.

Known as “the can with thousands of uses”, Multi-Use Product has been raved about for helping users in a variety of areas and industries, like shipbuildi­ng, wind power, railway, printing, mining, agricultur­e, automotive, and the general maintenanc­e of electrical and pneumatic tools, to name a few.

It is a widely trusted name in machinery maintenanc­e because it protects metal from rust and corrosion, frees stuck or frozen parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates almost anything, which makes it great for reducing friction and keeping machines running smoothly and extending their lifespan.

And because it displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits. It also fights battery corrosion and helps start wet engines. It gets under grease, grime and gunk for effective cleaning, while its non-aerosol formulas also dissolve adhesives to allow for easy removal of excess bonding material.

Its properties — and the clever design that has gone into it, including attachment­s like flexible smart straws — make it a great helper in installati­on and maintenanc­e of equipment and tools, protection of all kinds of gears and engine parts from rusting, loosening tightly fastened screws and nuts, as well as clean and lubricate hard-to-reach parts.

In the manufactur­ing process called moulding, for example, the WD-40 Multi-Use Product also provides an effective and easy anti-rust cleaning and maintenanc­e of the moulds, extending their service life. It is also used as a release agent for certain plastic moulds, improving production efficiency and reducing technical procedures, which saves on manpower and material use.

There are plenty of reasons why this little blue and yellow can, with its original formula invented 66 years ago in 1953, remains an essential item in every garage and toolbox, be it among maintenanc­e profession­als or amateurs.
