WD40 with PTFE

May 20, 2016 8 Replies

Very good results with slightly rusty cheap padlocks outside. Very handy to have the permanently fixed straw (how long to you manage to keep yours?)



Sprayed them about a week ago, still as free as when sprayed. These ones usually start to feel dry by now.


Once around the tin and straw with duck tape. They pull out easily enough first time, and can be easily slotted back in.

Yet to find a use for WD40 when using duck tape however.

Is this about WD40 with small PTFE beads in? When I was a lad, you could get a similar spray to WD40 with PTFE beads in. Can't remember what it was called, but it was in a tiny black spray can.

This is a new version is it? I had a kind of puffer lubricant withptfe in it and it was also very handy to puff inside door locks etc. That is the main component of Teflon I believe?

Its probably dangerous if inhaled. Brian

LDR something or other made by 3 in 1 as I recall, but it was not that good I never thought. Brian

No, completely biologically inert. Only dangerous when heated above 350 C.

Seems OK on uPVC door multi-point locking, stinks like a mouldy old dishcloth though ...
