WD-40 for Marine and Shipbuilding

Marine and shipbuilding

Salt air, spray and constant humidity attack a ship's metal and electrics every day. Corrosion never takes a day off, so protection has to keep working too.

Many shipyards use WD-40 for its multi-purpose performance, and ship owners and shipping companies list it as an essential maintenance product for protecting metal and electrical components. Genuine products made in the UK, wholesale by the case, prices include VAT.

But do you know what it can do for your vessel?

From the engine room to the bridge, WD-40 maintains metal and electrics in a humid environment, protects gears and engine parts from rust and loosens tightly fastened screws and nuts.

Frequently asked questions

Does WD-40 help in a saltwater marine environment?

Yes. WD-40 displaces moisture and leaves a protective film that separates metal from moisture and corrosive elements. For long-term protection of exposed parts, repeat the treatment regularly.

Can WD-40 be used on ship electrics and instruments?

Yes. WD-40 is non-conductive and protects terminals and control and measuring equipment from moisture. Apply to de-energised equipment.
