It also dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape, stickers, and excess bonding material. DISPLACES MOISTURE: Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits. PENETRATES: WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts. LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold firmly to all moving parts. PROTECTS: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.
