Canada will ban aerosol WD-40 in 2024 (www.westernstandard.news)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by sik0fewl@kbin.social to c/canada@lemmy.ca
 

Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that's about to change.

You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.

Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.

To be honest I don't find wd-40 all that great to start with, there are better options, although usually pricier. But I don't think it's near as bad as you're making it out to be.

The states pushed a similar law through years ago, and The wd-40 sold in the states already complies with the new Canadian laws of less than 25% (It has 10-20% as per https://files.wd40.com/pdf/sds/specialist/canada/english/wd-40_specialist_spray_stay_gel_lubricant_can_ghs_sds.pdf ) and there hasn't been any problems with its effectiveness.
