Description
WD-40 Specialist Anti Friction Dry Lubricant is built for equipment and moving parts where a wet, oily lubricant would attract dirt and dust rather than keep things running smoothly. Its non-greasy formula dries to a transparent, non-sticky film that resists dirt and dust buildup while still delivering genuine lubrication and enhanced rust protection — a real advantage over a standard oil-based spray on parts that are frequently exposed to dust, sawdust or grit.
Being PTFE-free and PFAS-free reflects WD-40 Company’s own Chemical and Product Safety Policy, reformulating ahead of anticipated regulatory requirements rather than waiting for them to take effect. The dual-mode Smart Straw applicator — flipped up for precision in hard-to-reach spots, flipped down for wide-angle coverage — makes it practical for both small mechanisms and larger surfaces from the same can.
Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Composition | PTFE-free, PFAS-free |
| Applicator | Smart Straw — precision and wide-angle modes |
| Pack size | 150g aerosol |
Where to Use
- Gears, bike chains and chains generally
- Tracks, sliding doors and rollers
- Blades, drill bits, hinges and conveyor belts
- Table saws, lathes, electric razors and general power tools and equipment
How to Apply
- Select the spray mode — flip the Smart Straw up for hard-to-reach areas, or down for wide-angle coverage.
- Test first — apply to an inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility with the specific surface.
- Apply a light, even coat — spray directly onto the moving part or mechanism.
- Allow to dry — let the product form its non-sticky, dirt-resistant film before use.
Important Notes
- Always test on an inconspicuous area before full application, particularly on plastics.
- Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet for full handling and hazard information.
The trade-off with most lubricants is that the same oily film that reduces friction also attracts and holds onto dust, sawdust and grit, which over time can turn a lubricated mechanism into one clogged with an abrasive paste. A dry-film lubricant sidesteps that problem by curing to a non-sticky finish once applied, so it keeps reducing friction without acting as a magnet for the debris a workshop, garden or worksite environment inevitably generates around moving parts. That’s the practical reason to reach for a dry lubricant over a wet oil on equipment exposed to a dusty environment.
