WD-40.. who knew?

'Water Displacement #40'



The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts .

WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company . Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound . . They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40 . The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts .
