WD-40
WD-40 is a lubricant, degreaser and rust removal or protection. It is useful in both construction work and household use as an affordable, easy-to-use product to protect different types of metal and applications. ADI Scaffold Fixings supply WD-40 in three variants depending on your needs. WD-40 Lithium grease is great for applications where metal touches metal that needs heavy-duty lubrication. WD-40 Multi-use smart straw is widely used for precision cleaning and protecting everyday products. Finally, WD-40 Specialist Cutting oil is for use on cutting and drilling equipment to extend the lifetime of your tools and equipment. Order online for competitive prices and get fast delivery.
WD-40 & Specialist Lubricants for Scaffold Fixings
When you’re working on a scaffolding, there are always exposed metal fixings, bolts and nuts that might seize or corrode over time. Using a quality WD-40 product helps protect these components, prevent rust build-up, and make maintenance easier. On site, the right spray can save hours of effort – from loosening stuck bolts to protecting exposed fixings against the elements.
How WD-40 Helps in Scaffold Work
One of the most common issues on scaffold jobs is rust and seized fixings. That’s where a penetrating WD-40 spray comes in handy. For example, using Specialist Fast Release Penetrant helps to break down corrosion between tightly threaded bars and nuts, loosening them without damaging the threads.
Its low surface tension means it seeps into small gaps, and the clever “Smart Straw” allows you to spray exactly where it’s needed, even in awkward or tight areas.
Because work at height often exposes metal fixings to rain, condensation or moisture, WD-40 penetrants are also great for displacing water and forming a protective barrier.
That helps stop further corrosion, especially on scaffold bolts, tie-in bars or base plates.
