Literally from the article:
""It has recently come to our attention that false information is circulating online that WD-40® Brand products are being banned in Canada," WD-40 stated.
"This is not a true statement. Although there are currently regulatory changes taking place in Canada, we have been aware of these regulatory changes and have been preparing for them for some time.""
Course this might create a black market of American WD-40 but that will depend on how much the formula is changing.
WD-40 used to come in big cans before it was an aerosol. And there has been spray bottles of it for some time too.
From what I remember, WD-40 is just mineral oil plus some hydrocarbons. The aerosol version is just so that tiny target straw works well, but you can literally just spray it on the work area and “rub” it in as it’s a penetrating oil for water displacement. In fact, I’m pretty certain that’s what the WD stands for, water displacement.
American wd-40 already complies with the new Canadian standard of no more than 25% voc. (The states has 10-15%)
lol then it's literally nothing, nice
