Canada will ban aerosol WD-40 in 2024
But soon it will be banned in Canada in aerosol spray form, amongst other products, to save the environment.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
They make WD-40 in a non-aerosol bottle. Like a Windex bottle. I'm assuming that's what will be available after this change: https://www.wd40.com/products/trigger-pro/
I'm sure that can be adapted to fit a straw as well.
That sounds less useful, but if there's a legitimate concern then I guess that's what we have to do.
You can already buy pump spray bottles of wd-40 since at least the 90's, and they can adapt the straw.
besides, Wd-40 in the US already complies with the new Canadian standard. Canada is just slow updating the regulations compared to the states.
They definitely still sell the aerosol WD-40 in the States. I guess maybe they're using a different chemical as the propellent?
Canada's new regulations calls for no more than 25% VOC. The states enacted the same kind of law years ago, and the wd-40 down there is only at 10-15%.
So in other words, this new law is still behind the US regulations and we're only starting to catch up.
