WD-40
WD-40, the no. 1 multipurpose, problem-solving lubricant spray with over 2000 uses, was invented in 1953 by the Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego. Originally developed to address moisture issues in NASA’s rocket electrical contacts, it became a versatile solution for aerospace and military needs. Due to its effectiveness, employees began using it for personal tasks, and its popularity grew.
Today, WD-40 is a go-to, versatile product for craftsmen, engineers, farmers, and households as it lubricates, protects, cleans, unblocks ‘stuck’ mechanisms and so much more. The WD-40 Company has expanded its product line to include specialized products such as WD-40 Specialist, solidifying its position as the global leader in multi-purpose lubricants.

Naming it after the eagle owl, "UHU - The all-purpose adhesive®," Fischer’s innovation became a game-changer, establishing his company as one of the leading adhesive manufacturers worldwide.
