If you've ever used WD-40 to oil up something squeaky in your home, you may have wondered, just what does WD-40 stand for? According to the company that makes it, WD-40 literally stands for "Water Displacement 40th " attempt. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who helped develop WD-40 back in 1953. Norman Larsen was attempting to develop a formula to prevent corrosion, a task which is done by displacing water or moisture. Norman's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula for WD-40 on his 40th try WD-40 was first used to protect the outer metal parts of aircrafts from rust and corrosion. When it was discovered to have many household uses, Larsen repackaged WD-40 into aerosol cans for consumer use, and the product was sold to the general public in 1958, In 1969, the Rocket Chemical Company was renamed after its only product (WD-40), As their product began gaining traction, it exploded in popularity. Everyone loved it. Employees at the Rocket Chemical company took some home. They discovered that it was useful for loosening bolts, removing paint from surfaces, cleaning carpet stains, and removing glue residue, among other home uses. So, it wasn’t much of a surprise that five years after its invention, the miracle substance appeared on the open market in 1958. Today, it has become a must-have for householders.
