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.

Except it won’t. A product of the same name but different composition - likely a less effective one - will be available

Why would it be any less effective? WD-40 sold in the U.S. already complies with Canadian new voc rule of no more than 25%
