3M-5 Way Multi Purpose Lubricant

3M 5-Way Penetrant is a multi-purpose aerosol spray designed to free unmovable parts that have become rusty or frozen, while displacing moisture. It also works as an excellent light-duty lubricant and can dry out electronics. It has proven to inhibit corrosion and rust in certain applications.

• Helps free rusted and frozen bolts, nuts and more
• Can act as a tapping lubricant for stainless steel and aluminum
• Displaces moisture and "dries out" electronics
• Light duty lubricant works well with delicate precision instruments
• Inhibits corrosion during storage

Breaks Down Rust and Prevents Future Rusting

Our 3M™ 5-Way Penetrant attacks the corrosion that prevents the movement of commonplace parts, such as rusty cranks, levers and handles, as well as nuts and bolts that have seized. We designed this versatile, silicone-free chemical to spray evenly, spreading a thin, even film that penetrates the toughest barriers.
Additionally, this spray formula is capable of displacing moisture and drying out electronic elements, inhibiting potential rust and corrosion. 3M™ 5-Way Penetrant has also proven to be a handy cleaner for everyday, hands-on jobs. Its liquid composition also makes it a reliable lubricant for sensitive equipment and delicate instruments.

Recommended Applications

• Fix rusted bolts and nuts quickly
• Tapping lubricant for stainless steel and aluminum
• General purpose cleaner for metal parts
• Displacing moisture on electrical apparatus, generators and motors
• Corrosion prevention
• Lubrication for many delicate and precision instruments

Ideal for Factory Maintenance and Production

In thousands of factories and plants, 3M maintenance and cleaning aerosols are used every day to save time and effort. Lubricating, cleaning, inhibiting rust, and other tough jobs become easy with the convenience and effectiveness of our formulated chemicals. Cleaners can also be used to prep surfaces and help improve adhesive bonding by removing dirt, grease and other contaminants, leaving a clean substrate.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Evacuate area. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Use only non-sparking tools.
Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or
exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and
could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Refer to other sections of this SDS for
information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

If possible, seal leaking container. Place leaking containers in a well-ventilated area, preferably an operating exhaust hood, or
if necessary outdoors on an impermeable surface until appropriate packaging for the leaking container or its contents is
available. Contain spill. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An appropriate aqueous film forming foam
(AFFF) is recommended. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or
commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding
an absorbent material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material
as possible using non-sparking tools. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.
Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh
air. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and SDS. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as
soon as possible in accordance with applicable local/regional/national/international regulations.

Precautions for safe handling

For industrial or professional use only. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Do not spray
on an open flame or other ignition source. Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not breathe
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this
product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.)
