Product Description
Water-Soluble WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Simplified Recycling and Reduced Environmental Footprint
Address the end-of-life cycle of the product with our innovative Water-Soluble Valve. The outer body of this valve is manufactured from a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer that is strong and durable when dry but completely dissolves when submerged in hot water.
Key Benefits
- Valve body dissolves completely in hot water, leaving a harmless solution
- Simplifies recycling by cleanly separating the valve from the metal canister
- Fully depressurizes empty cans, making them safer for disposal and recycling
- Provides a reliable seal and spray pattern for the functional life of the product
- Represents a significant step towards a circular economy for aerosol products
Application Scenario
A company with a strong zero-landfill policy collects empty cans, places them in a heated wash station where the valves dissolve, and then sends the clean, valve-free steel cans directly to a recycler.
Manufacturing & Handling
Factory Production Floor: Manufacturing must occur in a humidity-controlled environment to prevent the valves from absorbing moisture from the air before packaging. They are packaged with desiccant packets.
Packing and Transportation: Packaged in sealed, moisture-proof bags with desiccant. Shipped in boxes with clear "Keep Dry" labeling and disposal instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the valve dissolve if it gets wet in the rain or from washing?
A: It requires sustained immersion in hot water (typically above 140°F / 60°C) to dissolve. A brief splash of cold water will not affect its integrity.
Q: What is the dissolved solution?
A: The PVA polymer dissolves into a non-toxic, biodegradable solution that is safe for disposal down the drain in most municipal systems.
Q: How do I perform the dissolution process?
A: Simply remove the straw, ensure the can is empty, and submerge the valve end in a container of hot tap water for 5-10 minutes. The valve will disappear.
Q: Is the performance as good as a standard valve?
A: Yes, it is designed to provide a perfect seal and consistent spray pattern that is indistinguishable from a standard valve during the product's useable life.
Q: Why is this better than just throwing the whole can away?
A: It allows for pure steel stream recycling, which is more efficient and valuable. It also ensures the can is non-pressurized, reducing hazards at recycling facilities.
