Most so-called "silicone" sprays are just a few drops of actual silicone in a bulk of mineral spirits. No more true than your statement that WD-40 is Kerosene. Quite true. WD-40 and kerosene are both light petroleum distillates. Now WD-40 is has less impurities and certain additives (like perfume), but the base stock is the same. It is not literally kersosene for certain stricter senses of the word, so WD-40 as a marketing statement can deny the practical equivalence. It's kind of like saying lighter fluid is not simple petroleum naphtha. They are the same thing, or not, depending on whether you mean in physical terms or marketing presentation. Or mineral spirits vs paint thinner. Not quite identical twins, but close brothers in the petroleum chemistry. If you want to prove how much silicone is in your "silicone" spray, just try evaporating the petroleum carrier out of a sample. You'll get nothing but a thin silicone oil film left after the petroleum evaporates. Are you also gullible enough to assume Liquid Wrench is something besides a nickel's worth of kerosene in a $3 can? |
