Soudal Multi Spray

Health & Safety Recommendations

Read the label and safety data sheet before use. Use Soudal Multi Spray only in well-ventilated areas and keep away from ignition sources, hot surfaces and open flames. Avoid inhaling spray or vapour and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Wear suitable gloves and eye protection, especially when working overhead or inside enclosures. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Switch off and isolate electrical or electronic equipment before application and do not restore power until the product has fully evaporated and the area has been thoroughly aerated.

Do not smoke during application. Respect all precautions for use printed on the packaging.

Substrate Suitability

Soudal Multi Spray is suitable for metals, plastics and rubbers found in general maintenance, automotive, marine, agricultural and industrial environments. Typical components include screws, bolts, nuts, axles, hinges, chains, locks, roller bearings, cogwheels, conveyor parts and rubber gasket profiles.

On sensitive plastics, fresh paint and decorative coatings, perform a small compatibility test on an inconspicuous area before full application. The product is not intended for friction linings or oxygen systems and must not be sprayed onto energised electrical equipment.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be clean, degreased and dry. Remove loose dirt and dust with a clean lint-free cloth. Where heavy grime or old grease is present, wipe away the bulk so the fluid can reach the interface.

For corroded fasteners, a light wire brush will expose the thread flanks and improve penetration. Ensure adequate ventilation around the work area to support evaporation after use.

Application Method

Shake the can well before use to ensure a uniform spray. Hold the nozzle approximately 20cm from the target and apply as required.

For seized fasteners and rusted interfaces, wet the joint thoroughly and allow a dwell time of 5 to 10min to maximise capillary penetration before attempting movement with steady controlled torque.

For light lubrication and cleaning, apply a thin film and operate the mechanism several times to distribute the product, then wipe away excess.

For electrical contact care, the equipment must be de energised; apply a light treatment to displace moisture and lift oxide films, then allow complete evaporation and aeration before re energising.

The aerosol functions in any angle for accurate delivery into recesses, overhead positions and confined housings. Reapply as needed during working to maintain a visible film on the interface.

Drying Time

Soudal Multi Spray flashes off quickly to leave a light protective film. Evaporation time depends on the applied quantity, temperature, airflow and humidity. In normal room conditions a functional film is achieved within minutes.

Do not restore power to electrical installations until the treated area is visibly dry and vapours have dispersed.

Cleaning

After use, wipe away loosened oxides, grime and surplus fluid with a clean lint-free cloth. If overspray occurs on unintended areas, remove promptly with a suitable cleaner compatible with the substrate.

Keep the actuator and extension straw clean so the spray pattern remains precise for the next task. Wash hands after work and dispose of used cloths in accordance with local regulations.

Q) What is Soudal Multi Spray and what problems does it solve day to day?

A) Soudal Multi Spray is a professional, universal maintenance spray that combines multiple functions in one can to simplify fault-finding, servicing and repair. It cleans light grime, lubricates moving parts, penetrates and loosens seized fixings, displaces moisture and leaves a thin protective film that helps resist rust and wear. The formulation is safe on metals, plastics and rubbers, so it can be used confidently on mixed assemblies without degrading seals or housings. Thanks to very low surface tension and strong capillary action, it creeps into tight tolerances where conventional oils struggle to reach. The 360° any-position aerosol lets you apply it precisely under dashboards, inside machine guards, overhead or in confined cabinets. By bringing dust removal, contact care and even a cooling shock aid into one can, it reduces the number of products you need to carry and cuts time spent switching between aerosols. Whether you are freeing stubborn screws, quietening hinges or stabilising damp connectors, Soudal Multi Spray is designed to be the first thing you reach for.

Q) How does Soudal Multi Spray actually work once it hits the surface?

A) Soudal Multi Spray uses a low-viscosity carrier to wet the interface rapidly, then wicks by capillary action along thread flanks, shafts and sliding faces to reach the area that is causing resistance. As a penetrating oil it undercuts oxide films and bonded grime so the breakaway torque falls and components begin to move with controlled effort. As a light lubricant it lays down a clean, low-residue film that separates metal-to-metal contact points to reduce friction, chatter and wear without attracting dirt. The cleaner action lifts dust and workshop residues so parts can be reassembled in a better condition. Moisture displacement occurs as the fluid drives water off metal surfaces and contact areas, lowering the risk of damp-related faults. After evaporation of the volatile phase, a thin protective layer remains to help deter flash rust and support ongoing light lubrication. All of this is delivered via a precision spray that can be aimed accurately to minimise overspray and waste.

Q) What are the eight functions of Soudal Multi Spray and when would I use each one?

A) Soudal Multi Spray combines dust removal, light lubrication, cleaning, penetrating release, corrosion protection, moisture displacement, cooling shock assist and contact care. Use the dust remover and cleaner actions first to lift loose debris and film residues for better access. Apply the penetrating oil function to seized threads and interfaces, allowing dwell to break oxide bonds. Follow with the lubricant to quieten hinges, slides and linkages where a clean film is preferred over heavy grease. The corrosion protection leaves a thin layer that helps resist rust during service and storage. Moisture displacement helps after washing or rain exposure by pushing water away from metal surfaces and connectors. The cooling shock assist provides a brief localised chill on small parts to help crack corrosion at fine threads or to assist thermal diagnostics. Contact care helps clear light oxide films on de-energised electrical contacts and stabilises them against damp before reassembly.

Q) Where should Soudal Multi Spray be used for best results?

A) Soudal Multi Spray is designed for workshop, automotive, plant, marine and home maintenance where a single product needs to handle varied tasks. It is ideal for screws, bolts and nuts that have corroded or fretted, hinges and locks that squeak, chains and Bowden cables that need a clean running film, and small mechanisms that must remain free of heavy, dirt-attracting residues. Around machinery it helps with roller bearings during inspection, axles and cogwheels that require a clean wipe-down and relube, and conveyor guides where reduced friction and dust shedding support reliability. For building services and facilities it supports door furniture, window hardware, bracket fixings and rubber gasket profiles that stick. In automotive and marine contexts it frees stubborn fixings, protects exposed metal, eases linkages and stabilises non-energised connectors after damp exposure. Because the 360° valve works in any position, you can reach recessed fasteners, overhead fittings and confined housings without dismantling half the assembly.

Q) Which materials and components are compatible with Soudal Multi Spray?

A) Soudal Multi Spray is suitable for common engineering metals, most plastics and rubbers typically found in mixed assemblies. It can be used on screws, studs, axles, hinges, chains, locks, roller bearings, cogwheels, conveyor parts and rubber gasket profiles without attacking the materials. On sensitive plastics, fresh paintwork and decorative coatings you should carry out a small compatibility test on an inconspicuous area first, as formulations and finishes vary. The product is not designed for oxygen systems or for friction linings such as brake components and clutches, where contamination would be hazardous. It should not be sprayed onto energised electrical equipment; always isolate first. If an assembly includes porous materials that could retain fluid, apply sparingly and wipe off excess to avoid long drying times. Used sensibly, its broad compatibility makes it a dependable first-choice maintenance aid.

Q) How do I apply Soudal Multi Spray correctly to free seized fasteners?

A) Start by exposing the joint line: remove loose rust and dirt with a wire brush so the fluid can reach the thread flanks. Shake the can, fit the extension straw for accuracy and wet the circumference of the fastener from about 20 cm, ensuring the product can creep all around the interface. Allow a dwell time of five to ten minutes so the penetrating oil can wick into capillaries and undercut the oxide layer. Apply steady, controlled torque using the correct-size tool rather than sudden impact; small back-and-forth movements help draw the fluid deeper into the joint. If there is no movement, repeat the cycle, apply, wait, work, until the bond breaks. Once initial motion is achieved, add a fresh application to flush loosened oxides, then remove the fastener and clean the threads. Finish with an appropriate assembly lubricant or anti-seize so the fixings will service easily next time.

Q) How should I use Soudal Multi Spray for light lubrication without leaving a mess?

A) Clean the area first so you are not lubricating grit into the mechanism. Apply a thin, even film to the moving interfaces from around 20 cm, using the extension straw to target only the parts that need treatment. Cycle the mechanism several times to distribute the product across the contact faces, then wipe away surplus to leave a clean, low-residue layer. On chains and linkages, aim to wet pins and bushings rather than drenching side plates; a little product goes a long way. For hinges and locks, treat the pivot points and work the action to draw fluid into the barrel or knuckle. Because Soudal Multi Spray is designed for clean lubrication, it reduces friction and noise without creating sticky build-up that attracts dust. Reapply lightly during service intervals if movement starts to feel dry.

Q) Can Soudal Multi Spray help with electrical issues and contact care?

A) Yes, provided the equipment is de-energised first. Soudal Multi Spray displaces moisture from metal surfaces and light-contact interfaces, which helps reduce damp-related faults after cleaning or exposure to weather. Apply a modest amount to cleaned connectors, sockets or terminal strips, operate the contact to help lift light oxide films, then allow complete evaporation and thorough aeration before re-energising. The product helps stabilise continuity but is not a substitute for proper contact greases where specified, nor should it be relied upon to restore heavily pitted or burnt components that need replacement. Avoid flooding enclosures and wipe away excess to prevent dust retention. In many cases, a brief treatment is enough to stop intermittent behaviour caused by humidity and improve reliability on reassembly. Always confirm correct function under power once the area is dry and ventilated.

Q) What is the cooling shock feature on Soudal Multi Spray and when should I use it?

A) The cooling shock feature provides a short burst of rapid localised chilling on small components, producing a brief temperature drop that can help crack brittle corrosion layers at fine threads. This can make the difference when a tiny screw resists movement despite penetration and dwell. In electronics diagnostics, a controlled chill on a non-energised component may help provoke or suppress thermally intermittent faults to aid fault-finding. To use it, apply a quick, targeted burst directly onto the part and allow a few seconds before attempting movement or measurement. Avoid prolonged chilling on sensitive plastics or stressed materials that might micro-crack under thermal shock. Always follow up with a light application of the penetrating or lubricating action where appropriate. Used judiciously, the cooling assist is a time-saver that complements the other functions.

Q) How does Soudal Multi Spray protect against corrosion after cleaning and release?

A) After the volatile phase flashes off, Soudal Multi Spray leaves a thin, even protective film on the treated metal. This layer helps exclude atmospheric moisture and slows the onset of flash rust during reassembly and service. On low- to medium-duty mechanisms, it also provides ongoing light lubrication that keeps movement smooth between maintenance intervals. The film is clean and low residue, so it does not encourage dust build-up the way heavy oils can. For exposed fixings and edges, a quick wipe-down after application removes surplus while leaving enough protection in the interface. In harsher environments the protective film can be paired with a suitable topcoat or corrosion inhibitor once the maintenance task is complete. As part of a preventative routine, this simple step reduces call-backs and extends component life.

Q) What practical hints and tips will improve results with Soudal Multi Spray?

A) Preparation and patience are key: clean or brush the interface so the fluid can reach the point of resistance, then allow dwell time for penetration. Use the extension straw to target threads and pivots precisely and rotate around fasteners to treat the full circumference. Work stuck parts with small back-and-forth movements, reapplying lightly between attempts rather than forcing a full turn that risks shear. Apply sparingly for lubrication, thin, even films work better and stay cleaner than heavy wet coats. After moisture displacement or contact care, always allow full evaporation and aeration before restoring power. Keep the nozzle clean to maintain a tight spray pattern, and store the can at room temperature so spray performance is consistent. Finally, finish freed fixings with the right assembly lubricant or anti-seize to prevent a repeat of the problem.

Q) Are there any limitations to Soudal Multi Spray I should know about?

A) Soudal Multi Spray is a universal maintenance aid but it is not a cure-all. It is not intended for oxygen systems, friction linings or as a heavy-duty, long-term bearing lubricant where dedicated greases are required. Do not spray onto energised electrical equipment or into live panels; always isolate and allow full evaporation before re-energising. It will not remedy structurally damaged, cross-threaded or heavily galled components that need mechanical repair or replacement. On freshly painted or delicate decorative finishes, test first and apply sparingly to avoid aesthetic changes. Avoid saturating porous materials that could retain the fluid and extend drying time. Used within its design scope, it speeds work and prevents damage; outside it, you should select a specialised product.

Q) What safety precautions apply when using Soudal Multi Spray in workshops, on site or at home?

A) Read the label and safety data sheet in full and use Soudal Multi Spray only in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources, hot surfaces and open flames. Avoid inhaling spray or vapour and wear suitable gloves and eye protection, particularly when working overhead or inside enclosures. Switch off and isolate electrical or electronic equipment before application, and do not restore power until the treated area is visibly dry and vapours have dispersed. Keep the aerosol below 50°C, do not smoke during use and store out of reach of children. Wipe up excess fluid promptly to avoid slip hazards and residue accumulation. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Dispose of used cloths and empty cans in accordance with local regulations.

Q) How long does Soudal Multi Spray take to evaporate and when can I put equipment back into service?

A) In typical room conditions Soudal Multi Spray flashes off quickly to leave a functional protective film within minutes, although the exact time depends on the amount applied, temperature, airflow and humidity. For mechanical parts, light lubrication and release work can usually proceed shortly after application once visible wetness has reduced and the film has settled. For electrical contact care, always allow complete evaporation and thorough aeration before re-energising to avoid trapped vapours and to ensure contact stability. In confined cabinets, leave doors open and encourage airflow to speed drying. Cooler or more humid environments will extend evaporation times, so plan accordingly. As a rule, use the minimum quantity that achieves the effect and wipe away excess for faster turnaround. This approach keeps workflows efficient while maintaining safety.

Q) How should I prepare surfaces before using Soudal Multi Spray for the best outcome?

A) Good preparation ensures the fluid can reach the real point of resistance and that the protective film adheres evenly. Remove loose dirt and dust with a lint-free cloth, and if heavy grease or carbon is present, wipe away the bulk so the active components can act directly on the interface. On corroded fasteners, a quick pass with a wire brush exposes thread flanks and breaks the crust that caps capillaries. Ensure the work area is ventilated so vapours can dissipate quickly after use. For electrical and electronics maintenance, isolate and expose the contact area, then proceed with light, targeted application. If the assembly includes sensitive plastics or decorative finishes, mask or shield them before spraying. This simple preparation shortens dwell times and improves the quality of the result.

Q) What technical information defines Soudal Multi Spray’s performance envelope?

A) Soudal Multi Spray is a mineral-oil-based liquid with an approximate density of 0.81 g/ml and a low Brookfield viscosity of around 1 mPa·s, which supports rapid wetting and strong capillary penetration. It carries a flash point in the region of 52°C, is neutral in acidity and is not soluble in water, which underpins its moisture displacement capability. The formulation contains about 84% VOC and is delivered in an aerosol with a 360° any-position valve for accurate application in tight or overhead locations. Service temperature tolerance is approximately −50°C to 190°C, allowing use in cold conditions and in warm environments typical of machinery housings. The product leaves a light protective film to help resist rust while supporting ongoing light lubrication. Values are indicative and do not replace the current technical data sheet, but they provide a practical guide for planning maintenance tasks and choosing processes.

Q) How should Soudal Multi Spray be stored, cleaned up after use and looked after between jobs?

A) Store Soudal Multi Spray upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and never expose aerosols to temperatures above 50°C. After use, wipe the nozzle and extension straw to keep the spray pattern tight and predictable, and consider a brief clearing burst to confirm the valve is free. If overspray reaches unintended surfaces, remove it promptly with a compatible cleaner for the substrate. Keep the product separate from painting and bonding stations to avoid cross-contamination. Wash hands after handling and dispose of used wipes responsibly under local regulations. Rotate stock so older cans are used first, and transport the aerosol in a way that prevents puncture or crushing. Simple housekeeping ensures Soudal Multi Spray is always ready to deliver clean, precise maintenance results.
