CRC 5.56 Multipurpose Lubricant 20L (Product Code 5009) is your go-to multi‑purpose service spray designed to penetrate, lubricate and protect against corrosion across hundreds of tasks. Built to be the “original toolkit in a can,” it delivers a precise, clean solution for everyday maintenance and heavy‑duty repair alike.

From stubborn rusted fasteners to damp electrical connections, this silicone‑free formula forms a thin, protective film that keeps moving parts working smoothly and quietly. Its superior penetrating power breaks through rust, displaces moisture, and washes away scale and dirt — reducing the need for disassembly and saving time on routine maintenance.

What makes CRC 5.56 stand out

• Advanced lubrication for smooth action. Lightweight film reduces friction and silences squeaks without leaving sticky residues.
• Rust and corrosion defender. A protective layer that continues to guard metals in humidity, salt air and other aggressive environments.
• Moisture displacement for reliability. Helps start wet engines and prevents electrical failure by driving moisture away from electrical and ignition components.
• Deep penetration for freed parts. Quickly penetrates and loosens components bonded by dirt, scale and grime, often avoiding costly disassembly.
• Cleaning power in one spray. Lifts grease, tar and grime off painted surfaces and tools, making cleanup faster.
• Silicone-free and versatile. Safe for all metals and alloys, most painted surfaces, coatings, plastics and rubbers; ideal for sensitive assemblies.
• Food-grade option available. Suitable variants exist for environments where incidental contact with food occurs.
• Temperature range tolerance. Effective from -10°C up to 150°C, so it’s reliable in a wide range of conditions.
• Quality and safety certifications. MPI Approved C14 and AsureQuality assessment for food/beverage/dairy applications with no potential contact areas.
• No silicone, no fuss. Clean, non‑silicone formulation that won’t interfere with coatings, plastics or rubbers.

Where you’ll use it

• Workshops, garages and industrial sites. A modern, versatile helper for hundreds of repair jobs on machinery, tools and fixtures.
• Vehicles and electrical systems. Treat ignition systems, battery terminals, cables, starter motors and connectors to displace moisture and prevent corrosion.
• Home and garden gear. Lubricate door hinges, window tracks, bike components, garden tools, prams and strollers, and rolling hardware.
• Painted surfaces and plastics. Clean grease and tar without dulling finishes or leaving sticky films.
• Food‑related environments (where incidental contact may occur). Variants are available to meet food safety guidelines.

Practical tips and best uses

1. Shake well before use. Apply a thin, even film to moving parts and allow a brief dwell time for penetration.
2. For stubborn rusted components, apply, wait a few minutes, then gently wiggle or tap to break the bond before reapplying.
3. Use on electrical connectors and ignition components to displace moisture; reassemble once dry to maintain reliable starts.
4. Wipe excess from painted surfaces to avoid smudges; use a quick mist for touch‑ups rather than a heavy coating.
5. Follow preventative maintenance schedules to extend the life of mechanical equipment and reduce downtime.

What you get and compatibility

• Quantity and packaging. 20-liter container designed for workshop use and maintenance programs. Also available in smaller formats, including a 210 ml can with Perma Straw offering pinpoint or regular spray action for tight spots.
• Material safety. Safe for all metals and alloys, most painted surfaces, coatings, plastics and rubbers. Silicone-free to protect sensitive assemblies and finishes.
• Variants for specific needs. Food-grade option and low‑odor/no‑solvent variants available to support diverse environments.

Whether you’re refining a fleet of machines, maintaining a personal workshop, or looking for a reliable everyday lubricant and rust preventative, CRC 5.56 Multipurpose Lubricant 20L delivers dependable performance, time‑saving versatility, and long‑term protection in a single can.
