Plusgas

We sell Plusgas dismantling lubricant, a penetrating oil used to free seized, rusted and corroded nuts, bolts and fittings. It's available in 200ml and 400ml aerosol cans and a 500ml tin, for garages, workshops and general maintenance use.

Plusgas works by penetrating into the thread and surface rust of a seized fastener, breaking the bond between metal surfaces so the fastener can be turned without excessive force or heat. It's a long-standing choice among mechanics and engineers for freeing components that would otherwise risk shearing or rounding off during removal.

How Plusgas dismantling lubricant works

Plusgas is formulated to creep into the microscopic gaps between a threaded fastener and the surrounding rust or corrosion, loosening the bond that holds a seized part in place. Once it has had time to penetrate, the fastener can usually be worked free with normal hand tools, reducing the risk of rounding off a bolt head or snapping a stud that's been forced without lubrication first.

Aerosol vs tin: choosing the right format

The 200ml and 400ml aerosol cans give a directed spray, useful for reaching fasteners in awkward positions such as underneath a vehicle or inside an engine bay. The 500ml tin is better suited to workshop use where the lubricant is applied with a brush or dispenser, or where a larger working volume is needed for repeated jobs across a session.

Where Plusgas is commonly used

Plusgas is widely used in automotive and motorcycle maintenance for freeing seized exhaust bolts, suspension components and engine fasteners exposed to road salt and moisture. It's also common in general workshop and site maintenance, wherever nuts, bolts, hinges or fittings have corroded from outdoor exposure or age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plusgas is a penetrating oil used to free seized, rusted or corroded nuts, bolts and fittings, commonly in automotive, motorcycle and general workshop maintenance.
Giving the lubricant a few minutes to penetrate the thread usually improves results, and heavily corroded fasteners may need a second application and a longer wait before attempting to turn them.
The aerosol cans give a directed spray that's easier to aim at fasteners in awkward positions, while the tin suits workshop use where the lubricant is applied by brush or where a larger volume is needed across several jobs.
Plusgas is designed for general use on rusted or seized metal fasteners such as nuts, bolts and fittings. As with any penetrating oil, it's worth checking manufacturer guidance if working on a sensitive or specialist component.
Plusgas is formulated primarily to penetrate and loosen existing corrosion on a seized fastener. Some residual film may offer short-term protection, but it isn't intended as a long-term rust prevention coating in the way a dedicated anti-corrosion product would be.
