Pb Blaster
About PB B'laster
PB B'laster is one of the most recognized names in professional-grade lubricants and penetrants — a brand with roots stretching back to 1957 and a reputation forged in some of the toughest working conditions imaginable. Born and bred in Cleveland, Ohio, the heart of the Rust Belt, the B'laster Chemical Company was founded by William K. Westley in 1957. The Original PB B'laster was developed in direct response to a real-world problem: mining equipment at a phosphate mine in Florida had become so corroded it couldn't be disassembled for maintenance — and nothing could break through until PB B'laster came along.
Since 1957, B'laster Corporation has manufactured penetrants, lubricants, rust inhibitors, and a full line of specialty, highly concentrated formulas for the automotive, industrial, and hardware industries. What started as a single product solution to an impossible corrosion problem has grown into a comprehensive catalog trusted by mechanics, tradespeople, and serious DIYers across the country.
A Legacy of Professional-Grade Performance
The flagship PB B'laster Penetrant quickly busts loose rusted or frozen parts caused by rust and corrosion, and also contains a non-evaporating lubricant that saves time and equipment while protecting against further rust and corrosion. It remains the #1-selling penetrant in its category — a distinction it has held for decades.
B'laster's full line includes penetrants, lubricants, rust inhibitors, and other specialty, highly-concentrated formulas for the automotive, industrial, marine, and hardware industries. Beyond its signature penetrant, the lineup covers everything from multi-purpose lubricants and white lithium grease to dry lubricants, silicone sprays, chain and cable lubricants, fuel injector cleaners, and parts washer solvents — giving professionals and enthusiasts a one-stop chemical solution for maintenance and repair.
Innovation and Expanding Product Lines
A key part of B'laster's innovation strategy is its partnership with the Teflon™ brand, with multiple B'laster products reformulated to contain Teflon™ fluoropolymer for enhanced friction reduction and longer-lasting performance. The brand has also continued to grow through strategic acquisitions and new product launches, expanding its portfolio to include penetrants, lubricants, cleaners, solvents, removers, grease, protectants, and refrigerants.
B'laster Corporation acquired the Workshop Hero brand, becoming the manufacturer and retail distributor of Metal Rescue products — a water-based rust removal system that complements its rust-fighting heritage perfectly. The company also acquired the AC Avalanche division from TSI Products, Inc., which manufactures recharging systems for automotive air conditioners.
Built for the Pros, Available for Everyone
B'laster has moved its headquarters and production facilities to a brand-new, state-of-the-art building in Valley View, Ohio, where 30–50,000 cans are produced daily. As Rust Belt Warriors, B'laster promises that by the time a product ends up in your hands, it's only because the pros have told them it's the best. Whether you're a professional technician dealing with seized fasteners daily or a weekend warrior tackling a stubborn restoration project, B'laster's chemically engineered solutions are designed to work where other products simply fall short.
