About B'laster: America's #1 Penetrant Brand Since 1957

Few chemical brands carry the kind of real-world credibility that B'laster has earned over more than six decades. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1957, the company was founded by William K. Westley, who originally developed PB B'laster to tackle the brutal corrosion conditions found in phosphate mines. That industrial origin story is no accident — it shaped a brand philosophy built entirely around solving the problems that defeat ordinary lubricants and penetrants.

Today, B'laster serves automotive technicians, industrial maintenance crews, farmers, marine enthusiasts, and serious DIYers with a broad lineup of highly concentrated specialty formulas. The brand's reach spans the automotive, industrial, marine, and hardware industries, yet its roots in demanding, professional-grade applications remain at the core of every product it makes.

Flagship Products: PB B'laster Penetrating Oil

The crown jewel of the B'laster lineup is undeniably its Penetrating Oil. PB B'laster uses a low-surface-tension formula that creeps deep into threads, seams, and tight crevices to break the grip of rust and corrosion on seized nuts, bolts, and mechanical parts. Critically, it also deposits a non-evaporating lubricating film after penetration, helping prevent the same fastener from locking up again. For automotive repairs involving brakes, exhaust components, and suspension hardware — where frozen fasteners are an everyday obstacle — this product has become an essential tool for professionals and home mechanics alike. It remains the #1-selling penetrant in America.

Grease, Lubrication & Surface Protection

Beyond its famous penetrant, B'laster has developed an impressive range of greases and surface protection products. The brand's Multi-Purpose Grease is an NLGI Grade 2 lithium-based formula that delivers long-lasting lubrication while resisting water and guarding against rust — ideal for automotive, marine, and farm applications. For situations where you need penetrating action and grease in one, B'laster's Lithium Grease uniquely harnesses the chemistry of PB B'laster itself, creating a time-release penetrating action that can work through existing corrosion and bond to metal surfaces longer than conventional greases.

Rounding out the protection side of the catalog, B'laster's Surface Rust Protectant products create a durable barrier film on metal surfaces to displace moisture and halt further corrosion — making them a go-to choice for preserving cast iron components, automotive hardware, and marine equipment.

Engine Cleaning & Degreasers

Maintenance doesn't stop at lubrication. B'laster's Engine Cleaners & Degreasers are designed to tackle heavy contamination quickly and safely. Their citrus-based degreaser formula removes tar, grease, oil, resin, and adhesive from virtually any surface and rinses clean with water, leaving no residue — an important trait for components that will be painted or reassembled.
