What can be used in place of anti-seize?
Soft soap/White petroleum jelly/Vaseline.
- Copaslip. Copaslip is an anti-seize compound consisting of finely divided copper particles in a non-melting bentone base to which are added highly effective oxidation and corrosion inhibitors.
- Molyslip/MolyKote:
- Grease:
- Lubricating Oil.
- Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly/Soft Soap:
What is anti-seize compound made of?
Straight out of the tube or bottle, anti-seize is made up of a high-quality grease base and lubricating solids (copper, graphite, aluminum, calcium oxide etc.), which are suspended in the grease. Here’s a video on how to use anti-seize, specifically LOCTITE® LB 8007™ (Known as LOCTITE® Copper Anti-Seize Lubricant).
Does WD-40 work as anti-seize?
No. WD-40 is used to loosen things and remove rusted parts. Anti seize is used to prevent parts from rusting together. WD-40 is a good product, but Permatex is superior in that it is a long term anti-seize compound with a paste like consistency use to prevent rust and corrosion.
Can grease be used as anti-seize?
grease reduces the friction between two surfaces and allows them to pass over each other with less effort. anti-seize stops two surfaces bonding together. You can use grease quite effectively as an anti-seize compound. It’s not as good in high temperature applications, but there aren’t any of those on a bike.

Is anti seize the same as grease?
Designed to convert torque to tightening force more efficiently, anti-seize is formulated with high solids content and a carrier grease. Yet unlike grease, the solid lubricant in anti-seize can withstand high temperatures and protect parts from galling and seizure even under extremely stressful environments.
Is it OK to put anti seize on lug nuts?
In reality, yes you can use a little bit of anti seize by putting some on the stud and running the nut down and then back off so it spreads even. Clean off any globs and then torque to spec, not with an impact, unless you have a torq-stick.
What is anti seize grease?
Anti-seize grease or compound is commonly applied to fasteners to prevent the threads from becoming galled or damaged, especially when dissimilar metals are involved.
What is the difference between copper and nickel anti-seize?
Nickel Grade Anti-Seize is a premium anti-seize lubricant recommended for protecting metal fittings from rust, corrosion, galling and seizure at temperatures up to 2600° F. Copper Grade Anti-Seize is copper in color and is not recommended for applications where copper is prohibited.
Is it OK to put anti-seize on lug nuts?
What is anti seize compound/paste?
Anti-seize Compound/Paste is formed by dispersing Solid lubricants in grease or a binder. When applied, anti-seize paste creates a thick film that serves the purpose of preventing contact between two mating surfaces. This reduces difficulty during dismantling and forms a low friction coating.
Where should anti-seize be applied?
Anti-seize should be applied where two metals meet, under the head of fastener and in the threads. for through hole clean the exposed thread area as it may attract contaminant leading to damage of threads. When should anti-seize be used?
What is the PSI of anti-seize?
Anti-seize compounds where engineered for stationary assemblies or very slow moving parts with heavy bearing loads. When one sees “PSI” with Anti-seize compounds it should be known this is static pressures and not dynamic pressures as associated with sealants for liquids or gas.
Why choose anti-seize compounds?
Anti-seize compounds serve almost all major end users, including automotive & transportation, petrochemicals, mining, and others. The industrial sector in Asia Pacific is growing substantially, thereby increasing the demand for anti-seize compounds in the region.
