Anti-Seize Compounds for Threaded & High-Temperature Connections
Anti-seize compounds prevent thread galling, corrosion, and seizure on bolts, studs, and fittings subjected to high temperatures, corrosive environments, and extreme pressure. Our selection includes copper-based, nickel-based, and molybdenum disulfide anti-seize formulas suitable for oilfield, pipeline, and high-temperature industrial applications. Properly applied anti-seize extends fastener life and makes future maintenance easier.
Use anti-seize compounds alongside penetrating oils and lubricants and thread sealants in a complete maintenance program. Essential for threaded connections on pipeline equipment, power tools, and heavy machinery operating in harsh outdoor conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is anti-seize used for?
Anti-seize prevents threaded connections from seizing due to heat, corrosion, or galvanic action. It's essential for stainless steel, aluminum, and dissimilar metal connections in oilfield and high-temperature environments.
What is the difference between copper and nickel anti-seize?
Copper anti-seize works well up to ~1800°F and is good for general use. Nickel anti-seize is preferred for high-temperature applications above 1800°F and in environments with strong acids or caustics, common in petroleum processing.
Should I use anti-seize on pipe threads?
For pipe threads, thread sealant compounds are typically used instead of anti-seize. However, anti-seize is appropriate for mechanical fasteners and non-sealing threaded connections on pipeline equipment.
