Anti-seize does something to a bolted joint that is easy to overlook and expensive to ignore: it changes the friction between the threads, so the same torque produces a much higher bolt tension than it would on a dry thread. On a joint where preload matters — a flange, a cylinder head, a structural connection — applying anti-seize and then tightening to the dry-thread torque figure overtightens the bolt, and it can be yielded or broken by a procedure everyone believes they followed correctly. If the compound is used, the torque figure has to come from the procedure that assumes it. The selection itself follows the temperature and the metals. Copper-based compounds are the general workshop choice and are avoided where copper contamination is a concern, nickel-based grades suit higher temperatures and stainless assemblies, and the specific problem they solve on stainless is galling, where threads cold-weld and seize on the first assembly.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
| Joint type | Flange bolting, structural, exhaust, or general assembly |
|---|---|
| Preload critical | If yes, the torque figure must assume the compound is present |
| Operating temperature | Maximum the joint reaches in service |
| Materials joined | Carbon steel, stainless, or a dissimilar metal pair |
| Galling risk | Stainless threads cold-weld on assembly without a compound |
| Compound base | Copper, nickel, aluminium, or metal-free |
| Contamination limits | State if copper or other metals are prohibited in the service |
| Chemical exposure | Process fluid the compound may contact |
| Application method | Brush top, aerosol, or bulk with separate applicators |
| Shelf life on delivery | Minimum remaining life your stores procedure requires |
| Safety data sheets | Required with the offer, in the language the site uses |
| Annual volume | Consumption per grade for a schedule price |
