Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use anti seize products?

There are many benefits to using lubricants and anti seize grease products in your plant, such as:

• Provide assistance for interference fits
• Improve lifespan of vibrating systems by reducing the fretting wear
• Reduce friction on splines and couplings

Where does anti seize need to be applied?

A thin layer of anti seize should be applied to all interfaces in the assembly process that require it. This protects all interfaces in the system. On fastener assemblies, it should be used on:

• Bolt and stud threadings
• Unthreaded parts of bolts within the assembly
• Nut faces
• Underneath bolt faces
• Washers

How much anti seize lubricant or grease should be applied?

In most cases, only a thin (~0.1mm) layer is sufficient. As bolt threads tighten, any excess anti seize will be distributed along the thread, so avoid applying excessive amounts to threads.

How often does anti seize need to be applied?

The compounds found within anti seize products allow it to persist through the service interval for your interfaces. This means that unlike many greases and oils used in bearings and gearboxes, it doesn’t need to be reapplied so long as fasteners and interfaces aren’t disassembled.

In this case, components should be cleaned and anti seize product should be reapplied to ensure a safe and efficient operation.

How do I remove anti-seize compounds from surfaces?

High quality industrial degreaser products can remove anti seize compounds as well as most solvent cleaners. Opt for a less abrasive cleaning materials whilst cleaning, such as soft brushes or rags.
