FAQs

What is Molyslip Copaslip used for?

It is an anti-seize compound designed to prevent parts, especially threaded connections, from seizing, galling, and corroding under extreme temperatures and pressures, facilitating easier assembly and dismantling.

What is the temperature range for Molyslip Copaslip?

Molyslip Copaslip is effective in temperatures from sub-zero (-18°C / 0°F) up to 1100°C (2000°F).

Can I use Copaslip on dissimilar metals?

Yes, Copaslip is specifically formulated to protect against corrosion and seizing when joining dissimilar metals.

How much Copaslip should I use?

Apply a thin, even layer to one of the mating surfaces. Over-application is not necessary and can lead to messiness.

Does Copaslip prevent rust?

Yes, it contains highly effective oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that protect against rust and other forms of corrosion.

Is this product suitable for brake components?

Yes, it is recommended by major automotive manufacturers for use behind disc brake pads to prevent squeal and on drum brake pivot points.

How should I store the Copaslip compound?

Store in its original container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and drying.

Troubleshooting

Parts are still difficult to dismantle

Ensure surfaces were adequately cleaned before application and that a sufficient, even layer of Copaslip was applied. Verify the assembly was within the specified temperature and pressure limits for the product.

Compound seems dry or clumpy

This can occur if the container was left open. Stir the compound thoroughly. If it remains excessively dry, it may be past its effective lifespan. Ensure proper storage for future use.

Difficulty applying a thin, even layer

Use a small brush or a gloved finger for application. Ensure the compound is at a workable temperature; if it's extremely cold, slightly warming the tube might help, but avoid excessive heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against seizure and galling in extreme conditions.
  • Facilitates easy assembly and significantly simplifies dismantling.
  • Provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and oxidation.
  • Reduces required assembly torque, saving time and effort.
  • Effective across a very wide temperature range.
  • Protects against damage to threads and mating surfaces.

Cons

  • Can be messy if not applied carefully.
  • Requires thorough cleaning of surfaces before application for best results.
  • Not intended for use as a general lubricant for moving parts beyond its anti-seize function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be treated are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and existing corrosion.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of Molyslip Copaslip to one of the mating surfaces (typically the male thread) using a brush or gloved finger.
  3. Avoid over-application. A small amount is sufficient to provide protection.
  4. Assemble the parts as per manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility:

Molyslip Copaslip is compatible with most metals and can be used with dissimilar metals without promoting galvanic corrosion. It is suitable for use in environments where other lubricants may degrade or fail due to high temperatures or chemical exposure.

Care:

Store the compound in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and drying. Clean up any excess compound immediately after application. If skin contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
