FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this lubricant can withstand?
The Copper Lube High Temperature Lubricant is effective up to 1100°F (593°C).
How should I apply the lubricant for best results?
Shake the can well, then apply a thin, even coat to clean, dry threads on both the male and female parts.
Can this be used on aluminum parts?
While designed for general threaded connections, it is recommended to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first if using on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, especially in critical applications.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Aerosol products generally have a long shelf life if stored correctly. Keep the can in a cool, dry place away from heat. Refer to the can for any specific expiry date markings.
Does this lubricant protect against rust?
Yes, it offers protection against corrosive environments, which includes preventing rust on threaded connections.
Can I use this on fasteners that will be painted over?
It is generally not recommended to use anti-seize compounds on fasteners that require painting unless specifically stated by the paint manufacturer. The lubricant could interfere with paint adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle Clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent like acetone or appropriate cleaner, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Uneven Spray Pattern
Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently before use. If the issue persists, the nozzle may be partially blocked or damaged. Try cleaning or replacing the nozzle.
Lubricant Not Effective (parts still seized)
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Ensure the lubricant was applied adequately and that the temperature experienced did not exceed the product's stated limits. Reapply if necessary, ensuring proper surface prep.
