Product Information
Full details
Designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, Carlube Copper Grease is a high-performance lead-free anti-seize compound that ensures threaded fasteners remain easy to remove even after exposure to extreme heat and corrosive environments. While it is an essential tool for preventing seized nuts and bolts on critical automotive components, users must exercise caution to ensure the compound never contacts friction materials or sensitive electrical components.

FAQs
Can I use this on electrical battery terminals?
Yes, it is suitable for battery terminals to prevent corrosion, but take care to only apply it to the exterior connection points to ensure it does not create unwanted paths for electricity.
Is this safe for ABS sensors?
No. Keep copper grease away from ABS sensors and electronic wiring as the metallic particles can cause signal interference or shorts.
Does it melt at high exhaust temperatures?
No, it is based on a non-melting grease specifically engineered for high-temperature exhaust clamps and bolts.
How should I store the container?
Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly closed to prevent the ingress of dirt or moisture.
Can I use it on plastic components?
It is intended for metal-to-metal applications and is not recommended for use on plastic, as the mineral oils in the grease may degrade certain types of rubber or plastic.
Is it lead-free?
Yes, the product is formulated as a lead-free anti-seize compound.
Troubleshooting
Grease is dripping off the component.
You have likely applied too much. Wipe away the excess with a clean rag; a thin film is sufficient for anti-seize performance.
Brakes still squeal after application.
Ensure that the grease was applied only to the back of the brake pad backing plate and mounting hardware. If it has reached the friction material, you must clean the disc and pad immediately with a dedicated brake cleaner.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents seized fasteners even after years of corrosion
- Simplifies maintenance by ensuring easy removal of bolts
- Effective at extreme operating temperatures
- Provides a protective layer against rust
- Lead-free composition
Cons
- Risk of brake failure if applied to friction material
- Can be messy to handle if not used sparingly
- Not suitable for use on electrical contact points
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dirt or old grease. Use a brush or your fingers to apply a thin, even film to the threads or metal-to-metal contact points. Do not over-apply, as excessive grease can migrate to areas where it is not desired.
Compatibility Notice: This product is compatible with standard automotive steel, cast iron, and common alloys.
Warning: Never apply copper grease to the friction face of brake pads, brake discs, or directly into electrical connectors, as the metallic content can interfere with braking performance or cause electrical shorting.
