Product Information
Full details
The Fuchs RENOLIT Copper Paste is for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts working on high-temperature applications. Its key benefit is preventing seized and corroded threaded fittings, especially under extreme heat, up to 1100°C. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's not a general-purpose lubricant for all applications. This 100g tube of anti-seize paste is formulated to protect components from corrosion and galling during assembly, ensuring easier dismantling later.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of Fuchs RENOLIT Copper Paste?
Its primary purpose is to prevent threaded fittings and components from seizing and corroding, especially in high-temperature environments, and to reduce the torque required for dismantling.
What is the maximum operating temperature for this paste?
The paste is designed to lubricate effectively up to 1100°C.
Can I use this paste on all types of bolts and threads?
It is ideal for most automotive and industrial threaded fittings, particularly those exposed to heat, such as spark plug threads, exhaust components, and wheel nuts. Always check compatibility if dealing with highly specialized materials.
How much paste should I apply?
Apply a thin, even layer to the threads or contact surfaces. Over-application is generally not necessary and can lead to mess.
Is this paste suitable for electrical connections?
No, this paste is not intended for electrical connections and should be kept away from sensitive electronic components.
How should I store the remaining paste?
Store the paste in its original container with the cap tightly closed in a cool, dry place to prevent it from drying out.
What should I do if I get the paste on my skin?
Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Troubleshooting
Paste seems dry or difficult to spread
Ensure the tube cap is sealed when not in use. If slightly dry, try working a small amount between gloved fingers to re-soften, or add a drop of suitable lubricant if specified by the manufacturer.
Components are still difficult to dismantle
Verify that the paste was applied to clean surfaces and in sufficient quantity to cover the critical areas. Ensure the component was not exposed to extreme conditions beyond the paste's rated temperature limit.
Paste appears to have melted or dripped
While designed for high temperatures, extreme thermal shock or temperatures significantly exceeding the 1100°C limit may cause changes in consistency. Ensure the application environment is within the product's specifications.
