Product Information

Full details

Carlube Copper Grease is a high-performance, lead-free anti-seize compound for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to prevent seizing and galling on metal components. It ensures easy release of threaded parts, even after prolonged exposure to harsh conditions. While excellent for many applications, users must exercise caution to avoid applying it to friction surfaces of brakes or the electrical system.

FAQs

Can Carlube Copper Grease be used on all brake components?

No. It should only be applied to the *back* of the brake pads or caliper mounting points. Never apply it to the friction material of the pad or the brake disc surface, as this will severely compromise braking performance.

What is the main benefit of using copper grease?

Its primary benefit is to prevent metal-on-metal seizure and galling, ensuring that threaded components can be easily disassembled even after exposure to heat, corrosion, or pressure.

Is this product safe for use on aluminum components?

Yes, copper grease is generally safe for use on aluminum and other metals. Its anti-corrosive properties are beneficial in preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

How much copper grease should I apply?

A thin, even layer is usually sufficient. The goal is to coat the threads or mating surfaces to provide a barrier, not to apply a thick, excessive amount.

Can I use this on electrical connections?

While it can be used on battery terminals for corrosion protection, it is not recommended for general electrical connections where conductive greases or specific electrical contact cleaners are more appropriate.

What are the key applications for this product?

Key applications include spark plug threads, exhaust clamps, wheel studs, battery terminals, and any threaded fasteners that may be difficult to remove due to corrosion or high temperatures.

Is this product a lubricant?

It acts as an anti-seize compound and lubricant for threaded fasteners and mating surfaces, primarily to prevent seizing and galling, rather than as a high-speed or heavy-load bearing lubricant.

Troubleshooting

Product is difficult to spread.

Ensure the product has not been exposed to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods. If it has hardened, gentle warming might help, but avoid overheating. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry.

Threads still seize after application.

Ensure an adequate amount of grease was applied evenly to the entire thread length. Verify that the components were not overtightened beyond recommended torque, which can sometimes cause thread damage regardless of lubrication.

Grease appears to be contaminated.

Ensure the tube cap is securely closed after each use. Store in a clean environment and avoid using contaminated tools for application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup and Application:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be treated are clean, dry, and free from grease or oil.
  2. Using a brush, finger, or applicator, apply a thin, even layer of Carlube Copper Grease to the threads of nuts and bolts, or the mating surfaces as required.
  3. For brake pads, apply only to the *back plate* of the pad, not the friction material or the rotor surface.
  4. Assemble components as per manufacturer specifications.

Compatibility:

Carlube Copper Grease is compatible with most metals and is designed for use in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. It is *not* recommended for use on electronic components or high-speed bearings where specialized synthetic greases are required.

Care:

  • Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and drying out.
  • Clean up any excess grease promptly with a suitable degreaser.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after use.
