different types of Anti-seize?

[Morgonzo]

I've seen guy's talking about Nickel and Graphite anti-seize, and I got some Copper from Orielly's. Is there a big difference between them?

Any preferences and the reasons for?

Thanks.

I like copper.

That's what my dad, who knew more about mechanic work then I ever will, preferred and that's what I use.

Not sure of the differences, but I use the silver-ish stuff in the silver-ish bottle. It is made by permatex and I've not had any issue getting apart something I've used it on. Been using this stuff for at least 10 years.

I do know there is some "marine grade" anti-seaze and I may look into that when this jar needs replaced.......

This is the stuff I have on hand now....

Thanks for the reply's guy's...make me feel better about all that Copper anti-seize i've been using!

Marine-grade sounds interesting....

i always thought tht the copper was for hi temp applications,
and nickle and graphite were for stainless and aluminum.
not many people know this, but when assembling stainless hardware, you MUST use anti seize, if you dont the threads can gaull.
locking the hardware together.
and it a royal PITA.
so anti seize is a must.

at home i use nothing but copper. its what i have, and its lasted for over a decade....

i think another question is....
does anti seize have a shelf life like loctite?

That all makes sense. I would have to imagine that if it did have a shelf-life, it'd be long enough to where anybody who uses it on a fairly regular basis would have a real low chance of it going bad on them.

Love that 6 door CC btw IDIot...

I'm wondering about that marine grade though, If you're gonna be getting the engine wet a lot, fording rivers and what-not...might be a bit of added insurance...

thanks. i cant wait for it to be done!

i wouldnt not waste any time on marine grade.

like i said ive been using the copper for a decade,
most for marine use, and ive never had an issue.
i have 6 boats that i have either built or waiting to build.
everytime i do a engine swap ot work, i still find anti seize on the bolts i used them on, and my little boats do endure alot of water.

I like loctite c-200. It's got that really slippery slimy goodness.

They push the graphite based products on us at work now. Probably cheaper.

I just got a quick lesson on this a couple weeks ago from of all people: my wife. Silver/standard grade is aluminum, copper is higher temp, nickel is actually the highest temperature, marine grade (also high temp) is made for high humidity/saltwater environments, heavy duty is copper & nickel free and best for stainless steel and/or titanium. I think the graphited stuff is for electrically conductive or non-conductive.

My wife works for Henkel, I'll see if she has anything more specific as I'm a adhesive and sealants flunkie by her standards.

The Boss just told me pages 85-88 of the Loctite Sourcebook should answer all your anti-seize questions.
