Assembly Pastes
Not a lubricant — a guarantee that a joint stays serviceable.
Where assembly paste earns its keep
| Application | Problem solved | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust and hot-line bolts | Heat-induced seizing | Stays serviceable at maintenance |
| Stainless bolt/nut | Galling | Prevents thread damage |
| Interference fit assembly | Surface damage during assembly | Easy, damage-free assembly |
| Outdoor exposed connections | Corrosion | Thread stays protected |
Frequently asked questions
What does assembly paste do?
Two things: eases assembly, and prevents parts from seizing together over time. Bolts on hot or corrosive lines become unremovable at the next service without it.
My hot-line bolts won't come loose — help?
That's classic seizing — surfaces have fused at high temperature. For the current job, penetrating oil and controlled heat may help; going forward, use high-temperature assembly paste on reassembly.
Why should paste be used on stainless bolts?
Stainless-to-stainless contact is prone to galling — threads sticking and tearing so the bolt can't be turned either way. Assembly paste largely eliminates this risk.
Which assembly paste should I choose?
Operating temperature, joint material, and environment (moisture, chemical, food contact) determine it. Tell us these three and we'll select together.
