Interesting rundown on anti-seize compound "Supacede". By chance have you ever used that "nuclear grade" anti-seize compound that I mentioned earlier? Because I noticed that it was different from any other anti-seize compound I had used in the past or have used in recent times as well. I figure it must have a higher heat tolerance or other properties that make it ideal for use in Nuclear Power Plants?Supacede wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:12 amHey spydergirl,
We work with anti-seize everyday, it's designed to allow high torque applications from seizing up over time in the elements be it weather, corrosive environments, extreme temps etc.
It's designed to allow fastener removal after years of in service in tough environments. Most grades are made with graphite and/or copper which doesn't really degrade over time, prevents fasteners from siezijg together and aids in fastener removal.
Anti-seize had no inherent fastening/thread sealing capabilities like a pipe dope or thread locker. It's solely designed to allow fasteners to be broke free after installation and usage.
I don't really see anti-seize being useful in any part of a pocketknife unless maybe one has extremely corrosive sweat or something.
Hope that helps.
Oh, and to address jd spydo, most grades are readily available to public some just more expensive than others.
Just wondered if you ever dealt with that grade of anti-seize compound before?
