MiniBill, I think you are talking about a product called "Never Seez".

There are 2 types of anti-seize, copper based and nickel based.

The copper one made here is called KoprKote and now sold by Caltex (was Ampol previously). It's in a tin.
There are other brands of similar stuff, in tubes.

The nickel anti-seize one I have is in a tube, Permatex brand, sold by Supercrap, AutoBarn, Repco etc.

Nickel one is best for high temps, eg. exhaust system slip joints. The copper one is fine for everything else.

I found Penetrine at the local industrial tool supplier. $8.15 for a half litre bottle. Works just as well as the last bottle I finished years ago.

Cheers,


Its not meant for drinking , i prefer Bourbon :lol:

As an aside does anyone remember/know the name of the silver/metallic paste that you would put on bolts so they wouldnt sieze ? we used it on water pumps years ago to ward of rusting etc " not sure how it would go in a car though " ? anyone used it tried it ?

Cheers Bill


It is obviously an anti sieze paste. There are a few with different components. Eg copper etc.

Supercrap have a couple of different ones for about $8 a tube i think.

Despite the obvious contradiction, Loctite make a couple of good antiseize products. They have a silver (which I think is nickel) and a copper. They come in a thing like a glue stick, which is really convenient to use because it doesn't leak out all over the place like the stuff that comes in tubes.

What was called Permatex in the past is now sold as Loctite...
