Product Description
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Multi-purpose high temperature ceramic separating and mounting paste. CRC Metal Free Paste is a white, metal-free paste, based on high-tech ceramic solid lubricants and matured additives suspended in a mineral/synthetic premium grade stable oil. It is an effective anti-seize formulation for applications from -40°C up to +1.400°C, preventing metal-to-metal contact, seizing, galling and fretting corrosion.
2. FEATURES
Contains no free metals
Reduces friction and wear, even when the base oil has already evaporated
High pressure and high temperature resistance
Protects against burning-in, corrosion and seizing
No galvanic corrosion potential
Fast and easy mounting of threaded parts
Facilitates disassembly of all parts exposed to high temperatures, even after prolonged use in corrosive atmospheres
Stops and prevents disc brake noise and vibration
Hot and cold water resistant
Free from lead, copper, nickel, and their compounds
Aerosol formulation does not contain chlorinated solvents and uses LPG propellant
3. APPLICATIONS
Machines
Flanges
Disc brakes
Cylinder heads
Threaded parts
Exhaust screw connections
Heat exchangers
Turbines
Fittings
Bolts, nuts, screws

4. DIRECTIONS
The surfaces to be treated should be clean, dry and grease-free. Wire-brush scaled parts and clean with an oil-free solvent like CRC Industrial Degreaser.
A thin, even film should be applied either by spraying or by brushing.
Assembled parts can slowly be put in motion.
Avoid mixing with other products.
Test before use on plastics and rubber.
-
Do not use on energised equipment, oxygen systems or in presence of acetylene.
Use aerosol only in ventilated areas.
A safety data sheet (MSDS) according EU-directive 93/112 is available for all CRC products.

FAQs of CRC METAL FREE PASTE ANTI SEIZE COMPOUND:
Q: How should CRC Metal Free Paste Anti Seize Compound be applied to metal surfaces?
A: For optimal results, ensure the metal surface is clean and dry before applying a thin, even layer of the compound to the desired areas such as threads, bolts, or flanges. Use a brush or spatula to spread the paste, taking care to cover all contact points where seizure or corrosion might occur.
Q: What are the main benefits of using CRC Metal Free Paste Anti Seize Compound?
A: The primary benefits include prevention of seizure, galling, and corrosion in metal assemblies, especially those exposed to extreme pressure, high temperatures, water, and salt spray. This ensures easier future disassembly and longer component life.
Q: When is it recommended to use CRC Metal Free Paste Anti Seize Compound?
A: This anti seize paste is best used during the assembly of metal parts that will operate in harsh environments or under extreme pressures and temperatures, such as machinery, marine equipment, and automotive assemblies. It is particularly useful in preventing issues caused by salt exposure and chemical washdowns.
Q: Where can I use CRC Metal Free Paste Anti Seize Compound?
A: This product is suitable for any metal-to-metal contacts prone to seizing, corrosion, or wear, including threaded fasteners, bolts, flanges, gaskets, and industrial machinery. It is highly recommended for use in marine, chemical, and heavy industry environments.
Q: What is the process for cleaning up after using the anti seize compound?
A: Any excess compound can be wiped away with a cloth, and tools can be cleaned using an appropriate solvent or degreaser. If required, ensure that contaminated rags and residual product are disposed of in accordance with local waste regulations.
Q: Does CRC Metal Free Paste Anti Seize Compound have a shelf life?
A: This product has an indefinite shelf life when stored properly in its original, tightly sealed packaging and protected from excessive heat, moisture, or contamination.
