Loctite LB 8017 Moly Dry Film Anti-seize Lubricant

Maximize equipment lifespan and prevent catastrophic component seizing with LOCTITE® LB 8017 Moly Dry Film Anti-Seize Lubricant. Engineered as a heavy-duty, commercial-grade solid film lubricant, this molybdenum-disulfide formulation provides a robust, non-curing protective barrier that withstands extreme pressure and harsh industrial environments.

Key Applications & Performance Benefits

• Extreme Temperature Resilience: Functions reliably under continuous sliding friction from -20.2°F to +752°F (-29°C to +400°C), and extends up to +2,399°F (+1,315°C) for specialized anti-seize applications.
• Enhanced Clamp Load Uniformity: Developed specifically for threaded fasteners to help achieve greater, more uniform clamp loads for the same torque compared to unlubricated assemblies.
• Fluid & Solvent Resistance: Air-dried films provide excellent resistance to water and aqueous solutions, while oven-curing the film eliminates solubility in most organic solvents and industrial fluids.
• Versatile Industrial Utility: Ideal for gas turbine engine blades, exposed gears, conveyor chains, press fits, valve stems, electrical circuit breakers, and metal-forming production (swaging, cold extrusion).

Before application, ensure surfaces are completely degreased and free of contaminants using an industrial degreaser like Loctite 7063 to achieve optimal film adhesion.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the maximum operating temperature for LOCTITE LB 8017 in anti-seize applications?

For anti-seize lubrication, LOCTITE LB 8017 functions reliably at extreme temperatures ranging from -20.2°F to +2,399°F (-29°C to +1,315°C). For continuous sliding friction applications, the rated temperature range is -29°C to +400°C.

2. Can LOCTITE LB 8017 be used in oxygen-rich systems or chemical processing lines?

No. This product is strictly not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen-rich systems. It should not be selected as a lubricant or sealant where chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials are present.

3. How does this dry film lubricant improve torque and clamp load performance on bolts?

When applied to threaded bolts, LOCTITE LB 8017 reduces friction variability, helping develop a greater clamp load for the same amount of torque compared to an unlubricated bolt. This ensures greater torque uniformity across a series of heavy-duty fasteners.

4. Does LOCTITE LB 8017 wash off when exposed to solvents or water?

An air-dried film of LOCTITE LB 8017 resists water and water solutions but can be softened by organic solvents and oils. If your application requires high solvent resistance, oven-curing the film prevents it from dissolving in most industrial fluids.
