Loctite LB 8012 Anti-seize Moly Paste Lubricant 453.6g
Ensure reliable assembly and trouble-free disassembly with Loctite LB 8012 Anti-seize Moly Paste Lubricant (453.6g). Formulated with 65% molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and premium rust inhibitors, it provides maximum lubricity and protects critical mechanical assemblies during crucial running-in periods.
This heavy black paste is engineered to resist high static and slow-moving loads, reducing machine tool marks and surface irregularities to a mirror-smooth finish. By establishing a low and uniform friction coefficient of 0.06, it ensures consistent clamping torque and eliminates common assembly issues like binding, chatter, stick-slip, and galling. The lubricant stays securely in place despite intense heat, heavy load, and continuous vibration. For proper surface preparation before application, ensure components are cleaned thoroughly using Loctite 7063.
Key Applications & Industrial Uses
- Threaded Fasteners: Reduces friction on bolts, nuts, and studs for higher clamping force per torque input and easier removal.
- Press Fits & Slip Fits: Allows for low-force assembly, ready alignment, and smooth disassembly without binding or chatter.
- Metalworking Operations: Minimizes friction, scratches, and metal pick-up during drawing, stamping, coining, extruding, and forging to lengthen die life.
- Splines & Gears: Reduces wear and binding under high static or slow-moving mechanical loads.

Directions for Industrial Application
- For optimal performance, mating surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry, and free of grease or contaminants.
- When wire brushing or grinding old threads, always wear a protective dust mask. Thread dust may contain hazardous metal compounds; ensure your team is equipped with the correct industrial [Link to: PPE and Dust Masks].
- Apply a thin, uniform coating of the moly paste directly to the mating surfaces using the brush top applicator, then assemble.
- Do not dilute or use thinners. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
- Storage: Store in the unopened original container in a dry location. Optimal storage temperature is between 8°C and 21°C. Storage below 8°C or above 28°C can adversely alter product properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Loctite LB 8012 be used in oxygen systems or with strong oxidizing agents?
A: No. Loctite LB 8012 is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen-rich systems. It should not be selected as a lubricant or sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
Q: What is the primary benefit of the 65% molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) content?
A: The high concentration of MoS₂ provides an exceptionally low and uniform friction coefficient of 0.06. This ensures maximum lubricity, prevents galling and metal pick-up under extreme pressure, and allows fasteners to achieve higher clamping loads at lower torque settings.
Q: Is this product suitable for high-temperature applications?
A: Yes, Loctite LB 8012 is highly temperature-resistant and maintains its lubricating properties across a wide operating thermal window from -29°C up to +400°C.
