Loctite LB 8023 Marine Grade Anti-seize 8oz
Loctite LB 8023 Marine Grade Anti-Seize is a commercial-grade, metal-free formulation is engineered from high-purity graphite, calcium, boron nitride, and advanced rust inhibitors to shield heavy-duty assemblies exposed to direct fresh or salt water.
Key Benefits & Applications
- Superior Water Wash-Out Resistance: Formulated to withstand direct, high-pressure spray and continuous exposure to salt water without degrading.
- Galvanic Corrosion Prevention: Metal-free composition eliminates the risk of galvanic reactions between dissimilar metals in marine environments.
- ABS Approved: Certified by the American Bureau of Shipping, meeting strict standards for marine and offshore applications.
- Versatile Industrial Utility: Ideal for bolts, screws, studs, pipe joints, nuts, shafts, bushings, splines, chains, and cables. Commonly deployed in water treatment plants, pulp and paper mills, and as a durable dressing for water pump gaskets and flanges.
