Main features

  • Non-Metallic Conductive Anti-Seize
  • 482 deg C Operating Range
  • 0.13 Steel Fastener Torque Coefficient

Product Description

LOCTITE LB 8504 is a one-component, non-metallic graphite and petrolatum anti-seize paste for threaded and fitted metal joints. The dark gray paste is applied full strength to machine threads, tapered pipe threads, press-fit joints and slip-fit joints. It has a typical penetration of 310 to 360 in 0.1 mm units under ISO 2137 and a specific gravity of 1.18 at 25 deg C. The formulation is electrically conductive in metal-to-metal joints and supports an operating range from -29 to 482 deg C. A torque coefficient of 0.13 is reported on the specified steel bolt-and-nut configuration.

Key features

  • Non-metallic graphite paste: Synthetic graphite and petrolatum provide anti-seize lubrication without metallic solids.
  • High-temperature joint service: The applied paste supports use from -29 to 482 deg C.
  • Controlled torque response: A torque coefficient of 0.13 is reported on the specified steel fastener configuration.

Applications

Applications include machine threads, tapered pipe threads, press-fit joints, slip-fit joints and anti-seize lubrication of metal assemblies.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
