LOCTITE LB8700
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- Molybdenum Disulfide Anti-Seize Formulation
- Galling Prevention in Assembly
- Improved Clamp Load Consistency
Product Description
LOCTITE® LB 8700™ (Moly 50™) is a molybdenum disulfide-based anti-seize and thread lubricant designed to prevent galling, seizure, and wear in threaded fasteners and metal assemblies. The non-curing compound provides excellent lubricity, improves clamp load consistency, and facilitates future disassembly of components exposed to elevated temperatures and demanding service conditions. It is suitable for machine threads, tapered pipe threads, press-fit joints, and slip-fit assemblies.
Key Features & Benefits
