Anti-Seize Technology Delivers Copper and Nickel without "Nickel and Diming" the Market


Copper-Graf and Nickel-Graf compounds are standard equipment in the anti-seize industry. Finding these premium metal compounds at reasonable prices is not standard, except at AST.

Franklin Park, Illinois - Anti-Seize Technology (AST) has been manufacturing premium anti-seize compounds since they opened their doors in 1971. Today, along with many other products, AST carries over 20 anti-seize compounds for all industries. But the skyrocketing costs of copper and nickel are not changing the quality of AST's product. "Our Copper and Nickel Graphite compounds have the same percentages of metal as they did before prices for these raw metals almost tripled. We won't compromise the quality of our products and at the same time, are only charging our customers the additional costs we incur. This way our product quality does not waver and our prices stay reasonable for our customers," comments John Heydt, President of Anti-Seize Technology. At a time when some companies are reducing metal content in their Copper and Nickel Compounds or inflating prices to increase profits, AST is doing business with great regard for the customer, the same way it has since 1971. Both Anti-Seize products, Cop-Graf(TM) and Nickel-Graf(TM), maintain the same quality-ingredient and reasonable-price formulas as they have since being introduced. Both products exceed MIL-A-907 specifications, a difficult approval to receive and maintain.

Cop-Graf(TM) is a top-quality anti-seize compound composed of pure copper and graphite in a high heat-resistant carrier. It is designed to lubricate and protect threaded connections and flanges at temperatures to 1,800°F (982°C) and extreme load pressure conditions. Cop-Graf has water-resistant and anti-oxidant properties, does not separate, and is formulated to withstand lengthy service and severe conditions. Using Cop-Graf means stress, strain, and time to disassemble are greatly diminished. For more Cop-Graf information, see our Web site at http://antiseize.com/11000.htm.

Nickel-Graf(TM) is a premium anti-seize lubricant designed to perform in extreme temperature and corrosion environments. It is composed of pure colloidal nickel and graphite flakes dispensed in a superior petroleum carrier designed to withstand temperatures of 2,600ºF (1,426ºC). Nickel-Graf does not contain any copper, lead, or molybdenum disulfide, and will not poison catalyst beds, reaction chambers, or special alloy fittings. It can be used with anhydrous ammonia, acetylene, and other vinyl monomers. For more Nickel-Graf information, see our Web site at http://antiseize.com/13000.htm.

AST products (see antiseize.com) serve many industries and cover a wide range of uses. In addition to ant-seize compounds, other product lines include thread sealants, lubricants, penetrants, threadlockers, protectants, instant-gasket products, and cleaners/degreasers.
