Permatex Anti-Seize Lubricant 8 oz Pack of 12 — Aluminum/Copper/Graphite, High-Temp Protection

Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize Lubricant is a heavy-duty, aluminum/copper/graphite blend designed to prevent galling, corrosion and seizing across temperatures from -60°F to 1600°F.

Built for assemblies that must come apart later, this anti-seize formula combines metallic particles and graphite in a refined carrier to protect fasteners, spark plugs and threaded components from rust, salt spray and heat-induced bonding. It resists moisture and salt corrosion, making it well suited to marine environments, heavy equipment and any application where metal-to-metal contact risks galling or permanent seizure.

How does Permatex Anti-Seize help during installation and maintenance?

Applying a thin coat on threads and contact surfaces reduces friction and prevents cold welding between metal parts. That eases torque control during installation and makes future removal faster and less damaging to bolts and fittings.

• Reduces galling and thread lock-up on stainless steel and other metals
• Makes spark plug and exhaust bolt removal simpler
• Improves consistent torque readings during assembly

Can this lubricant withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments?

Yes — the formula is rated from -60°F to 1600°F and stays stable without evaporating or hardening. Its metallic and graphite content offers long-term protection against salt, moisture and corrosive elements commonly encountered in marine and industrial settings.

• Works reliably under high heat from exhaust systems
• Resists washout from saltwater exposure
• Maintains lubricity at low temperatures for cold-weather service

What components and applications are best for this anti-seize?

The blend of aluminum, copper and graphite provides broad compatibility for threaded fasteners, studs, spark plugs, and cylinder head or exhaust bolts. It’s designed for both routine shop maintenance and demanding field repairs where disassembly is expected.

• Suggested for spark plugs, cylinder head bolts and exhaust bolts
• Suitable for marine hardware, engine components and heavy machinery
• Effective on different metals, including stainless steel and alloy fasteners

How should I apply and store Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize?

Apply a light, even coating to clean threads or mating surfaces before assembly; avoid over-applying, which can affect torque values. Store containers tightly closed in a cool, dry place to preserve consistency and performance.

• Use sparingly on threads — a thin film is sufficient
• Wipe excess away to prevent contamination of adjacent parts
• Keep lids sealed and store away from direct heat or flames

Who is this product for? Technicians, marine mechanics, fleet operators, and DIY enthusiasts who work with threaded fasteners and assemblies that need reliable protection against corrosion and seizure will benefit most. The 12-pack format is ideal for service shops or crews that perform frequent maintenance, while the broad temperature range and salt resistance make it a practical choice for both on-road and off-shore applications.
