1. What is JENOLITE Copper Anti-Seize?
JENOLITE Copper Anti-Seize is a high-quality lubricant and anti-seize compound designed for high-temperature applications. It protects metal surfaces from corrosion, rust, galling, and seizure, reducing metal-to-metal friction in threaded and non-threaded connections.
2. What are the key benefits?
- High-temperature resistant: Can withstand very high temperatures without burning off.
- Corrosion & rust protection: Guards against moisture, acid wear, and corrosion.
- Reduces friction & seizure: Prevents galling, sticking, and metal-to-metal wear.
- Brake squeal prevention: Reduces noise from disc brakes.
- Instant and long-lasting protection: Works immediately and won’t wash away in normal conditions.
- Versatile use: Suitable for automotive, industrial, and high-temperature applications.
3. What surfaces and applications is it suitable for?
- Automotive threaded and non-threaded connections (nuts, bolts, exhausts, head gaskets, battery terminals, UV joints)
- Brake components to prevent squeal
- Industrial machinery or high-temperature equipment
- Metal surfaces prone to rust, corrosion, or seizure
4. How do I apply JENOLITE Copper Anti-Seize?
- Shake the can well before use.
- Spray sparingly from 25–30 cm away for a thin, even coating.
- Ensure both contact surfaces are fully coated for maximum protection.
- Assemble components immediately after application.
5. Can it be used on hot surfaces?
Yes, JENOLITE Copper Anti-Seize can be applied to warm components, but for best results, surfaces should ideally be at moderate temperatures during assembly.
6. How much coverage does one can provide?
- Aerosol 400ml: Covers several small components (nuts, bolts, joints).
- Tin 500ml: Better suited for repeated use or larger parts.
Coverage depends on component size and coating thickness.
7. How should I store the product?
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- To prevent nozzle blockages, invert the aerosol and spray for 2 seconds after each use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
8. Is it safe to use on all metals?
Yes, but it is especially effective on steel, iron, copper, and alloys. Avoid use on plastic or rubber surfaces.
9. Will it prevent brake squeal?
Yes, when applied to appropriate brake components, it reduces friction and minimises disc brake noise.
10. Can it be used in extreme conditions?
Yes, it’s suitable for very high temperatures, acidic environments, and humid conditions, providing long-lasting protection even under harsh conditions.
11. How often should it be reapplied?
Reapplication is generally only needed if the coated surface is cleaned, exposed to extreme wear, or dismantled. Otherwise, it provides durable, long-lasting protection.
12. Is it environmentally safe?
The aerosol contains solvents; use in a well-ventilated area and dispose of empty cans responsibly. The product itself does not contain heavy metals like lead.
13. Can I use it with painted or coated surfaces?
It is designed for metal-to-metal applications. Avoid spraying on painted surfaces unless you want it to provide lubrication without affecting the paint. Always test a small area first.
14. What are common mistakes to avoid?
- Over-applying — only a thin, even layer is needed.
- Using on surfaces that are excessively dirty or oily — clean the metal first.
- Forgetting to clear the aerosol nozzle after use, which can block the spray.
