Bostik Never-Seez® Regular Grade NSA-16 Aerosol | Anti-Seize & Extreme Pressure Lubricant
Bostik Never-Seez® Regular Grade NSA-16 Aerosol is a high-performance anti-seize and extreme pressure lubricant designed to protect metal parts against seizure, corrosion, and galling. Its copper and graphite particle formula—suspended in a lithium soap grease—delivers reliable protection in temperatures ranging from -297°F to 1800°F (-183°C to 982°C).
Key Benefits
-
Extends component service life by reducing wear on metal parts under load
-
Lowers maintenance costs by minimizing unplanned parts replacement
-
Enables faster disassembly even after exposure to high temperatures, reducing downtime during repairs
-
Prevents carbon fusion on fasteners and threaded components
-
Resists a broad range of corrosive agents, including alkaline solutions, most chemical and acid vapors, road salt, steam, salt water, and iodized water
- Prevents galling on steel-to-stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, and other hard metal interfaces
