Bostik Pure Nickel Special Never-Seez NSN-165: High-Temperature Anti-Seize Lubricant

Bostik Never-Seez Pure Nickel Special (NSN-165) is a superior, copper-free anti-seize and extreme pressure lubricant rated for use in temperatures from -297°F to 2400°F (-183°C to 1316°C). Formulated with flake particles of pure nickel and graphite in a special grease carrier, NSN-165 is engineered to prevent seizure, galling, and corrosion in the most demanding industrial environments — including applications where copper-based compounds are prohibited.

Key Benefits of Bostik Never-Seez NSN-165

  • Prevents seizure at high temperatures, protecting parts up to 2400°F (1316°C)
  • Prevents galling on steel-to-stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, and other hard metal assemblies
  • Resists galvanic action between dissimilar metals, extending service life
  • Enables fast disassembly even after prolonged high-temperature exposure
  • Resists alkaline solutions, acid vapors, road salt, steam, salt water, and ionized water
  • Excellent heat dispersing qualities to reduce thermal stress at connection points
  • Minimizes corrosion, ensuring long-term protection for critical fasteners and fittings
  • Copper-free formula — safe for applications where copper contamination is a concern

Pure Nickel Special Never Seez is engineered for demanding industrial applications where standard anti-seize compounds are insufficient. Typical applications include:

  • Fittings and fasteners exposed to high temperatures in steel mills, power plants, and nuclear plants
  • Stainless steel pipe fittings, flanges, and pump fittings
  • Fasteners in exhaust manifolds and boilers
  • Steam generators
  • Assembly of dissimilar metals requiring protection from galvanic corrosion

NSN-165 is particularly well suited to environments requiring a copper-free compound — for example, in nuclear or chemical processing facilities where copper contamination could compromise system integrity.
