Not sure why everyone is saying that won't work, it is rated up to 1800F. Now is it as good as Permatex? Not sure but it looks like it will work without any negative affects.

I do like the idea of using a tube like this, seen mechanics use tubes and it's easier to manage putting in on stuff like axles. Like Gipper says it gets over everything if you are not careful.

 

I have no idea what the temp coming off the CAT head pipes would be, but, I have used the copper for years and it works great. it also acts like pipe joint compound and seals the pipe so you don't get decel pop and or the carbon leakage at the joint.

 

It is a Dielectric grease may work but I would stick with cooper based products that are known to work.

 

A little goes along way. https://www.autozone.com/miscellaneo...ize/196158_0_0

 

 

Cool. Then why did you post the thread?

What is dielectric grease used for? Hint, it has electric in the name.

 

Dielectric grease is used to lubricate 'things" that conduct electricity, but without shorting out anything. Dielectric = insulator. I used to use it on points, back when engines had points, and it's still useful to use on various connectors, including spark plug wires.

Oh, and use copper antiseize only on any exhaust work.

 

Calm down, I didn't start the thread, just wondering why everyone jumped to the conclusion this couldn't be used because it wasn't specifically a name brand Anti-seize.

It looks to be a general purpose grease that they came out with to address both anti-seize and electric connectors. It states is can be used on spark plugs and it can withstand 1800F temps, so they didn't make it that way just to be dielectric grease.

I will agree with everyone copper anti-seize is probably best, but I have used silver with good success on my exhaust and use it on my axles.

OPs question was could he use it.

 

Most anti seize is the silver and would probably work fine, but the copper based one is for higher temps and may serve your purpose better.
A little dab will do you for sure, that stuff has the ability to get all over you and everything you touch!
Also great for spark plug threads, derby cover bolts, and all kinds of metals.

 

Any "anti seize" will work. I've witnessed industrial turbines rebuilt using the silver stuff. The tech swore by it. The exhaust temp on it is 940 degree's. I have no idea what the combustion chamber see's where he was using it but if it's good enough for that, it's good for an HD exhaust.
