PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Loctite 8009 Heavy Duty Anti-Seize is a graphite/calcium Properties Typical Value
fluoride formulation, which is free from lead, copper, sulphur Torque coefficient, k (steel nuts & bolts) .16
and their compounds. Heavy Duty Anti-Seize contains no free Torque coefficient, k (solvent cleaned, not
lubricated) .27
metals.

Special Features: DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Is recommended for anti-seize lubricant applications from
-29 to +1315º C (-20 to +2400º F)
• Is compatible with stainless steel and other nickel alloys
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Bolts, screws, studs, pipe joints, nuts, plugs, shafts,
bushings, splines, drillings, tappings and thread cutting
(especially hard-to-machine alloys)
• Extruding and forming dies, heat exchangers, shear
blades, metal bending, cold and warm forging, shear
spinning, lathe centres, mechanical packings, wire rope
• Used in chemical plants, oil refineries, power plants,
paper mills, synthetic fibre plants, steel mills and
foundries, ship and aerospace manufacturing and service,
plant maintenance and production of machines,
equipment, tools and instruments.
• Clean mating surfaces before application. (Remove old
compound with wire brush.)
• Note--when grinding or wire brushing, use dust mask.
Dust from cleaning threads may contain metal
compounds. Inhalation may cause lung injury or other
harm.
• Apply thin coating to mating surfaces, assemble.
• Do not use thinner.
• To avoid contamination, keep container closed when not
in use.
• Contains hydrocarbons--do not use in oxygen service.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected
as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing
materials.

Storage
Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE unopened containers at a temperature between 8°C to 28°C
An anti-seize lubricant used on a bolt helps to develop greater (46°F to 82°F) unless otherwise labelled. Optimal storage is

among a series of bolts. The relationship between torque and to its original container. For further specific shelf life
clamp load is expressed in the following equation: information, contact your local Technical Service Centre.

experimentally.
K Factor:
K factors are obtained on Grade 8, 1/2” steel bolts and Grade
5 nuts by a test procedure which measures torque tension
properties. Lubricant was applied to the bolt threads and both
faces of the washer. See properties chart for the torque
coefficient or K value for the anti-seize compounds. We feel
that this data fairly represents performance to be expected.
However, Loctite makes no warranty of specific performance
on any individual fastener. In critical applications, it is
necessary to determine K values independently.
