Armite graphite-based petrolatum anti-seize compound is manufactured to conform to SAE-AMS-2518 (formerly MIL-T-5544C). It prevents seizing during assembly and disassembly of aircraft engine spark plugs and threaded fasteners and fittings. It is water resistant and lead free, lowers friction and wrench torque, and permits re-use of fittings.
Applications
- Joints, slides, valve stems, fasteners, frame bolts, flange faces, spark plugs
- Safe in contact with austenitic corrosion-resistant steels, titanium, nickel and cobalt alloys
Typical Properties
- NLGI grade approx. 2–4; colour dark grey; penetration at 25 °C 170–260
- Melting point 130 °F; specific gravity 1.25; additive graphite
- Flash point 249 °C (480 °F); auto-ignition point >260 °C (500 °F)
- NSN 8030-00-044-5034
Important Notes
- Graphite may promote corrosion of aluminium, magnesium, ferrous, zinc and cadmium alloys or plated coatings; do not use with these metals
- Electrically conductive: apply a light coat to the lower spark plug threads only, keeping it away from terminals and electrodes
- Do not use in oxygen systems
