Zinc Dust Uses
Lubrication
Zinc dust-based anti-seize thread compound prevents seizing of threaded or unthreaded aluminium and aluminium alloys during the time of assembly, disassembly, and reassembly. This zinc-dust-based anti-seize thread compound also provides metal surface protection.
Zinc dust-based anti-seize compounds are used in a variety of industries. In the aerospace or aviation industry, it is used as a lubricant and anti-seize compound for aircraft engines and accessory components to prevent seizing during maintenance and repair operations. In the marine industry, it helps protect metal parts from rusting, and it also helps marine engines and mechanical parts prevent seizing due to saltwater exposure. In the automotive industry, it is employed as a lubricant for high-temperature applications such as exhaust system components, heat exchangers, and turbochargers. In the mining industry, it is employed as a lubricant and anti-seize compound for mining tools, such as drilling tools and conveyor systems. In the oil and gas industry, it is employed in drilling and manufacturing operations for high-temperature applications and to prevent seizing downhole parts.
In Defense Military
In the defense military, it is employed as a lubricant and anti-seize compound for weapon systems, such as artillery and firearms, to prevent seizing and corrosion during maintenance and storage. It is employed as a lubricant and anti-seize compound for high-temperature applications in military vehicles, such as engines, transmissions, and exhaust systems. It is employed as a lubricant and anti-seize compound for electronic parts, such as switches and connectors, to prevent seizing and enhance performance in harsh environments.
Anti-Seize Compounds
Zinc dust-based anti-seize compounds have a wide variety of applications such as prevention of seizing and corrosion of threaded fasteners and metal components; lubricating moving parts; reducing friction; protects metal surfaces from corrosion; the life of parts increases and the need for frequent maintenance decreases; easier disassembly and the risk of damage to threaded fasteners and other components minimized; provides excellent protection against saltwater corrosion; offers good resistance to water washout and high humidity environments; enhances performance and reliability of equipment in harsh environments and gives resistance to high temperatures and high pressures making it suitable for use in high-performance military equipment
