Action Can CS-90 Copper Anti-Seize Paste
Action Can CS-90 is a superior-quality copper anti-seize paste engineered to prevent seizing, galling, and corrosion of threaded fasteners even in extreme high-temperature conditions. The exceptionally high copper content combined with professional-grade rust and corrosion inhibitors creates a non-hardening, non-dripping durable film that enables easy assembly and disassembly after extended service intervals in the harshest environments.
Key Features
- Exceptionally High Copper Content — Superior copper concentration provides maximum anti-seize effectiveness and thermal conductivity for extreme emperature protection.
- Extreme Temperature Range — Protects fasteners across -30°Cto +1100°C - unmatched temperature capability from arctic to ultra-high-temperature applications.
- Prevents Seizing and Galling — Reduces friction and prevents metal-to-metal bonding that causes seized fasteners and galling damage to threads and fastener heads.
- Non-Hardening, Non-Dripping — Durable film formulation maintains lubricating properties without hardening or running off, ensuring consistent protection through service life.
- Lead and Silicone-Free — Eliminates toxic lead whilst avoiding silicone contamination that interferes with subsequent coating or welding processes.
Description
Fastener Seizing and Galling in Extreme Conditions
High-temperature environments—exhaust systems, engine compartments, industrial furnaces—cause fastener seizing through oxidation bonding. Galling occurs when soft metals scratch and bond during assembly, permanently deforming threads and making disassembly nearly impossible without destruction. Traditional anti-seize products fail at extreme temperatures; CS-90's formulation addresses this challenge through chemistry engineered for thermal extremes and metal-to-metal protection.
Copper Content and Thermal Conductivity
Copper is the primary active ingredient in anti-seize pastes—its high thermal conductivity allows heat distribution away from friction points, reducing local temperatures at bearing surfaces. CS-90's exceptionally high copper content maximises this thermal advantage, combined with copper's natural anti-seizing and anti-corrosion properties. The superior copper concentration delivers protection exceeding standard formulations.
Thread Lubricating Film for Assembly Ease
Fasteners often seize during assembly—torque application creates friction that heats threads, accelerating oxidation and bonding. CS-90's film reduces friction during assembly, decreasing peak temperatures at thread contact. After assembly, the protective film prevents seizing during subsequent thermal cycling and environmental exposure. This dual benefit—reduced assembly friction plus post-assembly seizure prevention—addresses the complete seizing lifecycle.
Galling Prevention Through Metal-to-Metal Isolation
Galling occurs when soft fastener metal (stainless steel, aluminium) scratches away, exposing fresh material that bonds to the mating surface. CS-90's film provides continuous separation between mating surfaces, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact that causes galling. This separation is particularly valuable for stainless steel and soft-metal fasteners prone to galling under torque.
Extreme-Temperature Stability from Arctic to Furnace Heat
Most anti-seize products fail at temperature extremes—thinning at high temperatures or hardening at low temperatures. CS-90's stability from -30°C to +1100°C is exceptional. Spark plugs in arctic conditions, exhaust manifold bolts at engine temperatures (+600°C+), and industrial furnace connections (+1000°C+) all remain protected. This temperature range is unmatched in commercial anti-seize products.
Corrosion Inhibitor Action in Harsh Environments
Professional-grade inhibitors actively prevent rust and corrosion through chemical protection of bare metal surfaces. In coastal environments, marine applications, and chemical exposure situations, these inhibitors provide secondary corrosion prevention if the primary anti-seize film is temporarily displaced. Water resistance ensures protection persists even with moisture exposure.
Lead and Silicone Elimination for Safety and Compatibility
Traditional anti-seize pastes often contained lead—toxic and prohibited in modern applications. Silicone contamination interferes with subsequent welding, painting, and coating processes. CS-90's formulation eliminates both concerns, providing safe application and full compatibility with downstream processes without additional cleaning steps.

Application Instructions
For Aerosol Application:
- Shake the aerosol can well before use. Mix the copper paste thoroughly to ensure uniform formulation distribution.
- Hold the can as upright as possible. Spray nozzles work optimally in vertical orientation for consistent delivery.
- Apply a thin, even coating to fasteners. Spray from a distance of 10–15 cm, moving slowly over the area to be treated.
- Use 2–3 application pauses over the fastener surface. Avoid excessive application; thin, even coating is optimal.
- Apply to thread surfaces and fastener heads. Ensure coverage of threads, bolt heads, and all surfaces requiring protection.
- Allow solvent to evaporate completely. Let the carrier evaporate, typically 10–15 minutes, before assembly.
- Assemble fasteners normally. Once evaporation is complete, assemble bolts and fasteners following standard procedures.
For Tub/Compound Application:
- Apply by brushing with a clean brush. Use a lint-free brush to apply CS-90 tub directly to fastener threads and surfaces.
- Apply by wiping with a lint-free cloth. For controlled application, wipe CS-90 onto fasteners using a clean, lint-free cloth.
- Apply by dipping fasteners directly into the tub. For small fasteners, dip directly into the compound for complete coverage.
- Work the paste into threads. Ensure thorough coverage of thread surfaces where metal-to-metal contact occurs.
- Allow solvent to evaporate before motion. Let the carrier evaporate completely (typically 10–15 minutes) before assembly or operation.
For Both Application Methods:
- Use appropriate fastener torque during assembly. Apply recommended torque specifications; CS-90 reduces friction slightly, so standard torque achieves proper clamp load.
- Allow curing time for extreme-temperature applications. For spark plugs, exhaust connections, and high-temperature fasteners, allow several hours for the protective film to fully stabilise before exposure to extreme heat.
- Perform assembly at normal temperature. Apply CS-90 and assemble fasteners at ambient temperature; avoid assembly of hot fasteners as this interferes with film formation.
- Clean assembly tools after application. Wipe tools and hands with a clean cloth to remove excess paste; excessive residue attracts dirt.
- Document application for critical fasteners. For critical or safety-related fasteners, record CS-90 application date and fastener location for maintenance tracking.
- Avoid mixing with other anti-seize products. Use CS-90 exclusively; mixing different products can reduce effectiveness.
- Store excess compound properly. Replace tub covers tightly; unused compound remains usable for extended periods with proper storage.

FAQs
What's the extreme temperature range limit of CS-90, and how does it perform at the +1100°C upper limit?
CS-90 protects fasteners up to +1100°C—an exceptional upper limit. At this extreme temperature, the copper paste maintains its protective film, preventing seizing and oxidation bonding. Performance is optimal from -30°C to +800°C; beyond +800°C, extreme heat dominates, but the protective action continues. Spark plugs, exhaust manifold bolts, and furnace connections all remain protected across the full temperature range.
Can CS-90 be mixed or used alongside other anti-seize products, or should it be used exclusively?
Use CS-90 exclusively—avoid mixing with other anti-seize products. Different formulations may interact unpredictably, reducing effectiveness. If switching from another product, clean fasteners thoroughly with a solvent cleaner to remove residual paste before applying CS-90. Mixing compromises the professional-grade inhibitor action and copper content synergy.
Will CS-90 reduce the torque specification for fasteners, or should I use standard torque values?
CS-90 reduces friction slightly, which can slightly reduce the torque required to achieve a target clamp load. However, professional guidance is to use manufacturer-specified torque values. The friction reduction is relatively small; using standard specifications produces slight over-clamp in most cases, which is safer than under-clamping. For critical applications where precise clamp load is essential, consult fastener specifications or engineering guidance.
Is CS-90 safe to use on fasteners for food, medical, or pharmaceutical equipment, or does it contain prohibited substances?
CS-90 is lead-free and silicone-free, eliminating the primary toxic or contaminating components. However, for food, medical, or pharmaceutical equipment, verify CS-90's suitability for your specific application. Regulatory requirements vary by industry—some industries require specific anti-seize formulations or specifically prohibit certain products. Consult application-specific regulations or equipment manufacturers before use in these sensitive applications.
