I have a question regarding the use of anti-occlusal agents
Thread Content
During the bolt installation at the site, Loctite N7000 anti-seize agent is applied as usual. During the bolt heating and stretching process, it was observed that at around 200°C of heating, the anti-seize agent began to flow. Shouldn’t the operating temperature of N7000 reach 1000°C so that it doesn’t decompose or flow? Does anyone know the reason, or is this phenomenon normal? Also, may I ask about the usage conditions and precautions related to anti-occlusal agents?
I haven’t used it at 200 degrees, but I think your issue is related to the bolts stretching and deforming the anti-seize agent, which gets forced out rather than liquefying.
Why heat and stretch? Most likely, the anti-cavitation agent is being extruded rather than flowing liquidly. It hasn’t been used in high-temperature conditions, though.
