Kopr Kote Lube is a type of anti-seize lubricant typically characterized by its high content of copper or copper-based compounds. The lubricant is engineered to protect metal surfaces from damage due to high temperatures, moisture, and extreme pressure conditions. It is formulated with a blend of fine copper particles and other additives that help the lubricant adhere to surfaces and form a protective barrier.
- Design:The paste is thick enough to remain in place once applied but is designed to be spread evenly over the target area. Kopr Kote Lube comes in easy-to-apply containers, typically in the form of tubes, cans, or pails, making it accessible for manual application..
- Applications:
- Construction and Heavy Equipment:Applied to parts of construction equipment, such as bolts, nuts, and pins, where heavy loads and high pressure can cause seizing or wear. It helps prevent parts from becoming stuck or corroded due to exposure to moisture, dust, and high friction.Common in earth-moving equipment, cranes, and hydraulic systems that operate under high pressures and extreme conditions.
- Mining and Oil & Gas:Used for maintaining drill bits, drill rods, and other mining equipment that are exposed to high pressures and temperatures.Applied to flanges, threaded joints, and connections in oil rigs, pipelines, and machinery to prevent seizing and corrosion.
- Industrial Manufacturing:Common in manufacturing plants for use on machine tools, presses, conveyor systems, and other equipment where friction can cause wear and failure.Kopr Kote Lube is used to prevent damage to parts and reduce maintenance time.
- Railroad:Kopr Kote Lube is applied to railroad track components such as bolts and flanges, where high levels of friction and temperature can lead to wear and rust.
- Marine:Used in marine applications for propeller shafts, flanges, and threaded connections to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation in saltwater environments.
- Electrical:Sometimes used for protecting electrical connections, preventing oxidation and ensuring smooth electrical conductivity in high-stress environments.
- Aerospace:In the aerospace industry, Kopr Kote Lube is applied to parts like fasteners, seals, and engine components to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and stress during operation.
- Materials:The primary ingredient in Kopr Kote Lube is fine copper powder, which contributes to its unique properties, including high heat tolerance and excellent anti-seize performance. Copper powder also helps to reduce friction and wear between metal surfaces. The lubricant is formulated with a blend of mineral oils or synthetic oils that provide the desired viscosity and help keep the copper powder in suspension, ensuring smooth application. Thickeners like barium complex soap or lithium soap are added to provide the paste consistency. These thickeners help the product adhere to metal parts and prevent it from dripping or running off during application. Additional anti-corrosion agents, extreme pressure additives, and anti-wear agents are incorporated into the formulation to improve the performance of the lubricant under harsh conditions.
- Configurations: 1, 2 and 5 gallons
