Never-Seez NSB-4 Regular Grade Anti-Seize Compound
Never-Seez NSB-4 Regular Grade Anti-Seize is a copper-and-graphite-based compound formulated to protect metal parts against rust, corrosion, and seizure in high-heat, high-pressure environments. Engineered by Bostik, NSB-4 reduces wear, prevents carbon fusion, and enables faster disassembly—even after prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Reliable protection in temperatures ranging from -297°F to 1800°F (-183°C to 982°C).
Key Benefits of Never-Seez NSB-4
-
Extends component life: Keeps parts working longer with less wear, directly reducing parts replacement costs
-
Simplifies disassembly: Enables faster teardown even after exposure to high temperatures or harsh conditions
-
Prevents carbon fusion: Stops fasteners and fittings from bonding permanently under heat and pressure
-
Broad chemical resistance: Resists alkaline solutions, most chemical and acid vapors, road salt, steam, salt water, and iodized water
-
Protects hard metals: Prevents galling on steel-to-stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, and other hard metal interfaces
