LIQUI MOLY LM 48 Installation Paste

LIQUI MOLY LM 48 Installation Paste - High-Pressure Anti-Seize for Metal Parts

Ensure smooth installation and protection for metal components with LIQUI MOLY LM 48. This high-pressure paste prevents seizing, wear, and corrosion, even under extreme loads. Ideal for splined shafts, bearings, and press-fit assemblies.

LIQUI MOLY LM 48 Installation Paste is a specialized, high-performance lubricant designed for the demanding task of assembling and protecting metal components. This dark, graphite-based paste is formulated to withstand extremely high pressures and temperatures, making it a crucial tool for preventing friction, wear, and seizing. It contains a high concentration of solid lubricants, including graphite and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), which create a durable, anti-friction film between mating surfaces. This film ensures that components can be installed smoothly without galling or damage and can be easily disassembled later, even after prolonged exposure to heavy loads or corrosive environments. The paste is free of metallic soaps and heavy metals, making it safe for a wide range of applications. Its excellent adhesion properties mean it stays in place, providing long-lasting lubrication and protection. Whether you're working on automotive, industrial, or marine machinery, LIQUI MOLY LM 48 is the professional's choice for ensuring reliable, long-term performance of press-fit joints, splined shafts, bearings, and other critical metal-to-metal connections.

Best Uses

1. Press-fit assemblies: Facilitates the installation of bearings, bushings, and sleeves into housings without damaging the components.
2. Splined shafts: Ensures smooth engagement and disengagement of splined connections in transmissions and drive shafts.
3. Cylinder head bolts and exhaust manifold bolts: Prevents seizing due to high temperatures, making future disassembly easier.
4. Threaded connections: Protects against galling and corrosion on bolts, nuts, and studs, especially in high-stress applications.
5. General industrial assembly: Ideal for lubricating and protecting pins, bolts, and other metal parts during assembly in manufacturing and maintenance.

 Key Features

1. High-Pressure Resistance: Withstands extreme pressures and heavy loads without being squeezed out, providing reliable lubrication where it's needed most.
2. Excellent Anti-Corrosion Properties: Forms a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, even in humid or harsh environmental conditions.
3. Wide Temperature Range: Maintains its effectiveness across a broad temperature spectrum, making it suitable for both high-heat and cold applications.
4. Contains Solid Lubricants: The graphite and MoS2 content creates a durable, low-friction film that actively reduces wear and prevents galling.
5. Easy Application: The paste consistency allows for a clean and precise application on mating surfaces, ensuring complete coverage.

 Key Benefits

1. Prevents Seizing and Galling: The anti-friction film ensures that metal components can be installed and disassembled smoothly, preventing damage and saving time.
2. Extends Component Lifespan: Reduces wear on critical parts like bearings and splines, leading to increased durability and reduced maintenance costs.
3. Facilitates Future Disassembly: Even after years of service under high loads, the protected parts can be taken apart without excessive force, simplifying repairs.
4. Enhances Assembly Efficiency: The paste reduces the force required for press-fitting and assembly, streamlining the installation process.
5. Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of metal parts in automotive, industrial, marine, and construction machinery, making it a go-to solution for professionals.
