Why Does SILCA Make Anti-Seize for Cyclists?

SILCA Anti-Seize is a nickel-based assembly paste formulated specifically for the reactive metals found on high-end bikes: titanium, aluminum, magnesium, carbon, and stainless steel, plus any combination of them. Wherever two dissimilar metals meet at a threaded or press-fit interface, galvanic corrosion can set in and lock parts together over time. A thin layer of anti-seize at assembly stops that, so a titanium bolt, a bottom bracket, or a press-fit interface comes apart cleanly years later instead of seizing in place.

Engineered to aerospace standards, it holds up to salt, moisture, and galvanic corrosion far better than lithium grease, and stays stable in service up to 1426°C (2,600°F). It is copper-free, lead-free, and contains no PTFE or PFAS. A little goes a long way: apply a thin film to clean threads or contact surfaces, torque to the manufacturer spec, and the interface stays serviceable for the life of the component. Supplied in a 12cc syringe applicator for clean, precise dosing. For any cyclist wrenching on a quality build, this is the paste that prevents the expensive mistakes.

FAQ

Can I use this on carbon parts?

Yes. Silca makes this paste for reactive metals including carbon, and it is designed for the dissimilar metal interfaces common on carbon builds. Note: a carbon seat post in a frame is a friction situation, so a dedicated carbon assembly paste (friction compound) is the right tool there. Anti-seize is for threaded and press-fit metal interfaces.

Do I need to re-torque after applying anti-seize?

Anti-seize reduces thread friction, which changes the clamping force at a given torque value. Always follow the manufacturer torque spec with the paste applied.

Is it safe on titanium bolts?

Yes. Titanium is especially prone to galling under thread contact, and anti-seize at assembly is standard practice for titanium fasteners.

How much SILCA Anti-Seize should I use on titanium bolts?

A thin film of SILCA Anti-Seize on the threads is all you need for titanium bolts, just enough to coat them so the metal still shows through rather than a thick layer. If paste squeezes out as you tighten, that is the sign you used too much, so wipe the excess and use less next time. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended torque spec for your fastener.

Best For

Home mechanics and shops assembling titanium hardware, threaded bottom brackets, press-fit interfaces, or any dissimilar metal contact point that needs to stay serviceable long-term.
