Varybond Regular Grade
®
is a paste based on
graphite, copper and aluminium powders to avoid
seizing in mechanisms and threaded connections
under vibrations, high pressure, high temperature
and aggressive environment. The solid
components included in the Varybond Regular
Grade
®
prevent the metal-metal contact and
protect against the fretting, providing an easy
dismantling. Varybond Regular Grade
®
fills the
superficial cavities and irregularities, performing
a sealing effect and preventing the entrance of
contaminant fluid and gas.
Application
ApplicationApplication
Application
Varybond Regular Grade
®
is applied: in threaded
connections, particularly when they are submitted
under high pressure and high temperature, in smooth
and grooved surface, studs, bolts, pins, seals even in
corrosive environment, electric line switch breakers
(due to its good electrical conductivity),
Typical examples are the following: Threaded
connections in drilling rods for crude, mining, public
works, quarries turbines, generators and engines.
Boilers, blowers, furnaces and accessories gas flow or
continuous electrode nozzle heads valves and fittings
in chemical, automotive industries threaded
connections for exhaust and collector pipes, cams,
joints and brakes.
