MOLYKOTE® CU-7439 Plus

270

Copper-based anti-seize paste formulated for extreme-temperature threaded connections and fasteners exposed to temperatures up to 650°C, preventing galling, corrosion, and seizure in exhaust systems and heavy-duty industrial equipment.

Product Overview

MOLYKOTE® CU-7439 Plus Paste is a high-performance mineral oil-based anti-seize compound formulated with copper powder solid lubricants and advanced corrosion inhibitors for extreme-temperature fastener applications. This NLGI Grade 0-1 paste provides exceptional protection against thread galling, seizure, and corrosion on threaded connections repeatedly exposed to thermal cycling between -30°C and 650°C (-22°F to 1202°F). The distinctive copper color enables easy visual identification during assembly operations and quality control inspections, ensuring proper application on critical high-temperature fasteners.

Engineered specifically for automotive exhaust systems, turbocharger installations, industrial furnace components, and heavy equipment subjected to extreme heat and corrosive environments, MOLYKOTE® CU-7439 Plus prevents the catastrophic thread seizure that leads to broken studs, stripped threads, and costly component replacement during disassembly. The paste’s superior adhesion characteristics resist washout from steam, hot water, and pressure washing, maintaining lubrication integrity in marine, agricultural, and industrial applications where moisture and thermal stress combine to accelerate fastener corrosion. The formulation ensures easy bolt removal even after extended exposure to high temperatures and corrosive conditions, reducing maintenance downtime and eliminating the need for destructive extraction methods.

Applications

Automotive exhaust manifold bolts and studs
Turbocharger mounting hardware and V-band clamps
Exhaust system flange connections and gasket bolts
Disc brake caliper mounting hardware
Drum brake cam shafts and adjuster mechanisms
Industrial furnace and kiln door fasteners
Refinery and petrochemical flange connections
Steel mill equipment threaded assemblies
Glass manufacturing furnace components
Agricultural equipment exhaust systems
Marine engine exhaust manifold studs
Heavy truck brake system hardware

Features & Benefits

Extreme Temperature Capability

Maintains anti-seize protection up to 650°C without oxidation, evaporation, or loss of lubrication effectiveness, ensuring fastener removal capability even after prolonged exposure to exhaust gas temperatures, industrial furnace heat, and thermal cycling conditions.

Thread Galling Prevention

Copper powder solid lubricants provide sacrificial wear surface that prevents metal-to-metal adhesion and galling in stainless steel, carbon steel, and dissimilar metal threaded connections under high clamping loads and thermal stress.

Superior Corrosion Protection

Advanced corrosion inhibitor package protects threaded fasteners from oxidation, moisture intrusion, and chemical attack in harsh environments including road salt exposure, marine conditions, and industrial chemical processing facilities.

Excellent Adhesion and Washout Resistance

Mineral oil carrier system with enhanced adhesion properties resists displacement by steam, hot water spray, pressure washing, and vibration, maintaining protective coating integrity throughout the fastener service life.

Easy Disassembly After Extended Service

Enables bolt and stud removal without heat, penetrating oil, or destructive extraction methods even after years of thermal cycling and corrosive exposure, reducing maintenance time and preventing component damage during service operations.

Enhanced Torque Accuracy

Consistent coefficient of friction enables accurate torque-to-clamp load conversion during assembly, preventing under-torquing that causes joint loosening or over-torquing that causes thread stripping or fastener breakage.

Problems Solved

Seized Exhaust Manifold Bolts and Broken Studs

Eliminates the thread corrosion and galling that causes exhaust manifold studs to break during removal, preventing the costly cylinder head drilling, stud extraction, and thread repair operations that result from seized fasteners in turbocharged engines and diesel exhaust systems.

Turbocharger Installation and Service Difficulties

Ensures reliable removal of turbo mounting studs, V-band clamp fasteners, and exhaust adapter bolts exposed to extreme heat and thermal cycling, eliminating the broken hardware and damaged flanges caused by seized connections during turbocharger replacement or wastegate servicing.

Stainless Steel Thread Galling

Prevents the cold welding and surface tearing that occurs when stainless steel fasteners are tightened into stainless steel tapped holes without lubrication, eliminating the stripped threads and seized bolts common in food processing equipment, marine applications, and corrosion-resistant assemblies.

Industrial Maintenance Downtime from Frozen Fasteners

Reduces unplanned equipment downtime and maintenance costs by ensuring rapid disassembly of furnace doors, kiln components, and process equipment connections that would otherwise require torch cutting, hydraulic splitters, or complete component replacement due to corrosion-induced seizure.
