LPS 03908 Nickel Anti-Seize, MIL-PRF-907E
LPS
Description
LPS 03908 Nickel Anti-Seize is a high-temperature anti-seize lubricant designed for hostile environments and extreme operating temperatures. This silver-colored, non-melting paste helps prevent seizure, galling, rust and corrosion while protecting threaded connections and other metal components through temperatures ranging from -65°F to 2600°F (-54°C to 1427°C).
LPS 03908 meets MIL-PRF-907E and is formulated without lead, copper, graphite, chlorides, phosphorus, silicone or halogens. Its high-temperature performance makes it suitable for applications involving stainless steel, turbines, furnaces, heat exchangers, manifolds, studs, fasteners and other components exposed to severe heat or hostile environments.

Applications
LPS 03908 Nickel Anti-Seize is designed for threaded connections and metal components exposed to high temperatures, severe environments and difficult service conditions.
- Bushings
- Chains
- Engines
- Flanges
- Furnaces
- Heat exchangers
- Manifolds
- Nuts and bolts
- Screws
- Studs
- Turbines
- Valve stems
LPS 03908 is particularly useful where a nickel-based anti-seize is preferred over copper- or graphite-based products. The manufacturer specifically identifies it for use on stainless steel at temperatures above 550°F (288°C).
