Technical Is Lubriplate and Anti-Seize the same thing?

I've always put a dab of anti-seize on many things. However, I've seen several references to Lubriplate and Vern Tardel mentions it in his book, too.

 

No.

 

Lubriplate is actually a brand name. (So is Hysol, btw) They make all kinds of products. Usually, people mean the moly (molybdenum) stuff. I think.

 

Lubriplate 105 is what most refer to as just Lubriplate. It's a white grease. Nothing like never seize. They also make other products.

 

I use anti-seize on fastners when It’s possible I need them remove them Even with nyloc nuts. (Bonneville can be cruel) Anti-seize is always on SS fasteners. I also use it on surfaces like disc brake hats and drums to flanges.
Lubriplate goes on rubbing surfaces like brake shoes on backing plates, door stars and jams, window mechanism, hinges, etc...

 

No...Lubriplate is a white grease that we used to use for main bearing and crankshaft pre-lube and also on drum brake backing plates.

Lubriplate is meant for assembling moving parts. Anti-seize for non-moving parts.

 

Not true. It still took a wrench to remove the nut down to past the nylon in the nut. Every nut on my LSR vehicles had a nylon locker same with dirt track there was also anti-seize on everything on the salt. Nothing ever vibrated loose since 1975.

 

Isn't it just great when two guys have completely different points of view, and one calls a lier..!
What a joke.

"Anti-Seize" (or an off brand never-seize) is meant to help two pieces of metal...NOT...seize..!
Especially when using stainless steel nuts and threaded fasteners, or around parts that run hot, exhaust fasteners, etc.
It works well to help keep the aluminum threads in cylinder heads, various fasteners AND spark plugs.

Lubriplate is a white grease with various soaps in it to help make it a lubricant. Some use it as an engine assembly lube, though I never would..! It has its place, but NOT to be used in place of a quality Anti-Seize compound.

Kinda similar to Astro Glide and Ora Gel

 

There is a high temp never seize too, it is also food grade. No aluminum or copper grit. I have used lots of it in food plants.

 

No offense take here. With the experience I've had using them together, the securing was never in question and the ability to remove the fastener in adverse conditions was what I stated. Under normal circumstances I would not use them together and would have used a lock washer or other type. We have so much knowledge on this site from real practical experience that doesn't make sense but works.

 

Ny-locks are only meant to be used once, thrown away when removed.

 

I used to mix lubriplate and napa engine honey into a big cup, stir and mix well and assembly my engines with it. Done every engine that way. Learned it from an old mechanic.

Think of anti seize as a anti rust for threads. We assembly every front end part with it.

 

I use anti-seize on any fastener under the car, no exceptions

 

Small stainless screws with Ny-locks can be a bitch as in chassis aluminum work, they can gall and will not come off without destroying the nut or screw. I can see using anti sieze on those. Lippy

 

In the rust belt where I watch over a piece of dirt , I never attach one piece of hardware without applying anti seize . I worked on stuff buried for 30 years, after you cut the hot wax coating off it , if it was assembled with anti seize it would come apart just as it went together . A 6 oz can lasts me 35 years , if it gets thick and dry , just add a couple drops of oil and stir up the mix and your good for years again .

 

In the good old days, antiseize was composed with lead; that stuff seems to end up everywhere!

 

I've taken a seized engine apart with the oil pump pickup tube plugged with Lubriplate white grease. Oil just didn't break it down. I have a feeling someone went a little overboard with the Lubriplate

 

We used Lubriplate on our M-1s', and M-14s' bolt action back in the 60s'.

 

They make Anti-Seize in Aluminum Complex, Copper Complex, Nickel Complex, Moly Complex, Aluminum-Copper Hybrid, Food Grade Complex, and Food Grade with PTFE.
So research what your needs are.

 

Ugggghhh, no. Not a great idea.

 

This is why you shouldn't use it for bearings. That is one old practice that needs to die.

 

Lubriplate also makes oil I worked in a factory and it was my job to change the compressor oil and that was all they would use.by the way I worked for them from 1965 till 1968

I still use surplus little yellow jars of lubriplate to lubricate my m-1s and my m14.

 

I use anti-seize on a lot of things. Probably things most of you would cringe at; some gasket surfaces, king pins, about any nut/bolt that I'll be the next guy removing it.

I kept seeing references to Lubriplate and specifically Vern Tardel suggests it throughout many of his books. So, I was just trying to figure out what exactly it is. Now that there are multiple kinds, I'm even more confused haha!
