Rapidstick™ 8232 Retaining Compound

Rapidstick™ 8232 Retaining Compound is a highly lubricating medium strength compound formulated to facilitate the assembly and removal of cylindrical fitting parts with heavy press/interference fits, or highly torqued threaded assemblies. It eliminates corrosion and prevents galling and pick-up during disassembly while increasing dismounting forces.

8232 displays excellent performance for retaining, sealing, and thread locking and can be used in high temperature environments and where bond gaps may approach 0.9mm.
