Bill;

I am aware of the many variations of Anti-Seize compounds, specialized for particular jobs, and after careful consideration, recommend the graphite filled type for the tapered axle joint...I don't need nuclear or food grade for instance...but I do recognize some special requirements!

My justification of the graphite filled type is twofold...for any medium to be effective come removal time, it must have a particulate component (any non-particulate filled could not be presumed to remain in place to contribute come removal time!), and the stratified nature of the graphite particulate molecule being able to shear while under compression forces...it seems to me that this is the precise mode necessary come removal time, when the astronomical compression forces of the tapered joint must still be overcome by the Puller...anyway, that, and the track-record that it was served me well for a loooong time and in many applications, is my explanation and justification...

Thanks also for the kind words to my tech Article
