Copper grease (No, not tea money)

[ratcatcher]

Can anyone on the forum help with a Thai supplier of this?

Is Carlube available here. Any help, much appreciated.

There is this topic ... http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/429035-copper-grease/ I would have thought that any decent garage would use something like that ... you could try asking ... maybe there is an acceptable alternative over here. Transam might know, try asking him

Both Permatex and Loctite make it in small tubes so it is here somewhere. You'll need to try an auto parts store. Take a picture with you! I have some Carlube but it came from UK.

Thanks for the reply, but I need the grease for axle shafts on a small tractor, they have previously been seized to the wheel rims. Apparently copper grease prevents this.

This seems one of the popular brands in Thailand, "TOTAL SPECIS CU".

Found on misc Thai websites.

Not cheap, 1 kg for about 1800 Baht.

Print out the stuff and ask around.

Even though it is for a tractor one small tube will do a number of wheels. If you don't think one tube is enough buy two or three. They will have whichever netts the most money so may only have 1800 baht tubs anyway.

Same thing happens on my trucks. The cast rear brake drums corrode and expand into the wheel rim. If that is what happens to yours, a little touch with a dremel will open up the hole in the wheel rims.

I tried looking for this in Udon a few years ago with no luck.

In the marine industry we tend to use high temperature ant sieze grease with under the brand Copaslip. I have not seen it in Thailand but there are lots on ebay!
