Description
ParkTool ASC-1 Anti-Seize Compound
ParkTool ASC-1 Anti-Seize Compound helps reduce friction in threaded and press-fit bicycle parts. As a result, it makes assembly easier and later disassembly smoother. It also protects parts from corrosion, rust, galling, and seizure. Therefore, it helps keep key contact points serviceable for longer.
Where to Use It
Use ASC-1 on bottom bracket threads, pedal threads, pressed headset cups, seat posts, quill stems, and other metal-on-metal contact points. In addition, it works well on parts that may need removal during future service. For example, it helps prevent threads from binding or sticking over time. Consequently, maintenance becomes faster and cleaner.
ASC-1 Material Compatibility
ParkTool ASC-1 suits steel, aluminium, and titanium components. Therefore, it works across road, gravel, mountain, and city bikes. It also performs well in wet, salty, and high-wear environments. In short, mechanics and riders can rely on it for demanding conditions.
Anti-Seize Compound Size and Handling
The product comes in a 113 g, or 4 oz, tube. This gives you a practical amount for repeated workshop use. However, you should wipe away any excess right away. Also, test it first on an inconspicuous area, since it can stain some painted surfaces and fabrics. Used correctly, ASC-1 supports easier assembly, simpler servicing, and longer component life.
