Complete Castrol coverage across the castrol optimol assembly pastes family.
White-coloured anti-seize paste for general thread anti-seize service. Working temperature -40 to +250°C. Visually neutral (no metal-particle staining of part surfaces). For threaded fasteners exposed to moisture, corrosion + moderate temperature. Standard plant maintenance store paste.
Metal-particle anti-seize paste for high-temperature service — continuous to 1,100°C. Aluminium + nickel + copper metallic-particle blend. For exhaust-system threads, furnace-component threads, kiln-component bolted assemblies. Where temperature exceeds Paste TA's 250°C limit.
Copper-loaded anti-seize paste for stainless-steel thread protection. Prevents galvanic-corrosion seizure between stainless threads + dissimilar-metal mating. For stainless-bolted assemblies in process-plant + food-plant + pharma-plant service. Working temperature -40 to +1,000°C.
Specialty paste for bearing-assembly applications + low-temperature service (operating to -50°C). For aerospace-bearing assembly, cold-climate equipment service. Lower viscosity than Paste TA — easier application on small bearings.
Castrol's specialty pastes for specific applications — running-in pastes, electrical-contact pastes, food-grade NSF H1 paste alternatives (see Optileb range). Cross-reference your specific application with our technical team for the appropriate Optimol grade.

Common questions from maintenance + procurement buyers sourcing Castrol Optimol Assembly Pastes through Vasundhara Specialities.
Optimol Paste TA (white anti-seize) for general thread protection up to 250°C continuous service — covers most plant-maintenance bolted-assembly applications. Optimol Paste MP3 (metal-particle) for high-temperature service above 250°C — exhaust components, furnace assemblies, kiln-component threads. Above 250°C, Paste TA's organic carrier breaks down — only metal-particle Paste MP3 retains thread protection. Default to Paste TA; specify MP3 only when sustained temperature exceeds 250°C.
Stainless-steel threads have a unique failure mode: galling — the threads cold-weld to each other under tightening load, causing seizure that destroys both the bolt and the receiving thread. Copper-loaded paste creates a metallic-film layer between the threads that prevents direct stainless-on-stainless contact, eliminating the galling mechanism. Standard white anti-seize Paste TA does not prevent stainless galling reliably — copper-particle loading is necessary for stainless-thread protection.
Optimol paste application typically protects threads through 5-10 years of service in normal-temperature environments, or 1-3 years in heavy-corrosion + cycling-temperature service. Re-application is required only at planned-maintenance disassembly cycles. Re-application is critical — if a previously-pasted thread is disassembled and re-assembled without fresh paste application, the protection degrades dramatically.
Optimol Copper Paste has limited compatibility with aluminium threads — copper-particle loading can cause galvanic corrosion of aluminium under wet conditions. For aluminium thread protection, Optimol Paste TA white anti-seize is the recommended choice — non-metallic-particle solids (PTFE, MoS₂) provide thread protection without aluminium-galvanic concern. For aluminium threads in dry-only service, Optimol Copper Paste may be acceptable; for any wet service, use Paste TA.
Standard Optimol paste pack sizes: 100g cartridge (single-bolt or small-quantity application), 500g pail (single-tradesman or small-team plant maintenance), 1kg pail (medium-volume plant maintenance), 25kg drum (high-volume industrial assembly + OEM-build service). Cartridge format is compatible with standard grease-gun applicator. For specific pack-format availability across the Optimol range, our team confirms stock at enquiry.
Standard Optimol pastes (TA, MP3, Copper, WX) are NOT NSF H1 food-grade certified — they are general industrial pastes. For food-plant + pharma-plant thread-anti-seize applications requiring NSF H1 compliance, refer to Castrol Optileb food-grade range — see our Optileb page for the NSF H1 paste alternatives. For non-food-contact applications in food/pharma plants, standard Optimol pastes are acceptable + cost-economic.
Yes — anti-seize paste application reduces friction at the thread + under-head bearing surfaces, which means a given target-torque produces higher actual bolt-tension than dry-thread torque. Most fastener-engineering specifications publish dry-thread torque values + lubricated-thread torque values separately — when applying Optimol paste, use the lubricated-thread torque value (typically 60-80% of the dry-thread torque). Critical for high-tension bolted-joint integrity. Cross-reference your specific bolted-joint engineering specification.
