LIQUI MOLY Ceramic Paste – 200mL Can with Brush | Assembly Lubricant

Protect threaded fasteners, brake components, and assembly surfaces from seizing, corrosion, and high-temperature degradation with LIQUI MOLY Ceramic Paste. A premium ceramic-based assembly lubricant trusted by professional mechanics and performance enthusiasts worldwide, LIQUI MOLY Ceramic Paste provides exceptional lubrication and anti-seize protection across an extreme temperature range — from deep cold to sustained high heat. The 200mL can with integrated brush applicator makes precise, mess-free application straightforward for brake caliper slides, wheel bolts, exhaust fasteners, suspension components, and any assembly application where metal-to-metal contact and heat are a concern.

Key Features:

• Ceramic-based formula — ceramic particles provide lubrication and anti-seize protection that outperforms conventional copper-based pastes in high-temperature applications
• Extreme temperature resistance — effective across a wide temperature range for brake, exhaust, and engine assembly applications
• 200mL can with brush applicator — integrated brush for precise, controlled application without mess
• Anti-seize protection — prevents threaded fasteners and mating surfaces from seizing due to corrosion, heat, and galvanic action
• Brake compatible — safe for use on brake caliper slide pins, caliper brackets, and backing plate contact points
• LIQUI MOLY quality — German-engineered lubricant from one of the most trusted names in automotive chemistry
• Copper-free formula — suitable for use in applications where copper-based pastes are not recommended

Performance Benefits:

• Prevents Seized Fasteners: Ceramic paste applied to wheel bolts, exhaust studs, and suspension fasteners prevents the corrosion and galvanic seizing that makes removal difficult or impossible — saving time and preventing damaged hardware on future service
• Brake System Protection: Applied to caliper slide pins and bracket contact points, ceramic paste ensures smooth caliper operation, prevents slide pin seizing, and eliminates the uneven pad wear caused by sticking calipers
• High-Temperature Stability: Ceramic-based formula maintains its lubricating and protective properties at the elevated temperatures generated by brakes, exhaust systems, and engine components — where conventional greases would burn off or break down
• Corrosion Prevention: Creates a protective barrier between mating metal surfaces that resists moisture, road salt, and atmospheric corrosion — particularly important for wheel fasteners and exhaust hardware in Canadian and northern climates
• Copper-Free Safety: Unlike copper-based anti-seize compounds, LIQUI MOLY Ceramic Paste is safe for use in applications where copper contamination is a concern — including oxygen sensor threads and catalytic converter hardware

Specifications:

• Brand: LIQUI MOLY
• Part Number: 20242
• Type: Ceramic paste (assembly lubricant / anti-seize)
• Volume: 200mL
• Container: Can with integrated brush applicator
• Base: Ceramic (copper-free)
• Origin: Germany

Applications:

• Brake system: Caliper slide pins, caliper bracket contact points, backing plate pad contact areas, caliper bolt threads
• Wheel fasteners: Wheel bolt and lug nut threads and seating surfaces (thin application only — do not over-apply)
• Exhaust system: Exhaust stud threads, flange bolts, oxygen sensor threads, heat shield fasteners
• Suspension: Ball joint threads, control arm bolt threads, subframe fasteners
• Engine assembly: Spark plug threads, head bolt threads (verify compatibility with your specific application)
• General assembly: Any metal-to-metal contact surface subject to heat, corrosion, or seizing

What’s Included:

• LIQUI MOLY Ceramic Paste – 200mL can (20242)
• Integrated brush applicator

Usage Notes:

• Apply a thin, even layer to the contact surface — more is not better; excess paste can contaminate brake friction surfaces
• ⚠️ Keep away from brake rotors, brake pads, and friction surfaces — contamination will significantly reduce braking performance
• For wheel bolt applications, apply a thin layer to the bolt threads and seating surface only — do not apply to the hub face or rotor hat
• For caliper slide pins, clean the pin and bore thoroughly before applying a thin coat of ceramic paste
• Store in a cool, dry location with the lid tightly sealed to prevent drying

Why Ceramic vs. Copper Paste?

Traditional anti-seize compounds use copper particles as the primary lubricating agent. Copper paste is effective but has limitations — it can cause galvanic corrosion when used between dissimilar metals, it’s not suitable for oxygen sensor threads or catalytic converter hardware where copper contamination can affect sensor readings, and it can be messy to apply. LIQUI MOLY’s ceramic paste uses ceramic particles instead of copper, providing equivalent or superior anti-seize and lubrication performance without these limitations. The ceramic formula is also more thermally stable, maintaining its properties at higher temperatures than copper-based compounds — making it the preferred choice for brake, exhaust, and high-temperature engine assembly applications.

Why LIQUI MOLY?

LIQUI MOLY is a German automotive lubricant and chemical manufacturer with over 60 years of engineering expertise. Their product lineup — engine oils, additives, greases, and specialty chemicals — is trusted by professional mechanics, racing teams, and enthusiasts worldwide. LIQUI MOLY’s ceramic paste is one of their most versatile workshop products, used by professional technicians for brake service, exhaust work, and general assembly across all vehicle types.

Perfect For:

• Brake service — caliper slide pin lubrication, bracket contact point treatment, and caliper bolt threads
• Wheel installation — wheel bolt thread and seating surface protection against seizing and corrosion
• Exhaust work — stud threads, flange bolts, and oxygen sensor threads
• Suspension service — fastener thread protection on control arms, subframes, and ball joints
• Engine assembly — spark plug threads and head bolt applications (verify compatibility)
• Any workshop or garage that performs regular brake, suspension, or exhaust service

Pro Tip: Apply ceramic paste to wheel bolts every time you remove and reinstall wheels — particularly important in Canadian winters where road salt accelerates corrosion. A seized wheel bolt on the side of the road is a much bigger problem than the 30 seconds it takes to apply paste during a tyre change.

⚠️ Warning: Never apply ceramic paste or any lubricant to brake rotor surfaces, brake pad friction material, or drum brake friction surfaces. Contamination of friction surfaces will significantly reduce braking performance and can create a dangerous safety hazard.
