Henkel - Bonderite GP460 (1-USpt-Ctnr)

Additional Product Information

Overview

Henkel Bonderite GP460 is a graphite-based anti-seize paste trusted by aviation engineers and ground crew in MRO operations worldwide. Its high-temperature, high-load formulation prevents galling, seizing, and thread damage, ensuring that fasteners and critical components remain safe and serviceable. It delivers consistent performance under demanding conditions, protecting assets and reducing aircraft downtime.

Key Technical Specs

• Type: Graphite-based anti-seize paste
• Composition: Refined graphite in petrolatum/mineral oil carrier
• Thermal Range: Up to ~538°C (1000°F) continuous service temperature
• Load-Bearing: Suitable for engines, landing gear, and other critical fastened components
• Consistency: Paste for easy application without running or dripping

Approvals & Specifications

• OEM / Manufacturer Approvals:
  • GE A50TF201
  • MIL-T-5544 (legacy GP-type documentation)
• Meets general aerospace and MRO standards for thread lubrication and anti-seize

Typical Aircraft MRO / AOG Applications

• Fasteners on engines, airframe fittings, landing gear, and high-load bolts
• Spark plug threads, valve stems, and other threaded or sliding parts
• Prevents delays during AOG situations; ensures rapid response for MRO teams

Compatibility & Safety Notes

• Works in high-temperature and high-load environments
• Causes skin and eye irritation; use gloves and eye protection
• Graphite is electrically conductive; avoid sensitive electrical contacts unless approved
• Store at 5-30°C in a cool, ventilated place, away from oxidizers

Packaging & Procurement

• Supplied in 1 US pint (?0.473 L / 0.5 kg / 1.1 lbs) container
• Ideal for MRO hangars or mobile AOG kits
• Shelf life: check current SDS; typically stable under normal conditions

Why Chosen for AOG / MRO

• Prevents component damage under extreme temperatures and torque loads
• Reduces aircraft downtime, critical for fast turnaround
• Trusted globally for consistency and reliability

Practical Suggestions

• Keep at least one container in your MRO hangar or AOG kit
• Apply a thin layer; over-application can affect torque specs
• Use torque-corrected charts when reassembling threaded components
• Avoid graphite contact with sensitive circuits

Manufacture / Aviation Spec Codes

• Boeing: Check GE approval A50TF201
• Airbus / Lockheed Martin: verify with OEM maintenance manuals
• Other: referenced in legacy MIL-T-5544 documents
