It's best used for carbon fibre handlebars, stems and seat posts. Their non-toxic formula is also resistant to detergents and washout to give you long-lasting performance in the toughest conditions. Ideal for use on carbon fibre handlebars, stems and seat posts, the carbon assembly paste is a specially formulated blend of highly refined natural oils and ultra-fine non-slip pumice particles, designed to eliminate slip between carbon fibre components. Gripper paste increases the friction between carbon fibre components and their mating surfaces, so reducing the torque required to clamp them. The non-toxic formula is also resistant to detergents and washout to give you long-lasting performance in the harshest conditions. For use on carbon fibre handlebars, stems & seat posts, eliminates slip on clamped parts & prevents seizing. Made of renewable, natural oils and pumice particles. Readily Biodegradable. 100% PCR & PIR Recycled Packaging. M15 threaded cap.
