Anti-seize assembly compounds or lubricants are most frequently used for prepping titanium frames, in areas such as bottom brackets, head tubes, water bottle cage bosses,and all threaded fittings. This coppery lubricant prevents of metal-to-metal contact parts - especially those subject to extreme pressures and moist conditions. It is frequently referred to as "ti-prep" but is equally effective for aluminum, magnesium and carbon steel, especially when any of those materials are mated with titanium.

The viscous copper-zinc oxide mix prevents galvanic corrosion and can be used on any metal to metal interface instead of grease. One rationale for that is that Anti-Seize Lubricant will not break down. For cyclists who ride for years with minimal maintenance, this is a great solution. However, it also doesn't come off cleanly or easily, and is impossible to remove from clothing and gear. You should always wear gloves when applying or cleaning. If you ride titanium (frames, seatposts, pedal spindles, etc) with a metal bike or receiving threads, use Finish Line Anti-Seize Assembly Lubricant to prevent nasty chemical bonds. You may use it for other work as well, just remember to wear gloves and be smart about handling.
