DESCRIPTION+

Carbogrip is a synthetic resin for the assembly of carbon parts

Applied, it creates a grippy surface that promotes stability. It’s also great as threadlocker and to eliminate creaking in the bottom bracket area.

Anti-slip: avoids unwanted movements of clamped components
Anti-seizing: allows the removal of any component, even after a long time
Effective against creaking of Press-Fit bottom brackets
Perfect as threadlocker for metal or composite bolts
Water-proof: it remains effective for a long time
Electric insulator: prevents galvanic corrosion and cold welding between metals
Doesn’t scratch carbon parts and can be completely removed
Extremely versatile: we keep on finding new applications for Carbogrip (listed below)

The perfect complement for Giustaforza torque wrench

Even a torque wrench like our Giustaforza is sometimes not enough when dealing with carbon components, especially if they do not stay tight despite having been clamped with the recommended torque values. Experience tells us that the shiny surface of some carbon parts might force us to exceed the maximum torque - with all risks associated - in order to keep that part in place. To avoid that scenario we created Carbogrip, a special high-molecular-weight silicon resin, spray or liquid: applied on a component, it creates a solid anti-slip layer.

How it works

When the clamping force is applied, the anti-slip layer of Carbogrip prevents the component from moving. On the other hand, when the clamping force is released, Carbogrip - thanks to its anti-seizing characteristics - allows an easy removal of the component.

Effective for a long time

With the passing of time and with repeated washing, some assembly components lose their properties. Not Carbogrip, because it creates a very stable and effective layer with the following features:

Waterproof: if used on a seat-post, it prevents water from getting into the frame
An electric insulator: avoids galvanic corrosion/cold welding between different metals
Resistant to very high temperatures: in cycling applications, the resin won’t melt or migrate nor change its properties
Carbogrip can be easily removed using Carbomove or another petrol-based solvent (e.g. aviation spirit, Hexane)

Many applications for Carbogrip

Originally created as a synthetic resin for assembly carbon components, since the very beginning Carbogrip has been a worthy ally for cycling mechanics, excelling in different applications:

A threadlocker (for steel, titanium, aluminium, carbon bolts)
For neoprene mountain bike grips: applied on the internal grip surface, it makes sure the grip easily slides onto the handlebar, locking it in place after a few minutes. The grip can then be removed by blowing air inside with a compressor.
Spread on the bead of tubeless tyres: it prevents any movement with low-pressure riding
If applied on the frame when assembling the bottom bracket, it’s great to prevent noises or creaking in the BB area (both threaded and press-fit BBs)

How to use Carbogrip as an assembly compound

Carefully clean/degrease the assembling surfaces. If assembling a seat-post, be sure to remove any grease trace inside the seat tube too.
Apply Carbogrip on the component and immediately assemble it
Tighten the mounting bolts at the suggested torque value
Wait 3-5 minutes before using the component
Unwanted Carbogrip traces can be removed with Carbomove or another petrol-based solvent

What’s inside (and what is not)

Carbogrip is a special high-molecular-weight silicone resin. It doesn’t scratch components because it doesn’t contain sand or hard friction powder.

Tips and tricks

Spray: if you do not use Carbogrip frequently (or forget to put the bottle cap after use) the resin could harden and block the nozzle. In that case, just remove the nozzle: a droplet of Carbomove (or another petrol-based solvent) inside it will restore its functionality.

Carbogrip is made in Italy
