Be warned. It camn also galvanically corrode some metals. Anecdotally
most report issues with aluminium

Anecdotally being the important word.

Thick grease is all you need to keep a low temperature joint free to
unscrew.

You'd think it was a rare and expensive material.

It is ideal for things that can get hot. Exhaust fittings, wheels and
brake pads. So if you've bought it for that, just use for anything that
needs an anti-seize compound, but not a lubricant.
