Silca Hold Fast Carbon Paste is a high-friction
carbon assembly compound designed to keep carbon and alloy components secure with clean, controlled installs. Its high-tack, non-grease silicone base helps parts stay put during setup, while the elevated silicate friction additive content is formulated to increase surface friction so the correct fit can often be achieved with less clamping force than dry assembly—supporting safer torque practices for delicate cockpit and seatpost interfaces.
- High-tack, non-grease silicone formula - improves initial “stay-put” feel during assembly and helps keep installs cleaner than traditional greasy pastes
- High-friction silicate additive load - formulated with three to four times more friction additive than typical carbon pastes for secure holds on smooth carbon and alloy surfaces
- Torque-friendly grip - increases surface friction to help reduce the temptation to over-tighten, lowering the risk of slippage, fatigue, or damage when components are torqued to spec
- Ideal for common slip points - well-suited for seatpost, handlebar, and stem/cockpit interfaces where controlled friction is critical
- Dye-free, wipes clean - won’t stain fingers, clothing, or paint; cleans up easily with Silca Gear Wipes
- 3.38oz size - practical volume for repeated shop or home use across multiple installs
