Anti-seize composition in solid form

1. A method for preparing a solid anti-seize composition comprising:

selecting a grease with an ASTM D 217 penetration at 25° C. from about 200 to about 400 mm;

selecting a naphthenic petroleum oil with a viscosity of less than about 300 SUS at 100° F. and an API gravity at 60° F. from about 23 to about 25;

mixing said grease and said oil to form a combined oil/grease composition;

adding and mixing into said oil/grease composition (a) a solid anti-seize lubricant; and (b) a polymeric matrix to form said solid anti-seize composition.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

heating said matrix material or said oil/grease composition to a temperature from about 80° C. to about 100° C.;

maintaining said anti-seize composition at the temperature of about 80° C. to about 100° C. while mixing;

adding said solid anti-seize composition at the temperature of about 80° C. to about 100° C. into a dispensing container having a generally elongate hollow body and having first and second ends, with one of said ends defining a dispense bottom to releasably hold the composition; and

cooling said composition to room temperature to solidify said composition.
