Features
Features of Effetto Mariposa Carbogrip Carbon Paste
- It's anti-slip: avoids unwanted movements of clamped components.
- It's anti-seizing: allows the removal of any component, even after a long time.
- It's effective against creaking of Press-Fit bottom brackets.
- It's perfect as threadlocker for metal or composite bolts.
- It's Water-proof: it remains effective for a long time.
- It's an electric insulator: prevents galvanic corrosion and cold welding between metals.
- Doesn't scratch carbon parts and can be completely removed.
- It's extremely versatile: we keep on finding new applications for Carbogrip (listed below).
- What's Inside (and What is not): Carbogrip i s a special high-molecular-weight silicone resin. It doesn’t scratch components because it doesn’t contain sand or hard friction powder.
- Carbogrip is made in Italy.
Trips 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.
- Blister: If a used blister is not emptied, the resin will polymerize and block the small opening, preserving the content for more applications.
Usage
Usage Directions of Effetto Mariposa Carbogrip Carbon Paste
- 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.
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:
- It's waterproof: if used on a seat-post, it prevents water from getting into the frame;
- It's an electric insulator: avoids galvanic corrosion/cold welding between different metals;
- It's 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 Application 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:
It's great as threadlocker (for steel, titanium, aluminium, carbon bolts);
It's ideal 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 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); and many many other!
