Abstract: Seize is prevented between metal surfaces exposed to high temperature and corrosive gases by an antiseize coating layer. The coating comprises per 100 weight parts, about 10-30 parts chemically inert anti-seize particles that have a fusion point above about 100.degree. C. and are in the size range of from about 2-100 microns; about 5-25 parts of a polymeric binder resin that is adherent to metal surfaces; and the balance, a volatile solvent for the resin. The liquid coating is applied by suitable means, and dried by evaporating the solvent. At least a layer of the particles remains dispersed in the dried resin and provides the coating with its antiseize properties.
