Yes, and no. Depends on the formulation. There are metal free anti-seize products such as graphite, as well as mixes with MoS2 (jet-lube 550, Loctite Moly-50, Molykote M-77, etc.). Granted, standard anti-seize that is used is mostly a metal mix. Most likely [MENTION=29368]rootboy[/MENTION] is thinking of graphite... but for the most part, graphite and molybdenum seem to be interchangeable as solid additives or dry lubricants.
