FluoroKote#1® possesses a low coefficient of friction which reduces torque requirements. When FluoroKote#1® coated fasteners are used, galling and seizing become problems of the past. Due to the absence of nut locking oxides after extensive exposure to corrosive environments, fasteners coated with our process do not need to be removed by torching, cutting or nut splitting. The easy on/easy off properties exhibited by these fasteners provide safe removal with wrenches. Lower your plant maintenance cost and increase safety by using FluoroKote#1® coated fasteners.nFluoropolymer metal coatings advantages include extreme durability and low wear. However, during assembly of fasteners in the field, the coating can sometimes be damaged. With most other fluoropolymer coatings, this results in exposed bare metal that quickly begins to show corrosion and causes the coating to fail. Our metallic base coat ensures superior corrosion resistance and continues to provide protection even under the harshest conditions.nAll orders receive the highest quality control at our supplier. Each order of FluoroKote#1® coated fasteners is checked for cure, thickness, adhesion and overall coverage. Concentrations and temperatures of all solutions and chemicals used in the process are strictly controlled and written records are maintained. Our advanced, computer controlled, automated equipment keeps the coating thickness precise and extremely uniform. Great care is taken during the process so that fasteners with a specified minimum hardness of Rockwell C32 or higher are not exposed to the absorption and entrapment of hydrogen which can cause hydrogen embrittlement failure.nOur supplier is the sole licensee and exclusive applicator of FluoroKote#1®. Competitors may claim to have a similar coating but cannot match our quality control and efficiency of operation. With state-of-the-art equipment, fasteners are coated with FluoroKote#1® at a more competitive cost without sacrificing quality. Acceptance of this revolutionary process has been steady and fast.

Nickel alloy fasteners are widely used due to their strength and ductility. Nickel superalloys exhibit high strength coupled with high temperature resistance and are used for high stress, high heat applications. Wrought nickel alloys are characterized by their anti-corrosive properties as well as the high strength and temperature resistance properties found in the other nickel alloys. Monel®, Hastelloy® and Inconel® are widely used wrought alloys. While they do produce high strength fasteners, nickel alloy screws, bolts, nuts and studs are difficult to machine and require special handling to avoid work hardening and brittleness. COMMON USES FOR NICKEL ALLOY FASTENERS INCLUDE: Food processing or food serving equipment Marine and saltwater equipment Pump and valve components Equipment and components exposed to chemicals, acids and other corrosive materials Exhaust systems, engine components and other high heat equipment. Our supplier manufactures custom fasteners using all grades of nickel alloys. We are experienced in working with metals that are difficult to machine and will accommodate the specific properties of the alloys. Our supplier offers full CNC manufacturing and forging production capabilities and can manufacture fasteners with exacting tolerances in non-standard configurations. We offer custom sizes, shapes and thread configurations. Our fasteners are manufactured to MIL-I 45208 standards and we can manufacture to ASTM, SAE, DIN and customer-defined specifications if required. We are committed to providing each client with a high quality, production-ready fastener. Our staff will work with you throughout production to ensure that your fastener meets your requirements.
