Nylok Corporation Thread Masking Nycote®

Nycote® thread masking prevents weld spatter, electro-deposited paints, primers or coatings from adhering to the threads. Nylok’s patented Nycote® coating process provides an affordable and efficient way of protecting fastener threads from weld spatter and electro-deposited paints, primers and coatings. Nycote® is a non-conductive powder thread coating that can be applied to virtually any fastener to add lubricity and reduce torque versus tension scatter. Nycote® is widely used in industries such as agricultural, automotive, appliance, electronics, HVAC, machinery, marine, outdoor power equipment, recreation equipment and telecommunications manufacturing. Advantages Eliminates masking, plugging or capping of threads Eliminates the need for “slave” bolts Eliminates re-tapping which can compromise quality and safety Prevents the adhesion of electro-deposited primers and coatings Prevents adhesion of weld spatter Reduces torque vs. tension scatter Improves lubricity and reduces installation drive friction Can be coated to external or internal threaded fasteners Achieves known and repeatable clamp load Guarantees good electrical grounding Reduces manufacturing cost by increasing productivity Coating is only on the threads — not grip length or faces Technical Data Non-Conductive Can be applied to virtually any fastener to add lubricity and reduce torque versus tension scatter.
