Introduction to NYCOTE:
NYCOTE is a protective coating developed by Nylok to address the need for an affordable and efficient way to protect fastener threads from weld spatter and electrodeposited paints. It uses a white non-conductive 98% pure Teflon® PFA powder to form a protective layer on fasteners.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Prevents adhesion of electrodeposited paints, primers, and coatings.
• Protects against weld spatter.
• Enhances lubricity and reduces torque vs. tension scatter.
• Eliminates the need for expensive masking, plugging, or capping of threads.
• Removes the necessity for 'slave' bolts and re-tapping, which can compromise quality and safety.
• Ensures good electrical grounding and achieves known and repeatable clamp load.
• Reduces manufacturing costs by increasing productivity.
• Coats only the threads, not the grip length or faces.

Industry Applications:
NYCOTE is widely used across various industries, including agricultural, automotive, appliance, electronics, HVAC, machinery, marine, outdoor power equipment, recreation equipment, and telecommunications manufacturing.

Specifications and Approvals:

• GM: GM6076M
• Ford: WSS-M21P27 A1, A2 & A3
• Chrysler: PS8542
• International specifications include Opel ON 2018, Jaguar JFS: 02.01.13, VW N 011 1954, Daimler Benz 5870458913, and Nissan TO – 925.
