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.
• Adds lubricity to fasteners 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, enhancing quality and safety.
• Improves installation drive friction and ensures good electrical grounding.
• Coats only the threads, not the grip length or faces, reducing manufacturing costs and increasing productivity.

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.
