Introduction
Nylok's innovative approach, termed 'Innyvation', focuses on developing products that address customer challenges. The NYLOK BLUE PELLET and TORQ-STRIP are pioneering products in self-locking fasteners, developed over 50 years ago.

Product Development
Nylok invented a patented process of embedding a nylon pellet into fastener threads, making them self-locking, self-sealing, and reusable. This method was later enhanced by embedding a strip into the threads. Nylok continues to lead in fastener technology with numerous patents.

Product Features
The NYLOK BLUE PELLET and TORQ-STRIP elements are embedded in fastener threads, providing:

• Exceptional vibration resistance
• Elimination of lockwashers
• Reusability
• Non-toxic and assembler-friendly
• Compatibility with internal or external threaded fasteners
• Adjustability and ease of assembly
• Diverse torque levels
• Applicability to various materials
• Resistance to lubricants, fuel, hydraulic fluids, and most solvents
• Durability and cost-effectiveness

Application and Specifications
These self-locking elements can be applied to existing fasteners or supplied as ready-to-install. They are effective for screws as small as #00-90 (M1.2) and larger diameters. Available materials include Nylon Zytel, Kel-F, Teflon, and Vespel, each with specific temperature ranges.

Industry Standards
NYLOK BLUE PELLET and TORQ-STRIP meet and exceed key specifications from companies like GM, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and military standards.

Conclusion
Nylok's products offer significant cost savings and efficiency improvements. Early collaboration in the design stage is recommended for optimal results.
