Product Description:
Forest City Technologies applies fluorinated ethylene propylene to internally and externally threaded fasteners and stampings. The fluoropolymer coating is applied to threads, primarily to repel the electrodeposited primers (E-coat) that fasteners incur prior to assembly. This fluoropolymer coating also prevents weld splatter that is generated during the attachment of weld studs and weld nuts, from adhering to the coated surface areas. A low-bake version (300° F cure) of our fluoropolymer coating is also available, making it the friendly choice for heat-sensitive finishes such as phosphate, zinc and copper flash.

Color:
Light green

Typical Applications:
Weld studs, weld nuts, pierce studs, pierce nuts, nut plates and stampings

Pre-treatment Surface Requirements:
In the majority of applications the substrate is plain steel, although it can be of a number of different finishes. The surface must be reasonably clean of dirt and oils prior to application of material. When necessary, parts are subjected to an aqueous wash or solvent degreasing process.

Post-treatment Surface Requirements:
Rust inhibitor solution is applied to finished parts, when required.

Forest City utilizes a variety of coatings that provide long-lasting resistance to galvanic corrosion in virtually any environment. Additionally, Forest City’s use of innovative coating systems provides improved edge coverage for increased corrosion protection on the threads and heads.
