Product Description:
These powder coatings are applied to increase wear resistance, reduce friction, eliminate squeaks, prevent bimetal corrosion, resist UV weathering, provide electrical insulation, or provide an aesthetically pleasing surface finish. Parts subjected to salt spray testing can reach 1,000 hrs. + before signs of red rust (depending on substrate, part configuration, etc.)

Nylon 11 is a thermoplastic powder coating that is typically applied utilizing electrostatic spray methods or fluidized bed. State-of-the-art processing developed by Forest City engineers provides the most consistent, high quality coating in the industry. Our application methods allow these coatings to be selectively applied to selected areas of a fastener or stamping. Nylon coatings provide superior protection from galvanic corrosion between dissimilar materials, excellent corrosion protection (400 hour minimum salt spray) and excellent lubricity.

Epoxy powder coatings provide excellent chemical and corrosion resistance.

Surface Requirements:
The surfaces to be coated shall be either microcystalline zinc phosphated, zinc plated, or iron phosphated steel.

Typical Applications:
Stamped nuts, bolts, screws, clips, stampings and door/seat strikers

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.
