A range of processes developed to prevent fastener seizing, reduce installation torque, limit material adhesion, and more. ND’s masking and lubricating processes help customers decrease assembly and disassembly time which leads to an increase in productivity. Pre-Applied fasteners are ready for use right out of the box with no curing or drying required.
Pre-Applied
Anti-Seize
ND’s Antiseize products are a pre-applied lubricants meant to prevent galling of metals at high temperatures. This water-based material is applied to threaded fasteners and subsequently dried to a non-tacky coating. This material effectively lubricates threaded assemblies, permitting easy disassembly in temperatures of up to 1,200°F (650°C).
EZ Drive®
EZ Drive is a synthetic thermoplastic resin that is specifically designed to increase installation efficiency by serving as an ergonomic assembly aid. It is used to reduce installation torques on thread forming fasteners and in turn reduce worker fatigue while increasing productivity.
ND LM-1293®
ND LM-1293 is an automotive approved process in which fasteners are accurately coated with one of a variety of thread masking and lubricating materials. The use of a PTFE type material and a proprietary binder system in LM-1293 makes it the ideal coating for many applications.
Specialty Coatings
Specialty Coatings are paints, lubricants, and custom, high-performance finishes that are used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive assemblies such as hood springs, window rails, seat tracks, and any number of brackets, clips, and hinges.
