SealTek™

Overview

SealTek is a pre-applied process which adheres a line of acrylic-based sealing materials manufactured by ND Industries to the underhead of fasteners. SealTek processed fasteners negate the need for additional O-rings, gaskets, or sealing washers. When the fastener is installed, SealTek conforms to surface dimensions and fills voids between mating parts, forming a robust seal.

How it Works

During the SealTek pre-application process, ND Industries precisely dispenses then heat or UV cures the selected material onto customer provided fasteners. The result is a self-sealing fastener which is dry to the touch and ready for immediate installation. SealTek processing is compatible with a wide variety of parts for use in functions such as:
• Cushioning • Insulating • Masking • Sealing • Trimming • Controlling Noise • Reducing Vibration

Pre-Applied Process Features

Advanced Sealing

SealTek processed fasteners provide an immediate positive seal of up to 500 psi which eliminates leaks while filling voids between mating parts.

Versatile

Pre-Applied SealTek is compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metals including a wide range of common fastener finishes.

Reliable

Unlike O-rings and nylon washers which are difficult to seat, tear easily and lose integrity when nicked or cut, SealTek processed fasteners are easy to seat and perform consistently.

Environmental Resistance

Materials pre-applied with the SealTek processing offer weatherability and dielectric strength while providing excellent fire, chemical, abrasion, UV, and ozone resistance.

Chemical Resistant

SealTek’s pre-application process creates three dimensional cross-linked materials which resist a wide variety of chemicals including gasoline, oil, diesel fuel, alcohol, kerosene, and hydraulic fluids.

Long Shelf Life

The materials selected for Pre-Applied SealTek exhibit an extended shelf life and will not dry or shrink with exposure to the environment.

Pre-Applied Benefits

Saves Time: Pre-Applied SealTek fasteners can be automatically fed through standard feeding devices – speeding up your process and improving productivity.
Saves Money: The Pre-Applied SealTek process is less expensive than other underhead fastener sealing methods. It also eliminates the need for costly O-rings and nylon washers.
Quality Control: Pre-Applied SealTek coats fasteners to specification, insuring measurable and consistent performance.
Reusable: SealTek processed fasteners are removable and reusable.
Corrosion Resistance: The materials used in the Pre-Applied SealTek process isolate dissimilar metals which helps to reduce galvanic corrosion.

Notes

Coated fasteners should be stored at 22±4°C and relative humidity of <50% prior to installation in final assembly.
Sealtek AEM is inert and will not degrade when stored under these storage conditions.
