Fluorokote #1 offers a large array of benefits, making it a great all-around coating. Fluorokote #1 not only protects the fastener from corrosion, chemicals, galling, and seizing; it also saves turnaround time by eliminating the need for torching, cutting, or nut-splitting at the end of its cycle. We like to call that easy on/easy off. We achieve this by maintaining a low coefficient of friction, which reduces torque requirements.  Lastly, during assembly of fasteners in the field, the coating can sometimes be damaged. With most other fluoropolymer coatings, this results in exposed bare metal that quickly begins to corrode and causes the fastener to fail. Our metallic base coat ensures superior corrosion resistance and continues to provide protection even under the harshest conditions. Fluorokote #1 is built to last, no matter where it is.

he Fluorokote #1 coating process is rather simple at when looking at it from a high-level view. We start with surface prep. We use the latest industry-accepted methods to thoroughly clean all contaminants from the fasteners. Manufacturing oils, rust and scale are removed to ensure the highest quality coating. Then, a metallic base coat, this allows for your base layer of corrosion resistance. Next is an adhesion coat. The adhesion coat creates a chemical bond between the base coat and the top coat. Finally, we round it off with the top coat. A heat-cured fluoropolymer, which is used to seal the two base coatings and give easy on/easy off characteristics. All of these processes feature advanced computerized, efficient processes that make it that much easier to get your order to you faster. This combination of processes creates the Fluorokote #1® coating process.
