Fastener Coatings

Oxyseal® Longlife Coating

Oxyseal is an effective, economical way to further protect Atlas fasteners from corrosion. This durable coating can be applied to the head - and threads, if desired - of all Atlas fasteners.

The basic plating is mechanically applied zinc with a minimum thickness of 0.3 mil. The post-plating film is carefully compounded to be nonconductive and acid resistant. It is also resistant to chipping, abrasion, and scuffing from socket impact.

Note: test results depend on pretreatment, dry film thickness, and cure.

All test results and recommendations are based on laboratory tests. Specific job site conditions should be taken into consideration when specifying the proper fastener. Because applications vary, we assume no liability for use of this information.

Spectrum Custom Paint

Fasteners are individually spray painted with 1 mil thick Polyurethane Paint. Spectrum Paint has a finish of exceptional physical and chemical resistance. Computerized color assures a perfect match.

The Polyurethane Enamels are low gloss, two package coatings for use where extended exterior durability and high performance are required. The performance properties of Spectrum Paint coatings are ideal for metal surfaces.

Performance Tests

The tests below were conducted on Bonderite 1000 panels at 1.0 mil dry film thickness, cured for 30 minutes at 180°F (82.2°C) and aged 14 days at room temperature 77°F (25°C) using V66V29 Catalyst. Each test rated excellent or no failure.
