Services
Pre-Applied Fastener Processing
Our pre-applied fastener processing applies specialized locking and sealing materials directly to threaded components during manufacturing. This eliminates field assembly steps while ensuring consistent coverage. The technology prevents loosening from vibration, eliminates leaks, and reduces assembly time across automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Chemical Blending
We develop proprietary chemical formulations for fastener applications in our ISO-certified blending facility. Our chemists create custom adhesives, epoxies, and sealants that meet specific performance requirements. The process includes scale-up production and quality control testing to ensure consistent material properties for critical fastening applications.
Design Engineering
Our engineering team designs custom application equipment for pre-applied fastener technologies. The division develops high-speed coating systems that integrate with manufacturing lines while maintaining precise material application. This ensures optimal performance of locking and sealing solutions across various fastener configurations and production volumes.
Vibra-Tite Bottled Products
The Vibra-Tite product line includes bottled threadlockers, sealants, and assembly aids for maintenance and repair applications. These liquid solutions provide vibration resistance and sealing properties comparable to pre-applied systems. They serve as cost-effective alternatives for field applications where factory coating isn't feasible.
LinearGS Inspection Systems
Our LinearGS systems provide automated inspection and sorting of processed fasteners. The technology detects coating defects and dimensional variances at high speeds while maintaining traceability. This ensures only components meeting strict quality standards reach customers across critical manufacturing sectors.
