For a cost effective “threadlocking” option that meets industry and military standards, APM Hexseal offers the option of the Nylon “patch”. Here, the screw is heated up and the Nylon powder is sprayed onto the threads. The heated screw melts the Nylon and bonds it to the fastener. No adhesive or tape is required to give a high vibration resistant assembly. Plus, depending on the material chosen, the strip can be re-used up to 15 times. The Nylon “patch” is useful in applications where cost is important and the screw will not be removed and replaced many times.
