Blu-Coat? Thread Mask0 pages
BLU-COAT™ THREAD MASK
Blu-Coat™ thread mask is available for
applications where the hardware is installed
prior to painting. During assembly, the threads
of the mating hardware will remove paint,
electrodeposited automotive under coatings, and
weld spatter upon application of torque.
Use of such specially coated fasteners eliminates
the usual need to mask threads manually prior to
application of electrodeposited paints or primers.
As a result, value-added production benefits
and economies can be realized, since masking
materials (such as tape, plugs, or plastic caps)
and time-consuming masking-related tasks before
and after paint operations become unnecessary.
Due to the lubricity, coated fasteners can further
prove ideal where galling may be a concern, such
as those applications where a stainless-steel nut
must mate with a stainless screw.
All types of threaded fasteners can be treated
with this optional coating, including externally
and internally threaded types in sizes #6-32
and above. The coating preserves the integrity
of fastener threads and will not adversely affect
fastener plating.
BLU-COAT™ Thread Mask:
After painting
After mating hardware is installed
Blu-Coat™ thread mask makes it
easier to remove the paint when mating
fastener is applied. It takes a nominal
amount of torque to strip the paint off
during assembly, and some paint may
remain on the threads.
Service temperature range: -6S°F to +400° F/ -53.9°C to 204.4°C.
"BC" suffix will be added to part number to designate Blu-Coat
thread mask on a fastener.
