Nano Coating on Stainless Steel Fasteners: Define Functional Exclusions

Fasteners can have functional interfaces beyond their visible appearance. A cosmetic treatment should not extend into those interfaces without approval.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Define the surfaces included and protect threads, bearing faces or other specified exclusions under the component's requirements.

Treating a decorative fastener head is different from coating the entire fastening assembly.

Decision limits

Do not imply that a nano coating changes the fastening specification or eliminates the need for appropriate material selection.

Discuss the intended surface with NANOLAB. Use the current product documentation for formulation-specific instructions.
