AJAX LOCKING
AND SEALING

Finish Finder

With the capability of processing over 30 million pieces per month, our Lock & Seal operation applies microencapsulated thread adhesives to both plated and coated fasteners. These adhesives are designed to be applied, and heat cured in place; remaining dormant until the shearing action of installation breaks imbedded capsules, allowing the active ingredients to be released in the assembled joint for engineered integrity. We can offer popular microencapsulated thread locking adhesives, such as Precote USA and Loctite, applied in a fully automated and extremely high-speed environment. A nylon/thermoplastic thread “patch” is also offered for anti-vibration requirements. The equipment either flows or pressure feeds the selected material on the fastener threads at rates that can exceed over 200 pieces per minute. Following the process and before release, representative samples of each lot are tested to confirm that the locking strength required has been achieved.
