By combining extreme heat resistance with almost total chemical inertness, excellent dielectric stability, and an incredibly low coefficient of friction, Teflon® (PTFE) industrial coatings offer a balance of properties unbeatable by any other material.

As the original high-performance nonstick finish, Teflon® provides exceptional resistance to chemical reactions, heavy corrosion, and environmental stress-cracking. Since 1988, U-Bolt-It has provided high-quality, certified-engineering coating services. Our in-house Teflon® coating process acts as a powerful layer of protection as fasteners are manipulated and embedded into place, significantly improving the strength, reliability, and lifespan of your critical assemblies.

Teflon Coating Bolts and Screws

What Are the Benefits of Teflon® Coated Fasteners?

Eroded nuts and bolts become a fragile liability when bearing heavy loads. Applying a Teflon® coating prevents long-term damage and catastrophic failure by providing the following mechanical advantages:

  • Unmatched Chemical Inertness: Highly resistant to harsh chemicals, making it ideal for the chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries.
  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Acts as a durable barrier against moisture, saltwater, and industrial solvents, preventing rust and degradation.
  • Extreme Thermal Stability: Maintains its protective and lubricious properties in high-temperature environments.
  • Low Coefficient of Friction: Dramatically reduces friction during installation, preventing thread galling and reducing wear and tear on mating components.
  • Dielectric Stability: Excellent electrical insulation properties, making it highly effective for electrical and heavy equipment applications.

What Hardware Can Receive Teflon® Coating?

We offer cost-efficient, in-house Teflon® coating services for both large bulk orders and short custom runs. We can apply this durable fluoropolymer coating to a wide variety of fasteners, including:

  • Bolts & Screws: Hex Bolts, Custom Bent Bolts, Eye Bolts, Studs, Screws.
  • Specialty Hardware: Standard U-Bolts and Custom U-Bolts.
  • Nuts & Washers: Hex Nuts and Washers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teflon® Coating

What is the difference between Teflon® and PTFE?

PTFE stands for polytetrafluoroethylene, which is the actual chemical name of the synthetic fluoropolymer. Teflon® is simply the highly recognized brand name for PTFE, originally discovered and trademarked by Chemours (a spin-off of DuPont). When you request Teflon® coating, you are receiving a high-grade PTFE coating.

How does Teflon® prevent thread galling?

Galling occurs when friction and pressure cause the threads of a bolt and nut (especially stainless steel) to fuse together during installation. Because Teflon® has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid material, it acts as a permanent, dry lubricant. This ensures nuts and bolts thread together smoothly, even under immense torque and heavy loads.

Can Teflon® coated fasteners withstand high temperatures?

Yes. Teflon® (PTFE) is renowned for its exceptional thermal stability. It can operate continuously at high temperatures without breaking down, melting, or losing its chemical resistance, making it an excellent choice for engine bays, industrial ovens, and steam processing equipment.

Why choose U-Bolt-It for your coated fasteners?

Because we manage our Teflon® coating process entirely in-house, we have complete control over the quality, thickness, and turnaround time. We don't just coat parts; our engineering team understands the exact metallurgical requirements of your industry. Contact a member of the U-Bolt-It team today to find out how we can extend the lifespan of your hardware.

"We feel really happy working with you guys, it has been a short time business relationship but definitely we’ve received such a great service from your company that would be nice to keep working together. Junior is our contact point and there’s nothing but great things to say about his attentions. By the way, I truly loved the microfiber cloth. I’m always have a hard time to clean my glasses; I can use the one from U-bolt it without applying any liquid and just leaves them super clean. We appreciate your excellent service and looking forward to new projects. Kind regards and have a wonderful rest of the week."

"Our buyer received a letter from your company regarding an order I put in for some 3” stainless steel U-Bolts. I just wanted to thank you for the kind letter and let you know that your U-Bolts have been completely invaluable to us. We use them in the manufacturing process of an extremely sensitive product. Our previous U-bolts were zinc plated, therefore they became rusted too easily and risked the quality of the product. We hadn’t been able to find another U-bolt supplier with our specific size requirements (without going custom) until I came across your website! We are very grateful for the quality product you have sent us. We will definitely continue to use your company and the services provided."

"I wanted to say how helpful it was to be able to order small quantities of screws from your business. As a start up business, without an established presence, it is virtually impossible to get small quantities of screws as samples. When we go into production, we will be ordering millions of screws, but we need to know that the same screws we test with our prototypes will be available at bulk prices at that time."
