Product Detail
PTFE Coated Studs – Fluoropolymer Coated B7 Stud Bolts for Corrosive Flange Service | Model PTFE Coated Studs
PTFE Coated Studs are B7 stud bolts (or other base materials) coated with a low-friction fluoropolymer layer. The coating delivers three things traditional hot-dip galvanized, cadmium or zinc plating cannot: long-term corrosion resistance in aggressive atmospheres, a very low coefficient of friction for consistent tensioning, and easy installation and removal after years in service. The most widely specified combination is B7 studs with 2H nuts, used on flange joints across petrochemical, offshore, chemical and power plant piping.
