Nylok® Blue Nylon Torq-Patch® Tuflok®
Prevailing Torque Locking Element
Nylok® Blue Nylon Torq-Patch® Tuflok® is a self-locking element comprised of nylon permanently bonded onto the threads of a fastener. When the Nylok® Blue Nylon Torq-Patch® Tuflok® is engaged, it creates a wedge between the fastener and mating part, compressing the nylon and creating metal-to-metal contact opposite the patch. This metal-to-metal contact results in a positive resistance to vibration and loosening. Since nylon has great memory characteristics, this locking element can be reused several times.Nylok Fastener Advantages
Nylok screws offer several advanced benefits for industrial fastening applications. The nylon screw patch creates a self-locking feature that prevents loosening from vibrations, lubricants, fuel, hydraulic fluids, and most commercial solvents.
