THE INDUSTRY’S NEWEST INNOVATIVE FASTENING SOLUTIONS
NySeal ® 2.0 provides a fresh solution to an ageold
problem in fastening – under head sealing. Most
under head fastener sealants on the market today
squeeze out of the joint during installation, making
tightening strategies complex, and reusability uncertain.
In contrast, NySeal® 2.0’s durability allows for multiple
installations, while still meeting and exceeding required
sealing test thresholds. Its durability is achieved through
an advanced polymer formulation; this formulation was
developed with a focus on several material properties
including hardness, malleability, and its ability to adhere
well to steel substrates. Nylok®’s NySeal®2.0, has all
of these characteristics, so much so that at least one
major OEM has declared NySeal®2.0 to be a “best in
class material” for under head sealing. NySeal 2.0 is
also known as “The King of Under Head Sealants,” due
to its exceptional durability.
NyShield ® is a unique coating that is applied
primarily to steel fasteners, allowing the fasteners to

be in contact with lightweight materials (magnesium,
aluminum, stainless steel, carbon fiber, etc.), without
creating a galvanic cell. This cell leads to accelerated
corrosion propagation. Prior to introduction of this
product, fastener engineers had few options for securing
lightweight materials, especially in demanding automotive
environments. The few options available were bulky and
expensive, and compromised the quality of the fastened
joint. Some of these included aluminum fasteners or
washers, and exotic material combinations. NyShield®
is applied quickly in a high-speed manufacturing process.
It satisfies corrosion cycles simulating 15+ years in the
field, and doesn’t create joint loosening, even when
placed under the fastener head and subjected to high
compressive forces. This means that, with NyShield®,
there is no fear of clamp load loss and subsequent joint
loosening in application. This product has one additional
attribute; it has also been used for electrical isolation,
due to its exceptional dielectric properties.
