-Retains Full Strength: APM Hi-Temperature Patch process involves no drilling or milling, so there is no loss of the fastener’s strength or hardness and no troublesome burrs or chips.
-Saves Money & Time: APM Hi-Temperature Patch eliminates the need for expensive lock washers, cotter pins, or castellated nuts, and bottled thread locking chemicals at the point of assembly (no harmful vapors, no environmental disposal issues). The Patch remains secure; fasteners coated with APM patch can be automatically fed through standard bowl feeders without fear of material falling off.
-Chemical resistance: APM HI-Temperature Patch will not dry, shrink or otherwise be affected when exposed to commercial solvents, alcohol, gasoline, oil, caustic soda, jet fuel, etc.
-Reusable: APM fasteners coated with the Hi- Temperature Patch can be reused repeatedly with out damage to the threads. The patch is particularly resistant to deformation which makes it ideal for repeated use.
-Eliminates Secondary Sorting: During the patch application process, camera systems are used to verify the parts are precisely coated – thus eliminating the need for customer secondary sorting.
