Single Use Tungsten Disulfide For Less Friction Equals The Best Install

Fasteners

Improve efficiency in your fastener installations with Tungsten Disulfide. One easy install and one tight fit, use Tungsten Disulfide when it has to go smoothly once. WS2 is .5 microns thick so there is no need to adjust the tolerances on existing products. A simple solution for your friction problems.

Aerospace Fasteners

Single Use Application

Example: A manufacturer of aerospace fastener and installation tooling was seeking to reduce the installation torque of a very light blind bolt fastener.

Result: Using our proprietary fixtures, Applied Tungstenite coated the entire blind bolt, including the indents and the inside of the hex head, significantly reducing the installation friction.

The Tungsten Disulfide Advantage

1. Less Friction equals Smooth Install

2. One Smooth Layer 0.5 Micron Thick

3. Uniform Torque

4. Minimizes Migrating Material

5. Compatible with Liquid Oxygen
