SurTec at Fastener Fair Global 2025: Coatings for fasteners
As a specialist in surface technology, SurTec will be presenting its extensive portfolio of functional coatings at the Fastener Fair Global 2025. This includes solutions for all conceivable requirements that a coating on an untreated fastener can fulfill.
The solutions that SurTec will be presenting at Fastener Fair 2025 in Stuttgart (March 25 - 27) include sealing, securing and friction adjustment. In the field of functional electroplating, SurTec will be presenting corrosion protection solutions such as (de)phosphating and zinc electroplating for the processing of steel. The processes include pre-treatment, coating, passivation and sealing for the most demanding requirements. "Through strategic acquisitions, SurTec has established itself as a key coating partner for the global fastener industry," explains Dr. Jens Krömer, Director Global Sales & Markets. "The integration of Omnitechnik and Precote USA and the inclusion of anti-friction coatings from sister companies OKS and Klüber Lubrication created the new application area of functional coatings."
Fastener Fair with a focus on sustainability
With a special focus on sustainability, SurTec offers innovative PFAS-free solutions for the mobility of the future. Microencapsulations such as Precote 30 and 80 are already PFAS-free. A PFAS-free version of Precote 85, the best-selling pre-coating for threadlocking, will be launched on February 25, 2025. These coatings are used by leading OEMs in electric vehicle bodies and chassis. Electromobility designs are increasingly relying on pre-coatings for sealing. Precote 15 as a water-based, PFAS-free coating is used in battery packs worldwide. The SurTec Coat 2000 series offers PFAS-free lubricants for sealing rings and plain bearings. These solutions underline SurTec's commitment to sustainable, future-proof mobility and high-performance applications.
