Fastener surface treatment

The Foreverbolt NL-19 treatment is an

advanced corrosion protection, developed

to reduce maintenance and repair costs.

The treatment modifies the surface of

stainless steel products, producing a

brighter finish, greater strength, and higher

corrosion resistance, but without affecting

the fastener’s exterior dimensions.

Company founder Patrick Vogel explained:

“Under normal conditions ordinary stainless

fasteners will corrode and fail, resulting in

unwanted replacement and maintenance

costs.

“The NL-19 treatment modifies the surface

of stainless steel fasteners in a way that

increases their corrosion resistance by

more than seven times. Not only were we

successful in preventing corrosion but after

treatment, the fasteners are 1.9 percent

stronger.”

ASTM B117 salt spray and hardness-tensile

test data for Foreverbolt’s NL-19 treated

products can be found at the company’s

website.
