Foreverbolt innovates in the stainless steel arena

Foreverbolt has released its NL-19 treatment after 15 years of lab testing and development.

The advanced corrosion protection treatment modifies the surface of stainless steel products for a brighter, stronger and more corrosion-resistant finish that won't affect the fastener's exterior dimensions.

"Stainless steel fasteners have remained unchanged since their creation nearly 80 years ago," said company founder Patrick Vogel. "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 7x. Not only were we successful in preventing corrosion but after treatment, the fasteners are 1.9% stronger. It's nothing short of amazing!"

"With so many industries needing corrosion-resistant fasteners, we are experiencing a high demand for our NL-19 treated products," adds Vogel. "We could not be more thrilled to have teamed up with Grainger to bring this technology to the marketplace."
