Geomet 321 Coated Fasteners

Stud Bolts, Nuts, Screws, Threaded Rod & Washers

GEOMET® 321 is applied to protect fasteners and many type of metallic parts from corrosion and is used in many industries. It can be combined with PLUS®, DACROLUB® or GEOKOTE® topcoats to provide a very broad range of friction coefficients. It is the most widely used product in zinc flake technology.

  • Thin dry-film, non-electrolytic
  • Water-based chemistry
  • Passivated zinc and aluminium flakes in a binder, patented chemistry
  • Chrome free alternative to DACROMET® 320
  • Metallic silver appearance

Application process

GEOMET® 321 can be applied by Dip-Spin, Spray, Dip-Drain-Spin using bulk or rack

Health and Safety

  • Aqueous dispersion
  • Complies with REACh
  • Complies with the 2000/53/CE and 2002/95/CE directives

GEOMET 321 Characterictics & Performance

  • The coefficient of friction can be adjusted to targeted values ranging from 0.06 to 0.20 (ISO 16047) with NOF METAL COATING GROUP’s selected topcoats
  • It can be used with or without topcoat
  • No hydrogen embrittlement
  • Excellent assembly and multi-tightening behavior (with lubricated topcoat)
  • Good mechanical damage (test method D24 1312, USCAR 32) and chemical (test VDA 621-412) resistance
  • Performance maintained at elevated temperatures (up to 300°C)
  • Paintable coating
  • Electrical conductivity for most application processes
  • Bimetallic compatibility with aluminum
