Infastech® developed its Optia® coating, a thin-film, lubricious polymer covering that is applied to a wide range of fasteners, to satisfy five key needs of today's electronics manufacturers:
- Small, reliable fasteners for highly shock resistant products
- Extremely clean screws for internal assembly of small-fast-high capacity disk drives
- Zero defect assembly and manufacturing processes to optimize yield
- Faster assembly through automation and reduced torque-related line failures
- Globally available product
The unique lubricious characteristic of our Optia® coating enables manufacturers to utilize the fasteners full strength by reducing friction between the fastener's surface and the surface of the mating component. Fasteners with Optia® coating offer low particle generation, non-galling properties and significant mechanical advantage in fasteners as small as MO.8 in diameter.
Benefits
- Decreased k factor (torque coefficient or nut factor) compared to uncoated fasteners provides higher clamp force with less seating torque
- Reduced seating torque reduces strip out which enables the use of low profile heads
- 0.5µm Thin layer coating avoids recess fill and does not require fastener tolerance adjustments
- Minimized debris generation
- Compliance with hazardous substances restrictions-RoHS and WEEE
- Meets or exceeds Class 100 Clean Room requirements
