Lubricating bolted joints is an effective method of reducing friction, the risk of galling, torsional stress and clamp load deviation. Using a lubricant also improves reusability of fasteners and protects against corrosion.
NORD-LOCK recommends the use of a good lubricant whenever possible. As NORD-LOCK washers lock by tension instead of friction, the locking function is not affected by lubrication.
NORD-LOCK’s in house testing laboratories perform a wide range of tests every year for internal studies or on behalf of our customers. We have found that GTP600 provides all the benefits you would expect from a lubricant even during long-term use in harsh environments.
