C & C Supply, LLC provides in-house PTFE coating for studs, nuts, and bolts at our facility in Casper, Wyoming. This specialized capability gives customers a regional option for coated fasteners used in demanding industrial and oilfield environments.


PTFE coatings—often referred to by the Teflon™ brand name—can provide a low-friction surface and help improve resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, depending on the coating system and application. Coating selection should be matched to the fastener, service conditions, and project requirements.


With this work handled in-house, C & C Supply, LLC can coordinate your fastener and coating requirements directly with you.

WHY PTFE-COATED FASTENERS?


When specified for the application, PTFE coatings can offer several useful properties for threaded fasteners.


  • Lower Friction: Helps provide more consistent thread engagement and installation behavior when properly specified.
  • Corrosion Protection: Can provide a barrier against certain corrosive environments, depending on the coating system and service conditions.
  • Chemical Resistance: PTFE offers broad chemical resistance, but the complete coating system must be evaluated for the intended application.
  • Regional In-House Capability: Coating is performed by C&C Supply in Casper, Wyoming.


Friction changes can affect preload and torque-tension relationships. Always follow the engineering specifications and approved installation procedures for coated fastener assemblies.

  • What are Teflon-coated studs used for?

    Teflon-coated studs are commonly used in demanding applications where reduced friction, corrosion protection, and chemical resistance are important. These applications may include marine operations, petrochemical plants, refineries, pipelines, and steam systems.


    They are often used with fastener specifications such as ASTM A193 Grade B7 studs and ASTM A194 Grade 2H nuts, depending on project requirements.

  • What is a Teflon-coated stud?

    A Teflon-coated stud is a threaded fastener, typically made from high-strength carbon or alloy steel, that has been treated with a fluoropolymer coating such as PTFE or a specialized coating system like Xylan.


    • The coating provides additional surface properties that can improve performance in demanding operating environments.
    • Core Material: Typically high-strength carbon or alloy steel, such as ASTM A193 Grade B7.

    Coating: A fluoropolymer-based coating designed to provide properties such as reduced friction and corrosion protection.

  • What are the main benefits of Teflon-coated studs?

    Teflon-coated studs offer several potential benefits depending on the coating system and application.


    • Low Friction: Helps reduce friction between threaded surfaces and supports more consistent torque and preload when properly specified.
    • Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: Can help protect fasteners against rust and exposure to certain corrosive chemicals in marine, oil and gas, and chemical processing environments.
    • Anti-Galling Properties: Helps reduce the risk of mating metal threads seizing during assembly and disassembly.
