Stainless steel elements from GLEITMO
GLEITMO These are specialized lubricating coatings and assembly pastes used on stainless steel fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts, and washers. Once applied, they create a thin, durable lubricating layer that reduces friction between threads and contact surfaces, improves torque control, and prevents seizing and binding, which is particularly important during assembly and subsequent servicing.
Key benefits: Stainless steel components from GLEITMO
▹ Reduced friction during assembly – easier tightening and unscrewing of elements, especially stainless steel, which naturally has greater friction resistance.
▹Reduced thread locking – the lubricating coating prevents the threads from “sticking”, especially during frequent disassembly.
▹Better corrosion protection – the dry layer protects against oxidation and corrosion in difficult environments (moisture, chemicals, temperature).
▹Stability of connection parameters – greater repeatability of tightening torques and lower risk of damage to components.

Application and compatibility
GLEITMO coated components (bolts, nuts, screws, washers) are preferred in applications where the following are important:
-
automotive and machinery industry,
-
steel structures and precise assembly,
-
installations exposed to corrosion or high temperatures,
-
servicing and repairs with frequent unscrewing,
-
applications with stainless steel elements and high-friction threads.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GLEITMO coating affect the tightening torque of the screws?
Yes - it lowers and stabilizes the friction coefficient, so a lower and more repeatable tightening torque is needed to achieve the same clamping force than with uncoated components.
Do stainless steel elements from GLEITMO have the same strength parameters as standard ones?
Yes - the coating does not change the strength class or mechanical properties of the element, but only affects surface friction and installation comfort.
Where is it best to use GLEITMO coated stainless steel elements?
Recommended for use in applications exposed to corrosion, high temperatures or frequent assembly and disassembly, e.g. in industry, steel structures, outdoor installations and technical service.
