Thread Masking, Product ID & More.
Overview
The rest of the Bradley portfolio. Everything beyond thread locking and thread sealing — thread masking, product identification, Plastisol head seals, anti-seize, and retaining compounds. One vendor, one process, one shipment.

Three jobs, one vendor.
The specialty portfolio groups into three jobs. Most programs use one; some combine all three on the same fastener.
A · IDENTIFY
Product Identification
Color marking on the head or tip of a fastener — so grades, lots, and special-handling parts do not get mixed on the line or in the field.
B · MASK
Thread Masking
Pre-applied masking that protects threads from weld spatter, paint, and powder-coat overspray — and reduces friction to ease installation.
C · PROTECT & RETAIN
Seal, Anti-Seize & Retain
Plastisol head seals that replace O-rings, dry anti-seize that stops galling, and retainers that hold components in position through assembly.
Every specialty SKU we coat to.
All products are applied to your customer-supplied fasteners and components on standard 1–2 week lead times. MSDS and technical data sheets are available on request.
Painted Head & Tip ID
Bradley can add an identification color to the head or tip of your parts, helping ensure they do not get mixed on the line or in the field. Standard or custom-matched colors available. Applied to customer-supplied fasteners alongside any thread coating in a single pass.

Plastisol Under-Head Coating
When applied under the head of fasteners, Plastisol provides a positive seal that eliminates leaks. It also cushions, insulates, reduces noise, and reduces vibration — replacing O-rings and nylon washers in many sealing applications.

Black
LAKESIDE PLASTICS PLASTISOL · UNDER-HEAD SEAL · BLACK Plastisol Black PVC plastisol pre-applied under the fastener head — heat-cured in production and ready to install. On tightening, the pad compresses against the mating surface like a gasket, eliminating under-head leaks and sealing out moisture, dust, and gases. Also cushions the joint, insulates dissimilar metals, and …
Pre-Applied Anti-Seize
A dry-to-the-touch anti-galling thread coating that prevents galling and corrosion of metals — especially stainless steel and aluminum fasteners in high-temperature or corrosive service. No paste, no drips, no mess at the assembly cell.

ANTI-GALLING
DRY-TO-TOUCH
Loctite Anti-Seize Pre-Applied
Dry to the touch, anti-galling, thread lubricant.
Tec-Stay 592
A pre-applied fastener and component retainer — holds parts in position through handling and assembly until final fastening. Designed for vertical or upside-down assembly operations where gravity works against the build sequence.

Tec-Stay Yellow
Tec-Stay yellow is a fastener and component retainer product used primarily for assembly and retaining purposes
Tec-Flon
A thread-masking material specially designed for fasteners and components going into downstream coating operations. Masks threads from weld spatter, paint, and powder-coat overspray — and reduces installation friction to ease fastener engagement after coating.

Tell us the job — we’ll point you to the right specialty coating.
The specialty portfolio is broad, and many programs combine more than one of these products on the same part. If you can describe what the coating has to do, the engineering desk can spec it — usually the same business day.
WHEN YOU REACH OUT, INCLUDE
- Fastener or component — type, size, and material.
- The job — identify, mask, seal, anti-seize, or retain.
- Downstream process — welding, painting, or powder coat after coating?
- Service environment — temperature, fluids, corrosion exposure.
- OEM or internal spec on the print, if any.
- Volume & cadence — annual qty and reorder frequency.
