Fast-Rite International Unveils Rite-Shield™: Next-Level Corrosion Protection for Metal Products

Glendale Heights, IL, March 15, 2024 — Fast-Rite International, a pioneer in providing innovative solutions for industrial fasteners and metal products, proudly introduces Rite-Shield™, a revolutionary Multi-Layer DIP Spin coating engineered to combat corrosion in outdoor environments.

As the OEM OPTIMIZER™, Fast-Rite International specializes in driving component cost savings through custom-engineered solutions while optimizing spend management. With extensive knowledge and experience, they enhance the performance, efficiency, and profitability of OEM operations and products.

Rite-Shield™ features several key innovations, including its DIP SPIN APPLICATION method and WATER-BASED CHEMISTRY, ensuring both efficiency and environmental friendliness. While Rite-Shield does not entirely eliminate HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT, it effectively reduces the risk by mitigating the infusion of hydrogen atoms into the base metal, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the treated metal. Rite-Shield™ has demonstrated a success rate of less than 1% of HE-induced failures, making it a reliable choice for corrosion protection.

One of Rite-Shield’s™ remarkable attributes is its capability to address a WIDE RANGE OF COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION, providing tailored solutions for diverse applications. Its consistent performance even under elevated temperatures ensures reliable protection against corrosion and UV damage. While UV coating is not standard, it can be added as per customer requirements.

With a proven track record, Rite-Shield™ surpasses industry standards, offering 2000 hours of resistance to white rust per ASTM B117 and ASTM D5894-21 testing protocols. Moreover, it fully COMPLIES WITH REACH, ROHS, and all CE DIRECTIVES, emphasizing Fast-Rite International’s commitment to quality and regulatory compliance.

“We’re thrilled to introduce Rite-Shield™ to the market,” said Matt Sulimowski, Director of Operations at Fast-Rite International. “With its advanced formulation and exceptional performance, Rite-Shield™ sets a new standard for corrosion protection in outdoor environments. We’re confident that this innovative solution will deliver unmatched value to our customers.”
