This means that the installation tools and the compressor do not wear out as much and show longer longevity. The binding material arising from this reduces the friction between the fastener and the wooden product during the driving-in process. The Diamond Coating effect is produced by the combination of thermoplastic resins, which melt due to the frictional heat, and expansion elements that are specially geared to the fastener and the wood-based material. During the installation process there is less friction when the fastener is driven, which reduces the required working pressure..Diamond Coating for wood to wood connections 23 September 2015 BECK Fastener Group states that its Diamond Coating surface treatment offers a significant increase of holding power for wood to wood fasteners, as well as having a positive effect on the processing of fasteners – as the drive-in energy required is distinctly reduced. The most striking enhancement of withdrawal values can be observed with Diamond Coated jumbo nails. In-house tests at the BECK Test Centre showed withdrawal values increased by 150% compared to standard coated nails.“Through our specially developed coating equipment we can offer almost all of our fasteners with Diamond Coating,” says Christian Beck, chief commercial officer of BECK Fastener Group.BECK Fastener Group is a family business founded in 1904, which has offices in Austria, Germany, Italy, China and the USA.
