Nutzilla Wins Fastener Innovation Award

Nutzilla SeelnutPeople are going nuts for our new “Nutzilla” product! The largest Seelnut® in our portfolio has shown users across industries that sometimes bigger really is better.  If you need large, self-sealing nuts in your application, Nutzilla is the product for you. After all, these puppies are the size of…well, puppies!

Nutzilla Product Design

Nutzilla benefits from the same innovative design and excellent molding quality as the rest of our Seelnut line of products, so you can expect it to feature the same superior performance. By molding high-quality rubber materials along the contact surface and threaded section, our engineers have developed a method for forming an effective positive seal in virtually any application. 

With sizes up to M90, the proprietary metal-to-rubber bonding processes we use in the single-piece design of Nutzilla guarantees a reliable seal for your large bolts without adding any messy sealants or extra gaskets. This means you gain benefits such as:

  • Exceptional seal integrity
  • A long shelf life of 25 years or more
  • Excellent reusability
  • Optional self-locking pellets
