These DIN 985 lock nuts are hex nuts with a blue nylon ring set into the top face, so the bolt thread cuts its own path through the insert and stays gripped. That interference fit separates them from a plain nut: the nylon recovers elastically and keeps a prevailing torque on the thread even after the joint settles. As nylon insert lock nuts, they need no adhesive and no second nut, so assembly handles one part. The zinc plated nyloc nuts here cover M8 to M16 in a blue-white finish for indoor and covered outdoor work. Because the insert is nylon, temperature and chemicals set the limit rather than the steel. Coating, insert colour, marking and packing can be customized.
