A polymer-coated metal fastener is provided which has both improved ease of drive into a substrate, and improved resistance to withdrawal from the substrate. The coated fastener is prepared by heating a metal fastener or a , portion of, it, to about 400-2000°F and cooling in an aqueous medium containing an acrylic or, modified acrylic polymer. The rapid cooling causes formation of a thin yet durable, polymer coating on the fastener.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 14, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 14, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 14, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
