The Ultimate Firearm Upgrade: NT7® Performance Coating
Table of Contents
When it comes to maintaining peak performance in your firearms, the importance of surface treatment can’t be overstated. For anyone who relies on a firearm—whether for duty, self-defense, hunting, or shooting sports— they know that reliability, durability, and performance are non-negotiable. Your firearm must be ready to perform flawlessly, regardless of the environment or or amount of time it has been in its holster.
That’s where NT7® makes all the difference. NT7® is the next-generation thin film performance coating developed by Wright Armory. NT7® provides unparalleled abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, self-lubricating characteristics, and non-stick properties, ensuring your firearm is always ready when it matters most.
NT7® & Metal Finishing
What is NT7®?
NT7® is a composite of Electroless Nickel and sub-micron sized particles of PTFE (Teflon®) that can be applied to Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminum alloys. NT7® has a non-reflective medium gray appearance, somewhat similar to that of bead-blasted stainless steel or titanium.
The application of NT7® is an auto-catalytic or electroless process, which is preferable to standard electrolytic plating as all active surfaces are plated with a uniform thickness which is crucial when working with the tight tolerances common in firearms industry.
With the sub-micron sized PTFE particles evenly distributed and locked into the nickel-phosphorus matrix, NT7® is a true composite coating. If wear occurs, fresh particles of PTFE are exposed to keep the opposing surfaces lubricated throughout the life of the coating, which produces a true dry film self-lubricating finish.
Why Do I Care?
In simple terms, NT7® is a high-performance Nickel Teflon coating that boasts excellent corrosion resistance to protect your gear in the harshest of conditions. NT7® has an extremely low coefficient of friction to keep your gear running smoother for longer, it has self-lubricating properties so you need minimal lube, if any at all. The PTFE gives NT7® non-stick properties that make cleaning a breeze and the Nickel in NT7® gives it excellent abrasion resistance to stand up to the arch nemesis of all carry guns, holster wear.
What is NT7® Plus?
While NT7® already offers outstanding protection, NT7® Plus is the Ultimate Performance Coating bringing an additional level of protection for those who need the highest level of corrosion resistance. NT7® Plus offers the same excellent self-lubricating, nonstick, and abrasion-resistant properties as NT7®, but with nearly 4x the corrosion resistance. This makes NT7® Plus the only choice for those operating in extremely harsh or wet environments, providing protection that exceeds 1000 hours of salt spray testing—an impressive feat exceeding that of Nickel Boron by almost 7x.
