Has anyone had experience with the use of Xyland coating on A325 or A490 bolts. It appears to be a corrosion resistance coating similar to Teflon. My concern is the possibility of the nuts loosening over time. The manufacturers website indicates that a better, more accurate torqueing value is applied due to the reduced friction.
