Plastite®

Plastite® screws are part of the Trilobular family of fasteners – thread rolling screws and bolts used to create strong, uniform load carrying internal threads, into untapped nut members upon installation. They are designed with extra wide spacing between narrow profile threads, resulting in exceptionally low induced stress and extra low boss bursting tendencies. This ensures assembly efficiency and performance while lowering the ‘in-place’ fastening costs.

Plastite® was developed specifically for use in plastics. Traditionally, plastics were joined by a self-tapping screw designed for use in sheet metal, never designed for use in plastics. This frequently caused splitting upon tightening and would often loosen during service or strip on assembly.

Plastite® will roll form in soft plastic without causing splitting, the inherant thread locking feature provides full relief for easy driving and effective resistance to vibrational loosening. The space thread design greatly reduces stripping on installation.

Plastite® ensures a fast, cost effective application – the easy starting, easy driving capabilities cut assembly time and costs. The exceptional holding power eliminates the need for costly inserts and lock washers.
