Thread Forming for Plastic

Thread Forming Screws for Plastic.

PT® Screws

With a high thread profile and recessed thread root, the PT® screw provides increased thread engagement with minimal stress on the boss. It provides optimal performance in a wide range of thermoplastics. They feature a narrow 30° thread profile, optimum thread pitch , a round body and a recessed thread root. These features provide excellent resistance to back-out and pull-out while minimizing boss failure.

REMFORM® Screw

Designed primarily for plastic applications, the REMFORM® Screw is a thread rolling fastener with a unique thread form to provide superior performance in today's wide range of plastics. The asymmetrical thread profile minimizes radial hoop stress to reduce boss bursting. The narrow tip angle also reduces stress in the plastic nut member.

Plastite

How the TRILOBULAR™ family optimizes fastener performance and lowers in-place costs.
PLASTITE® TRILOBULAR™ thread rolling screws were developed specifically for use in plastics. They combine a unique TRILOBULAR™ cross-sectional form with deep, wide, spaced threads.

Easier to drive. Three swaging lobes with full relief of the thread form reduce driving effort and operator fatigue.

More holding power. The three-lobed design of PLASTITE® screws takes full advantage of the cold flow characteristics of many plastics by allowing plastic material to recover and fill in between the lobes. This establishes maximum resistance to vibrational loosening. In addition, the screws’ deep, coarsely-spaced threads provide a heavier shear area and deeper thread engagement in the plastic, further enhancing holding capabilities.

Hi-Low Screws

Hi-lo screws have a reduced minor diameter and therefore displace less plastic material and minimize stress. These screws have a double lead high and low thread with the high thread having a 30 degree thread form that further minimizes material displacement while providing positive thread engagement. Hi-lo screws are tapping screws and therefore normally require a preformed hole to be properly employed.
