PLASTITE® screw
When to choose PLASTITE® screw?
PLASTITE® TRILOBULAR® thread-rolling screws were developed specifically for use in plastics with a flexural modulus up to 850,000 psi. They combine a unique TRILOBULAR® cross-sectional form with deep, wide, spaced threads.
There are different types of PLASTITE® threads, depending on the requirements of the assembly: PLASTITE® 60, PLASTITE® 45 and PLASTITE® 48-2.
PLASTITE® screws are legacy products and have been superseded by REMFORM® II HS™ screws. We keep inch series in stock and produce as custom-made product.
Benefits
- TRILOBULAR® thread section reduces radial stress and thread forming torque.
- Flat crest lead thread enhances screw alignment and material displacement during thread forming.
- Main feature of PLASTITE® 48-2 screws is the twin-lead thread which increases friction and improves stripping resistance.
