About Thread Forming Screws for Plastics

Thread forming screws are designed specifically for plastics. Rather than cutting, they displace the material to form a mating thread, which lowers the stress in the boss and reduces the risk of cracking. The thread profile gives strong resistance to vibration loosening and allows the joint to be reassembled. Where an insert isn't needed, they're a cost-effective fixing.

Fasteners for Domestic Appliance Manufacturers

White goods and small appliances combine plastic housings, sheet metal panels and a lot of assembly in a short cycle time. Thread forming screws, spring steel fasteners and inserts help keep assembly fast while making sure the product survives years of use,

Choosing the Right Thread Forming Screws for Plastics

Boss diameter, hole size and screw length all affect drive torque and strip torque. Harrison Silverdale can recommend the right screw and pilot hole for your material to keep the joint secure without bursting the boss.
