Who Can Supply Screws for Thermoplastics?

The short answer to who can supply screws for thermoplastics is Harrison Silverdale, a fastener specialist near Sheffield trading since 1982. Its core range covers fasteners for plastics, composites and sheet metal, with special parts developed in-house.

About Screws for Plastic

Standard machine screws and self tappers aren't designed for plastic. They can burst bosses, strip out or work loose. Screws for plastic use a thread angle and pitch suited to thermoplastics, so they drive with lower torque, hold with higher strip torque and keep their clamp load in service.

Choosing the Right Screws for Plastic

Boss design matters as much as the screw. Harrison Silverdale can advise on hole sizes and screw selection to get the best result from the material you're moulding.

Typical Applications

• Plastic enclosures and lids
