Exceptional Performance and Versatility.. the Polyfast® Way

Polyfast® fasteners are unique thread designs which provide exceptional performance in both plastic and particle board applications. The asymmetrical thread form and low root diameter provide lower installation torque and very efficient fastening. In plastics, this thread design minimizes radial stresses and excessive material displacement, which increases the potential for material cracking. The wide spaced threads of the Polyfast® design allow for additional material to flow between the threads, resulting in higher resistance to pullout forces.

Design & Performance

  • Slim root diameter and low angle of thread reduces installation (drive) torque required.
  • Minimizes radial stresses generated during thread forming.
  • Asymmetrical thread form efficiently maintains clamp load, while minimizing the radial stresses generated.
  • High thread profile and unique thread form provide greater surface area on the thread flank for load distribution.
  • Large pitch and high thread profile maximizes resistance to pull-out forces.
  • Round body design eliminates areas of high stress relative to the fasteners overall cross-section.
  • Gimlet point designs provide unique fade out thread for optimum starting of the fastener.
