Self-tapping screw
The self-tapping screw is an innovative design that cleverly exploits the ductile nature of plastically deformable thermoplastics. Unlike conventional screws, where the thread is created by cutting, with this type of screw the thread is formed without chip removal. This is achieved by a clever deformation of the material.
The continuous molecular chains and the targeted strengthening of the thermoplastic play a decisive role here. These properties and mechanisms produce a thread geometry that is particularly robust and durable. The self-tapping nature of this screw enables high load-bearing capacity and stability in a wide variety of applications and load situations.
