The use of plastics is gaining importance due to new possible applications. The benefits here, among other things, are in the areas of weight reduction, increased resistance to chemicals and recycling of the components.
Due to its efficient possible assembly, detachability and low-cost procurement, the direct screw connection of plastics with thread-forming metal screws provides advantages in comparison with other connection methods.
In comparison with other screw types, fasteners designed for use in plastics enable higher process reliability due to their smaller flank angle and larger thread pitch.
With the WÜPLAST® product line, Würth Industry is providing its customers with an in-stock assortment of thread-forming metal screws for use in plastics. We manufacture more than 150 different dimensions of these screws, all of which are in accordance with automotive industry standards.
