Plastic Fastener Materials
What are Plastic Fastener Materials?
Plastic fastener materials offer a combination of lightweight durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulationthat makes them essential for a variety of industries. Unlike metal fasteners, plastic fasteners are non-conductive, resistant to chemicals, and ideal for applications where weight reduction is crucial.
Commonly used in electronics, aerospace, marine, medical, and chemical processing industries, plastic fasteners provide long-lasting performance in environments where metal fasteners may corrode or degrade.
Key Properties
and Advantages
1. LIGHTWEIGHT STRENGTH
Plastic fasteners offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them an excellent alternative to metal fasteners in applications where reducing overall weight is critical.
2. CORROSION AND CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Unlike metal fasteners, plastic fasteners do not rust or corrode, even in harsh environments. They are highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure, making them suitable for outdoor and industrial applications.
3. NON-CONDUCTIVE & NON-MAGNETIC
Plastic fasteners provide excellent electrical insulation, making them the preferred choice for electronic and telecommunications applications where conductivity must be avoided. Additionally, they are non-magnetic, preventing interference in sensitive equipment.
4. VERSATILE FABRICATION
Plastic fasteners are easy to mold into custom shapes and sizes, allowing for highly specialized solutions across multiple industries. They are available in a variety of materials to match specific mechanical and environmental requirements.
