Applications

2. Reduced Stripping Traditional screws can often strip, especially when dealing with tougher materials. Hex screws minimize this risk, as the shape of the head allows for better engagement with the tool, reducing the chances of slippage. This is a significant advantage for woodworkers aiming for precision and reliability in their projects.

Chemical anchor bolts utilize a resin-based adhesive to bond the bolt to the substrate, typically concrete. This method of anchoring offers several advantages over traditional mechanical anchors. The chemical bonding ensures a high load capacity and allows for a deeper embedment in concrete, which results in superior resistance to pull-out forces. Unlike mechanical anchors that rely solely on friction, chemical anchors distribute loads more evenly and significantly improve the overall performance of the fastening system.

EPDM washered fasteners are specialized fastening solutions that incorporate EPDM washers as sealing components. EPDM is a synthetic rubber renowned for its excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and various chemicals. When integrated with fasteners, EPDM washers enhance the performance of bolted joints by providing effective sealing, reducing the risk of leaks, and accommodating thermal expansion and contraction.
