Description
The Specialist Plastic Assembly Screw
Standard screws create severe outward expansion pressure that frequently splits plastic. The Polyplast 30 features a sharp 30° thread flank angle that drastically reduces radial forces during thread engagement. This minimizes hoop stress in the surrounding plastic, giving you the practical advantage of a tight, split-free fit even in thin-walled or lightweight bosses.
Recessed Core for Jam-Free Flow
Forcing displaced material into tight thread pitches often causes friction, jamming, and stripped screw heads. The specialized recessed core geometry acts as a built-in flow director for displaced plastic. It guides the material smoothly to fill the screw's pitch uniformly without jamming, allowing for lower installation torque and smoother driving on manual or automated lines.
Superior Pull-Out and Shear Strength
Weak thread engagement in soft plastic leads to loose components and field failures under vibration. By encouraging a complete, uniform material flow into the thread profile, the Polyplast 30 engages the maximum possible volume of plastic. This creates exceptional shear loads and high pull-out resistance, ensuring internal components and circuit boards remain permanently secured.
Torx Drive Efficiency
Cam-out and rounded screw heads waste time and damage delicate plastic housings during assembly. The Torx pan head drive transfers rotational torque with maximum efficiency, preventing bit slippage, reducing operator fatigue, and allowing for precise torque control when using power drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 30° flank angle better than a standard 60° angle for plastic?
Why is a 30° flank angle better than a standard 60° angle for plastic?
Standard screws typically have a 60° flank angle, which acts like a wedge, pushing outwards against the plastic walls and causing boss cracking. The narrower 30° flank angle penetrates the plastic with far less outward radial force, allowing for thinner boss walls without splitting.
Does this screw require a pre-tapped thread in the plastic boss?
Does this screw require a pre-tapped thread in the plastic boss?
No. The Polyplast 30 is a thread-forming fastener designed to form its own precise female thread as it is driven into a plain molded pilot hole, saving time and eliminating extra tapping steps during production.
What does the recessed core geometry do?
What does the recessed core geometry do?
As the screw forms threads, displaced plastic has to go somewhere. The recessed core provides a guided channel that directs plastic smoothly into the screw's pitch rather than packing it tight, preventing thread jamming and ensuring maximum material contact.
