    Useful Information
    GENERAL INFORMATION - PLASTIC FASTENERS
    Plastic fasteners are made of a thermo formed polyamide (thermoplastic) commonly referred to as Nylon. The most common grade is Nylon 6
    (PA 6-6) which offers a wide variety of advantages where low strength and low temperature are permitted. Plastic allows thermal and electrical
    insulation, is rust proof under normal atmospheric conditions, resistant to common solvents, is lighter than aluminum, will not seize or gall even
    though it is self locking, will not become magnetized and can normally be dyed to match surroundings.

    GENERAL INFORMATION - BRASS FASTENERS


    Brass is copper based alloy mixture that offers high electrical conductivity without becoming magnetized. It’s reasonable corrosion resistance and
    acceptance of decorative and/or protective coatings makes it a popular choice is marine, optical, electro mechanical and plumbing industries.
    Grades CU2 and CU3 are not heat treated and have limited strength capabilities. When subject to tensile loads, stress corrosion resulting in
    cracks can occur. Mechanical properties of fasteners are similar to steel grade 4.6, however, impact strength and elongation are lower on grade
    CU2 due to cold working. When corrosion resistance and increased strength is the main objective stainless steel may be a better alternative.
    Grade markings are not required for grades CU2 and CU3 unless mutually agreed.
