Glossary: plastic screw

A plastic screw is a fastening or assembly screw. At Ajile, it is made from polyamide (nylon) and offers significant advantages for many professionals. Like screws made from other materials, plastic screws are available in various types.

Polyamide plastic screws

Nylon screws are commonly used by professionals such as electricians, plumbers, construction workers, mechanics, garage technicians and model makers. The polyamide used to manufacture these screws is electrically insulating and resistant to corrosion and chemical agents, making it an excellent solution for fastening and assembling components in these fields.

Round head plastic screw

The round head plastic screw offers a flat bearing surface and can be easily adjusted thanks to better grip. It is generally used for fastening objects when a large contact surface is required.

Hex head plastic screw

With a hex head nylon screw, a higher tightening torque can be applied using a wrench. The contact surface is similar to that of a round head screw, but tightening is stronger, making it suitable for solid supports.

Countersunk plastic screw

The countersunk head screw is the most commonly used. It sits flush with the surface, ensuring maximum discretion and safety. Its angled head allows full tightening.

There are many other types of nylon screws. These are the most common and are available for online purchase on the ajile.biz website.

Headless nylon screws, knurled head screws and wing head screws are also available.
