In a car, most of the fasteners are used for assembling plastic components. Various types of plastic screws are used to connect different parts such as the dashboard, headlights, rearview mirrors, doors, and bumper to withstand certain loads.
In terms of consumption of plastic products, the automotive industry ranks third only after the packaging and construction industries.
From the engine to the chassis, and then to the interior and exterior, plastic has replaced traditional materials such as metal and glass, providing the possibility for vehicle weight reduction. The number of plastic parts has reached 50% of the total number of parts in the car, but only 15% of the total weight of the vehicle.
The commonly used thermoplastic materials for automotive parts include PP, ABS, PC, and PA. These parts are constantly subjected to vibration, temperature changes, and high-intensity mechanical loads.
The use of fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic in structural components determines that screws need to meet higher mechanical strength requirements. Choosing the correct plastic screws is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of the connection points throughout the lifespan of the vehicle. With over 50 years of industry experience and support from well-known automotive manufacturers, our products are able to meet various application scenarios and installation needs.
