Plastic bolts are the ideal solution for fastening applications where the use of metals may cause corrosion or electrical problems. Located in Canton, MA, Electronic Fasteners offers a wide range of bolts made from plastic materials to suit any application. Some of the benefits of these bolts include:
- Resistant to chemicals and corrosion
- Impervious to UV light
- Nonflammable
- Vibration resistance
- Anti-magnetic properties
- Weather resistance, especially water
- The ability to withstand extremely high and low temperatures
- Strong, yet lightweight
- Non-conductive
If you’re a manufacturer or assembly house looking for an alternative to metal bolts because of conductivity, corrosion, or magnetism concerns, consider plastic bolts. We have one of the fastener industry’s largest inventories of bolts made from plastic, which can also be referred to as nylon bolts. Our selection includes metric, specialty, standard, and structural bolts. The added benefit of these bolts is that where metal fasteners could adversely affect the ability of machinery to operate properly or would create the potential for electrical fires, plastic materials provide a safer and more efficient working environment.
Plastic bolts come in a wide range of plastic materials, including ABS, acetal, CPVC, fiberglass G-10, glass-filled nylon, PCTFE, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polysulfone, PPS, PVC, PVDF, and vinyl ester. These bolts can be manufactured to prevent melting under heat or pressure.
Plastic fasteners are often used in critical applications and harsh environments because they are resistant to harsh conditions and plastic can withstand exposure to chemicals, acids, and other corrosive materials without degrading. That’s why plastic is preferred for many products and applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. When considering plastic bolts, consider Electronic Fasteners with 60+ years of experience. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the best plastic bolt for your application.
