Thread-forming fastener for thermoplastic materials(10/10/2011)
Infastech has introduced a new thread-forming fastener for thermoplastic materials. Aptino (Advanced plastic threadform innovation) is the latest new product from Infastech’s iForm brand, and the steep pitch of its trailing flank is designed to reduce radial thread-forming stress in thermoplastic moulded bosses/nut member applications. The Aptino thread profile enhances resistance to pull-out and vibration loosening forces associated with typical field use.
