Advantages of Electrolytically Galvanized Steel

Electrolytic galvanization of the steel provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion, extending the lifespan of the screw. This makes the screw suitable for applications where moisture and other corrosive elements are present.

Use and Installation

For optimal fastening, it is recommended to pre-drill the sheet material. This facilitates screwing in and reduces the risk of damaging the material. The PH2 drive ensures a firm grip during screwing, making the installation process more efficient.

Areas of Application

These sheet metal screws are widely used in the automotive sector, but are also suitable for various industrial applications where reliable fastening in sheet material is required.
