PMP Countersunk Screws (DIN 965), available in sizes ranging from M3 to M5 and lengths from 6mm to 25mm, are crafted from Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMP), commonly known as acrylic. These screws feature a countersunk head design, allowing them to sit flush with the surface for a seamless and sleek appearance. PMP is renowned for its excellent optical clarity, making these screws nearly invisible in transparent or semi-transparent materials. Additionally, PMP provides high impact resistance, UV stability, and good chemical resistance, making these screws ideal for applications where durability, aesthetics, and environmental stability are important. The material's low moisture absorption ensures consistent performance in various conditions.

Metric Size (M) – M3, M4, M5

Length (mm) – 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 25

Advantages of Using PMP Countersunk Screws (DIN 965):

Optical Clarity: PMP's transparency ensures that the screws are almost invisible, maintaining the aesthetics of clear or translucent materials.

High Impact Resistance: The material's toughness prevents cracking or breaking under mechanical stress, providing durability.

UV Stability: PMP resists yellowing and degradation from UV exposure, making it suitable for outdoor and sun-exposed applications.

Chemical Resistance: The screws are resistant to various chemicals, including mild acids and alkalis, ensuring longevity in diverse environments.

Low Moisture Absorption: PMP's low moisture absorption helps maintain the screws' clarity and mechanical properties in humid or wet conditions.

Lightweight: The material is significantly lighter than metals, making it easy to handle and reducing the overall weight of assembled products.
