PTFE Coated Stainless Steel Hexagon Socket Grub/Set Screws, available in sizes ranging from M5 to M16 with lengths between 8mm and 80mm. These high-quality set screws feature a recessed hexagonal socket for easy tightening and loosening with an Allen key. Crafted from premium stainless steel and coated with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), they offer superior corrosion resistance, low friction, and enhanced durability. The PTFE coating provides a non-stick surface and excellent chemical resistance, making these screws ideal for applications in harsh environments, machinery, automotive assembly, and any situation requiring a flush, secure fastening solution.

Metric Size – M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16

Length (mm) – 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated stainless steel combines the desirable properties of both materials to create a versatile and highly functional composite. Here's a brief overview of its properties:

1.     Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel inherently resists corrosion due to its chromium content, while PTFE adds an additional layer of protection, making the material highly resistant to rust, chemicals, and environmental degradation.

2.     Low Friction: PTFE is known for its low coefficient of friction, providing smooth and easy movement. When coated onto stainless steel, it reduces friction between surfaces, preventing wear and enhancing durability.

3.     Chemical Inertness: PTFE is chemically inert and resistant to a wide range of chemicals. When applied to stainless steel, it enhances the material's resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive substances.

4.     Temperature Stability: PTFE exhibits exceptional thermal stability, maintaining its properties over a wide range of temperatures (-200°C to +260°C). When combined with stainless steel, it enhances the material's ability to withstand extreme temperatures without losing its integrity.

5.     Non-Stick Properties: PTFE has excellent non-stick properties, preventing adhesion of substances to its surface. When coated onto stainless steel, it creates a non-stick surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

6.     Electrical Insulation: PTFE is a good electrical insulator, providing resistance to electricity and preventing electrical conductivity. When applied to stainless steel, it enhances the material's electrical insulation properties.

7.     Biocompatibility: PTFE is biocompatible and inert to biological tissues, making it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications. When coated onto stainless steel, it enhances the material's biocompatibility, reducing the risk of adverse reactions in biological systems.

What is a Low Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screw?

A low hex socket-cylinder head cap screw is a type of fastener that combines the features of a socket head cap screw and a low-profile hexagonal socket. It has a cylindrical head with a recessed hexagonal socket and a smooth, rounded top. This design allows the screw to be tightened or loosened using a hex key (Allen key) inserted into the socket. The low-profile socket enables the screw to be installed in tight spaces where clearance may be limited. Low hex socket-cylinder head cap screws are commonly used in machinery, automotive assembly, and electronics, where a secure fastening solution with minimal protrusion is required.
