Polypropylene Machine Screw, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, #6-32, 1-1/4" Length (Pack of 100) Reviews
Polypropylene Machine Screw, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, #6-32, 1-1/4" Length (Pack of 100) Feature
- Machine Screws are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes
- Polypropylene is suitable for applications where resistance to chemicals and water (including steam) is important
- Pan head allows for higher tightening torques
- Phillips drive is designed to cam out under too much torque
- Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic which is autoclavable (meaning that it can be sterilized using steam), and is non-hydroscopic (it won't absorb water even after extended periods of contact). Polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance to dilute acids, concentrated acids (except oxidizing acids), alkalis, alcohols, detergents, and water. Polypropylene resists aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, greases, and oils at room temperature. Maximum operating temperature is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Polypropylene has a low co-efficient of friction and a high dielectric strength (meaning it operates well as an insulator). Polypropylene has approximately half the tensile strength and impact strength of Nylon 6/6. The tensile strength of Polypropylene is 5000 psi (pounds per square inch). Impact Strength, as measured by the Izod impact test method (which measures force required to break material) is 0.5 pounds per foot.
Pan head fasteners have a low, large cylindrical head with a high rounded top edge for higher tightening torques - these fasteners are often recommended to replace older head styles such as round, binding, or truss-head where possible. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.
A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
