Plastic & Nylon Screws

 (17 product groups)

Plastic nylon screws tend to be a huge favourite with manufacturers due to the advantages in which nylon and its properties offer. Nylon screws and fasteners are used across an extensive range of applications and environments where the use of metal is not safe.

Screw head styles & screw types in our range:

Often names of head types and screws are used interchangeably, see below for a list of just some of the nylon screws we offer in our range:

What are the benefits of Nylon:

It is resistant to wear, corrosion and abrasion

It has high tensile and compressive strength

It makes for easy machining and suits customized product design

It contains a high amount of insulation and resistance to corrosion.

Nylon is a lighter, stronger material compared to materials such as aluminum

We also stock a large range of nylon washers, nylon nuts and other nylon fasteners. For more information about Nylon fasteners in general, visit our Difference between Nylon & Nylon 66 Guide.
