Opticore

EJOT UK's range of Opticore self-drilling fasteners represents an advanced solution for attaching construction components, particularly in demanding facade and roofing applications. These fasteners are engineered to offer a single-step installation process, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and significantly streamlining assembly time on site.

Key Features & Technology
The core innovation of the Opticore range lies in its specially designed drill-point and thread geometry. The self-drilling tip is precision-formed to efficiently pierce and clear material, creating the necessary hole while the fastener is driven. This process results in a secure, reliable connection that resists loosening under dynamic loads.

Opticore fasteners are available in various materials and coatings, such as bi-metal stainless steel with a case-hardened carbon steel drill point and lead threads welded onto the stainless-steel fastener (A2/A4 quality) and corrosion-resistant coatings. Making them suitable for exposure to diverse environmental conditions, including those with high levels of atmospheric pollution or moisture. This robustness ensures long-term structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, which is crucial for maintaining the performance and aesthetics of modern building envelopes. The range offers options tailored for fixing components like metal cladding, sandwich panels, and profiled sheets to steel or aluminium substructures.
