EJOT’s Industrial Engineering fastener range is highly engineered to meet the structural demands of modern manufacturing, specifically providing advanced self-threading screws for plastic. For design engineers, opting to screw into plastic using these dedicated systems eliminates the cost and complexity of inserts. The product line focuses on precision engineering, moving far beyond standard tapping screws for plastic to provide highly specialised mechanical joints.
A cornerstone of EJOT’s portfolio is the pioneering PT screws for thermoplastics (and its successor, the EVO PT®), alongside plastite thread forming screws designed to optimise material displacement. These thread-forming screws for plastics utilise a unique geometry that boasts a narrow flank angle. This design significantly minimises radial stress, which prevents boss bursting and allows engineers to safely specify thread forming screws for thin plastic applications.
Engineering Advantages
The range includes robust stainless steel screws for plastic applications requiring severe corrosion resistance, as well as highly specialised plastic screws for cars, where lightweighting and high load capacity are paramount. From thermoplastic screws built for glass-filled polymers to highly adapted metric thread-forming screws for plastic, the portfolio covers all bases. Utilising these specialised self-tapping screws in plastic allows design engineers to reduce overall component weight, shorten injection moulding cycle times, and achieve predictable, high-preload force retention over the assembly's entire service life.

Engineering Advantages
- Optimal Flow: The signature plastite thread and PT design allow for maximum material flow with minimum friction.
- Reduced Friction: By leveraging thread rolling screws for plastic, installation torque remains low while stripping torque is dramatically maximised.
- Material Integrity: Unlike aggressive thread-cutting screws for plastic that slice and weaken the substrate, EJOT's solutions utilise cold-form techniques to retain material integrity.
