Torx Flanged PT45 Screws are design for use with hard plastic and are available in Zinc Plated Steel (Silver + Black) as well as Stainless Steel. The Torx drive is the most commonly available drive, and the flanged head is better as spreading stress over a wider area. PT45 threads are designed for good performance in harder plastics, or plastics featuring fibre reinforcement. The PT45 thread is trilobular and at a 45 degree angle. To find out more about the PT45 and Trilobular threads, see our Engineering Guide.

Our screws for plastics are all available in three materials:

• Bright Zinc Plated Steel – This is the most commonly used and standard finish as it's economical and suitable for the majority of applications, featuring a bright metallic silver colour.
• Black Zinc Plated Steel – This finish is mechanically identical to the silver colour zinc. They are commonly used for their aesthetic purposes, in industries such as automotive interiors, PC or computer server building or retail displays.
• A2 Stainless Steel – This material has the highest corrosion resistance, usable in industries such as petrol / chemical applications, outdoor applications as well as food / catering.

These fasteners have a Flanged head but are available in Pan or Countersunk. These Screws for Plastic come with a Pozi drive, but are available with a Pozi drive.
