Nylon Bolts Hex Plastic Fasteners Internal External Threaded Screws

The nylon bolts are made of PP/PE/UHMW-PE etc. It is a form of threaded fastener with pitch external male thread in the metric system. Bolts are thus closely related to, and often confused with, screws. The distinction between a bolt and a screw is unclear and commonly misunderstood. There are several practical differences, but most have some degree of overlap between bolts and screws. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

The defining distinction, per Machinery’s Handbook, is in their intended purpose: Bolts are for the assembly of two unthreaded components, with the aid of a nut. Screws in contrast are used with components, at least one of which contains its own internal thread, which even may be formed by the installation of the screw itself. Many threaded fasteners can be described as either screws or bolts, depending on how they are used.

Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, more specifically aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. They can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes. The first example of nylon (nylon 6,6) was produced on February 28, 1935, by Wallace Carothers at DuPont’s research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station. Nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fibers (apparel, flooring, and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films (mostly for food packaging). Use these Nylon Spacers with bolts and screws to maintain space between the head and the surface. These spacers are constructed from durable nylon material. Nylon helps with vibration and corrosion resistance. After the initial commercialization of nylon as a fiber, applications in the form of shapes and films were also developed. The main market for nylon shapes now is in auto components, but there are many others.
