Nylon Thumb Screws Knurled Head Plain Finish White Plastic Metric

The nylon thumb screws are generally used where light and insulation are needed. 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. Ever Hardware provides custom-made nylon thumb screws and customizable packaging.

Knurling is a manufacturing process, typically conducted on a lathe, whereby a pattern of straight, angled, or crossed lines is cut or rolled into the material. The operation is performed for producing indentations on a part of a workpiece. Knurling allows hands or fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the originally smooth metal surface. Occasionally, the knurled pattern is a series of straight ridges or a helix of “straight” ridges rather than the more-usual criss-cross pattern.

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.
