REMFORM®
Innovative fastening system for plastics
Plastic: a versatile material
In our increasingly complex world, we can hardly imagine what it would be like without plastics. Nowadays, we come across plastics in use where just a few years ago only metals were to be found. Moreover, the material properties of the latest plastics and state of the art production technologies allow us to implement designs that could not be achieved in metal. With plastics, we can integrate the widest variety of processes and functions into a single component, and manufacture that component in a single production step. However, at some point in the design process, we arrive at the point where the manufactured component needs to be connected to the greater whole. When you designed your component, if you answered "yes" to the questions about whether the fastening needs to be detachable, or whether a defined pre-load force was required, there's no getting round the need for a screw fastening.
Affordable and reliable fastening
Our response to the requirement for a well-priced and reliable connection is direct plastic screw fastenings under the REMFORM® and REMFORM® II™ HS brands. The thread-forming screw with its asymmetric thread profile, which is screwed into pre-formed holes, is realised in a type of assembly that is cost effective, recyclable and which can be undone.
