Material and Coating Options
We use high-quality low-carbon steel wire, cold-headed to precise tolerances. Standard finishes include blue-white zinc, yellow zinc, black phosphate, and other corrosion-resistant coatings. For interior dry environments, these coatings provide adequate protection. For outdoor or high-humidity conditions, we recommend our Stainless Steel Collated Screws instead.
Custom coatings and thread designs are available upon request to meet specific performance or environmental requirements.
Critical Specifications and Performance
- Size Range: Common diameters from #6 to #8 (3.5mm to 4.2mm), lengths from 25mm to 45mm, with custom sizes available.
- Hardness: Controlled to ensure proper thread cutting without brittleness, verified with Rockwell hardness testing.
- Strip Collation: Paper or plastic strips with uniform spacing for smooth feeding; strip length and collation count can be customized.
- Drive Type: Phillips or Pozidriv recess, with options for hex or Torx on request.
Our screws are designed to meet standard indoor load-bearing requirements, providing secure fastening in gypsum board, wood, and light steel applications.
Quality Assurance and Testing
We operate a full-process quality control system, starting with first-piece inspection and continuing through in-process checks and final ex-factory testing. Our laboratory is equipped with metallographic polishing machines and Rockwell hardness testers to verify material structure and hardness consistency. Each batch is documented to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications.
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001, and we also hold ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, reflecting our dedication to environmental and occupational safety standards.
Automation Integration and Tooling
Our collated screws are compatible with standard collated screw guns from major tool manufacturers. We can provide technical guidance on tool setup, including depth adjustment and strip loading, to ensure optimal performance. For automated production lines, we offer consistent strip quality and precise screw positioning to minimize downtime.
We also supply collated screws for specific tools, such as those used in drywall and steel framing applications, and can customize strip design to match your equipment.
Packaging and Logistics
We package collated screws in durable cartons or shrink-wrapped trays, with options for bulk packaging or retail-ready boxes. Our export experience ensures safe transit, with monthly shipments of 40-50 containers to Australia and about 10 containers to Europe and Japan. We can accommodate various packaging requirements to suit your distribution channels.
