4. Reduced Vibration and Shock Sensitivity Since they engage with the substrate through adhesive rather than mechanical means, they tend to be less sensitive to vibrations and shock loads.

- Versatility Available in various materials, coatings, and thread designs, hex head self-tapping bolts can be tailored to suit specific applications, including those requiring corrosion resistance or higher tensile strength.

2. Length and Diameter The dimensions of the fasteners should suit the thickness of the chipboard. Generally, fasteners should penetrate at least half the thickness of the material to ensure a secure hold.
