Applications in Construction

1. Toggle Bolts These consist of a bolt and a pair of wings that open up inside the wall. When you insert the bolt, the wings expand and grip the back of the wall, providing a strong hold. Toggle bolts are excellent for heavier items, making them suitable for mounting shelves or large picture frames.

In automotive applications, metal expansion nuts are utilized in securing engine components and exhaust systems, where high temperatures can lead to expansion. Their reliability ensures that parts remain firmly attached, reducing the risk of failure.

2. Chemical Resistance EPDM exhibits remarkable resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and alcohols. This makes EPDM washered fasteners suitable for use in environments where they may be exposed to harsh substances, such as in the automotive or chemical processing industries.
