1. Weather Resistance One of the standout features of EPDM is its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. EPDM washered fasteners perform exceptionally well in outdoor applications where exposure to rain, sunlight, and fluctuating temperatures is unavoidable. This durability translates into fewer maintenance requirements and longer service life for structures and equipment.

2. Slab Thickness The thickness of the concrete slab affects the length of the shear studs. A thicker slab will necessitate longer studs to ensure that they are adequately embedded within the concrete.

5. Versatility Beyond chipboard, these screws can also be utilized in various materials, including plywood, MDF, and even softer woods, making them an essential tool in any carpenter’s or DIY enthusiast's toolkit.
