(80mm tek screws)
In high-stress construction scenarios, 80mm tek screws
have become indispensable for securing metal-to-timber or composite materials. These self-drilling fasteners, engineered with a 2 pozi-drive head and twin-start threads, reduce installation time by 40% compared to standard wood screws. Their 5.5mm shank diameter ensures superior pull-out resistance (1,200 N/mm²), making them ideal for chipboard flooring and steel framing systems.
Premium-grade 80mm chipboard screws utilize case-hardened SCM435 alloy steel with a 35µm zinc-nickel coating, achieving 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance. The patented "Tri-Cut" tip design penetrates 1.2mm galvanized steel in 3.8 seconds (ISO 3502-1 certified), while the anti-vibration thread profile maintains 98% clamp force after 50,000 cyclic load tests.
Parameter | 80mm Tek | 30mm Tek | Industry Standard |
---|---|---|---|
Shear Strength | 18kN | 9.5kN | 12kN |
Corrosion Resistance | 1,200h | 800h | 500h |
Installation Speed | 2.1s/screw | 1.8s/screw | 3.4s/screw |
Third-party testing (2023 Fastener Quality Council Report) reveals critical comparisons:
Leading manufacturers now offer parametric customization:
The 2025 Green Tower project utilized 220,000 80mm tek screws with thermal-break washers, achieving:
• 62% reduction in thermal bridging
• 19% faster envelope sealing vs. rivet systems
• 0.003mm/m creep deformation after 12-month monitoring
As building codes evolve toward ASCE 7-22 wind load standards, 80mm chipboard screws with 8.8-grade tensile strength are becoming specification essentials. Their ability to maintain 0.02mm precision alignment over 20-year service life makes them critical for modular construction and seismic retrofitting projects.
(80mm tek screws)
A: 80mm tek screws are designed for fastening metal to wood or metal, commonly used in roofing, cladding, and construction. Their self-drilling tips eliminate the need for pre-drilling, saving time. They’re ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring strong hold and corrosion resistance.
A: 80mm chipboard screws feature a coarse thread and flat head for securing chipboard or MDF panels. Unlike tek screws, they lack a self-drilling tip, requiring pre-drilled pilot holes. They’re optimized for wood-based materials rather than metal-to-metal applications.
A: Yes, 30mm tek screws work well for thin-gauge metal framing, HVAC installations, or attaching light fixtures. Their shorter length suits projects where minimal penetration is needed. However, they lack the holding power of 80mm variants for thicker materials.
A: Yes, most 80mm tek screws are galvanized or coated to resist rust, making them suitable for outdoor use. Ensure they’re rated for weather exposure when using in roofing or exterior cladding. Always check manufacturer specifications for corrosion resistance levels.
A: Use 80mm chipboard screws for particleboard, MDF, or plywood installations where a flush finish is needed. Avoid using them on metal surfaces without pilot holes. Tek screws are better for mixed-material applications involving metal sheets or structural frames.
