High-Performance Plastic Hex Bolts for Chemical and Thermal Applications

Hex bolts made from engineering plastics offer decisive advantages over metallic fastening elements: They are corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic and significantly lighter. These properties make them the optimal choice for demanding applications in chemical technology, process engineering and medical technology.

Polyamide (PA) hex bolts according to DIN 931 and DIN 933 are suitable for temperature ranges from -30°C to +120°C. The material convinces with excellent heat resistance, best insulating properties and high chemical resistance. PA bolts are preferably used in electrical engineering and apparatus construction.

Polypropylene (PP) fastening elements according to DIN ISO 933 are designed for temperatures from -15°C to +120°C and comply with fire class UL 94 V-2. They are characterized by very good dielectric properties and high aging resistance.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) bolts according to DIN EN ISO 24017 and DIN 933 offer the highest performance with a temperature range from -60°C to +150°C. The fluoroplastic exhibits highest chemical resistance, mechanical strength and radiation resistance. These properties predestine PVDF bolts for use in the pharmaceutical industry, petrochemicals and food industry.

The product range includes:

Hex bolt (DIN 931) made from PA - with shank
Hex bolt (DIN 933) made from PA
Hex bolt (DIN 933) made from PA - with slot
Hex bolt (DIN 933) made from PP
Hex bolt (DIN 933) made from PVDF
Hex bolt made from ceramic
Hex bolt made from PA - with flange and internal hex socket
Hex bolt made from PEEK

All variants are available in various thread sizes and dimensions and ensure reliable fastening while maintaining resistance to aggressive media.

Hex bolts made from engineering plastics and other products, such as flat head screws, countersunk screws and cylinder screws, are available directly in the online shop of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik. The range of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik offers over 80,000 different products, which are used among others in mechanical engineering, chemical technology, process engineering as well as medical technology.
