Details
- These Forgefix Phillips, single thread Drywall Screws have a black phosphate finish for increased durability
- Their Bugle Head allows the screw to sink effortlessly into the dry lining without the need for countersinking, which in turn minimises the damage to the surface
Application
- Designed for fitting dry linings to studding
- Phosphate coatings are made up of thin crystalline layers of phosphate compounds that adhere to the surface of the fixing or fastener
- The phosphate crystals are porous and can be formed from zinc, manganese, or iron phosphate solutions
- Phosphate coatings offer good corrosion resistance and have an excellent ability to absorb supplementary coatings which improves appearance, corrosion resistance and resistance to abrasion
- The Phillips screw has four simple tapered slots. It is designed so that a Phillips tip screwdriver can turn a Phillips screw with increasing torque
- When the torque gets to be too strong for the tip then the screwdriver tip winds itself out of the screw thus preventing over-tightening and or damage to the screw head
- Coarse thread screws (mainly drywall screws) have an extremely sharp point and are designed to penetrate plasterboard skin
- The coarse thread eases in to the board then the timber baton holding the board firm
