PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912), available in sizes ranging from M3 to M12 and lengths from 5mm to 40mm, are manufactured from Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMP), commonly known as acrylic. These screws feature a hex socket drive and a cylindrical head, providing secure fastening with a clean and precise aesthetic. PMP is characterised by its excellent optical clarity, high impact resistance, and UV stability, making these screws ideal for applications where transparency and durability are crucial. Additionally, PMP offers good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption, ensuring the screws maintain their integrity in various environments.

Metric Size (M) – M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12

Length (mm) – 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

Advantages of Using PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912):

Optical Clarity: The transparency of PMP makes these screws ideal for applications where visual appeal and visibility are important.

High Impact Resistance: PMP offers excellent toughness, allowing the screws to withstand impacts without cracking or breaking.

UV Stability: The material is resistant to UV radiation, preventing yellowing and degradation over time, which is essential for outdoor applications.

Chemical Resistance: PMP screws resist a range of chemicals, including mild acids and alkalis, ensuring durability in chemically aggressive environments.

Low Moisture Absorption: The low moisture absorption rate helps maintain the screws' mechanical properties and clarity in humid or wet conditions.

Lightweight: The screws are significantly lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to handle and reducing the overall weight of assemblies.

Specific Applications of PMP Hex Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (DIN 912):

Electronics and Display Panels:

Used in securing components within transparent or semi-transparent electronic enclosures, where the clarity and non-conductive properties are beneficial.

Ideal for fastening display panels and screens in electronic devices, including monitors and advertising displays.

Architectural and Interior Design:

Applied in the assembly of transparent fixtures and fittings, providing an unobtrusive fastening solution that enhances the overall aesthetic.

Suitable for use in glass or acrylic structures, where visibility and a clean appearance are important.

Lighting Fixtures:

Employed in both indoor and outdoor lighting systems, where UV stability and transparency contribute to the design and longevity of the installation.

Ideal for use in decorative lighting where the fasteners are visible and should not detract from the design.

Automotive and Transportation:

Used in securing transparent components in vehicles, such as instrument clusters and display panels, where impact resistance and aesthetic appeal are important.

Suitable for interior applications where lightweight and clear fasteners are desirable.

Medical Devices and Equipment:

Utilised in medical devices that require clear components for monitoring and inspection, such as in diagnostic equipment.

Ideal for securing transparent housings or enclosures for medical instruments, ensuring durability and clarity.

PMP Key Properties

Polymethylpentene (PMP) is highly valued for its exceptional transparency and low density, making it an ideal material for applications where clarity and lightweight properties are essential. PMP is one of the most transparent thermoplastics available, offering optical clarity that rivals glass. This makes it an excellent choice for applications such as medical devices, laboratory equipment, and food packaging, where visibility of the contents or components is important. Additionally, PMP’s low density contributes to its lightweight nature, which is beneficial in reducing the overall weight of products and improving ease of handling.
PMP also boasts excellent chemical and thermal resistance, making it suitable for use in environments where exposure to aggressive substances and high temperatures is common. PMP is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, which ensures that it does not degrade or lose its properties when in contact with these substances. Moreover, PMP can withstand elevated temperatures without significant loss of strength or dimensional stability, making it ideal for use in applications such as chemical processing, food sterilisation, and medical autoclaving, where both chemical exposure and high temperatures are factors.
Another key property of Polymethylpentene (PMP) is its low moisture absorption and excellent electrical insulation properties. PMP absorbs minimal moisture from the environment, which helps it maintain its mechanical properties and dimensional stability even in humid conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for use in applications where exposure to moisture is a concern, such as in electrical and electronic components. Additionally, PMP’s excellent electrical insulation properties make it an ideal material for insulating electrical parts and components, ensuring safety and reliability in electronic devices and systems. These properties, combined with its chemical and thermal resistance, make PMP a versatile material for a wide range of industrial and technical applications.
