ITW Group Buildex Screws
Product Overview
ITW Group Buildex screws are self-tapping, self-drilling screws specially designed for fastening steel sheets. They are developed and manufactured by Buildex, a global leader in the fastener industry. As a premium product supplier certified under ISO9001, Buildex’s factory delivers billions of self-tapping, self-drilling screws to customers worldwide each year. Every screw undergoes rigorous testing procedures to ensure consistent, reliable quality. These screws comply with Australia’s AS3566 standard and international standards, while also meeting China’s national standards. They can withstand durability tests across various climates and environments, making them an ideal choice for securing color-coated steel purlins on roofs and walls of light steel structure buildings.
Rigorous Manufacturing Process
Buildex screws are produced following a standardized, precision manufacturing process. Each step is strictly controlled to ensure that product performance meets specifications: first comes the formation of the screw shank and drill tail, creating a precise drill tail structure suitable for fastening steel sheets; next is thread forming, designing threads tailored to self-tapping requirements to guarantee strong engagement; then comes heat treatment, which enhances the screw’s hardness and toughness, improving its resistance to bending and wear; followed by mechanical galvanizing, providing basic rust protection; further reinforced through Climaseal force-sealing coating technology, boosting corrosion resistance to suit diverse climatic conditions; after coating, washers are assembled to improve sealing and fixation; finally, strict packaging and shipping procedures ensure products arrive intact in the customer’s hands.
Core Quality Standards
Every fastener produced by Buildex adheres to high-quality standards and undergoes stringent inspection and testing processes. Products not only meet Australia’s AS3566 standard and international standards but also satisfy China’s national standards, qualifying for compliant use across multiple regions. Whether in scorching tropical areas, frigid high-latitude zones, or humid, salty coastal environments, Buildex screws deliver maximum durability, maintaining stable fastening performance over time and preventing loosening or rust caused by environmental factors.
