Polymer Screws for Isolation, Corrosion, and Lightweight Applications
Plastic Screws
Thermoplastic-body fasteners — polymer thread, head, and drive formed from engineering plastic. Selected where metal screws cannot meet the requirement: electrical isolation, full corrosion immunity, non-magnetic service, or weight-critical assembly.
Way Fast supplies standard polymer fasteners (Nylon 6/6 and Polycarbonate catalog sizes) through established factory partnership. Inquiries welcome for applications matching available catalog specs. Engineering-grade polymers (PEEK, PPS, POM, PVDF) are specialty-line items typically sourced outside the Way Fast catalog.
Why source through Way Fast
We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers — primarily to North American OEM programs, including platforms shared with European and Japanese brands — with day-to-day experience handling the documentation and tolerance standards these projects demand.
01 · Multi-source capacity
Working with multiple qualified manufacturing partners — we match each order to the best-fit production line, stabilizing lead times and cost when single-source capacity tightens.
02 · Submission-grade documentation
Full support for PPAP (Levels 1–3), IMDS submission, and RoHS / REACH documentation.
03 · Audited special-process chain
Partners certified to AIAG CQI-9 (heat treat), CQI-11 (plating), and CQI-12 (coating) — covering the full post-processing chain under audited special-process controls.
04 · Multilingual drawing review
Technical drawing review in English, German, Japanese, and Chinese — including ISO 8015 GPS callouts, JIS standards, thread tolerance classes, and coating specifications.
05 · Polymer grade and application matching
Polymer grade matched to operating temperature, chemical exposure, load rating, and UV exposure — drawing-reviewed against customer environmental specification. Standard grades (Nylon 6/6, Polycarbonate) supplied from catalog; engineering polymers (PEEK, PPS, POM, PVDF) are specialty-line items, typically sourced outside the Way Fast catalog.
Family coverage · 2 grades
Available polymer grades
Nylon 6/6
General purpose · cost-effective
Engineering nylon with good strength, chemical resistance, and fatigue life. Standard polymer for non-metallic fasteners — used in electrical enclosures, corrosion-sensitive hardware, non-critical isolation, and general industrial assembly.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Impact resistance · transparent
Higher impact resistance than nylon, inherently transparent. Standard-grade polycarbonate fasteners used in electrical enclosures, clear / transparent housings, and impact-critical hardware.
Sizes
M2 – M10 · #4 – 3/8″
Lengths
5 – 40 mm · 1/4″ – 1 1/2″
Material
Nylon 6/6 or Polycarbonate (PC) standard catalog grades only. Engineering polymers (PEEK, PPS, POM, PVDF) are not part of Way Fast standard supply — recommended alternative sourcing for those grades.
Finishes
Natural polymer color (white, black, natural amber); custom color per programme.
Head types
Pan, flat, hex, socket, truss, or per drawing.
Drive
Phillips, slotted, hex socket, or per drawing.
Lead times
Quotation and production
Quotation
Within 5–7 business days from receipt of drawing and specifications.
Sample & production
Schedules issued per project.
Send your drawing with application context (chemical exposure, operating temperature, load requirement) — catalog-spec feasibility and polymer grade recommendation per programme.
Supplied through qualified polymer-fastener manufacturing partnership. PPAP / IMDS / RoHS / REACH documentation per customer program.
