Oxide-Coated Self-Tapping Screw

Oxide-coated self-tapping screws are a type of fastener used primarily indoors under normal humidity conditions.

They are made of carbon steel and coated with an oxide film, hence the name. Their distinctive feature is a black color. These self-tapping screws are not suitable for outdoor work, as they are prone to corrosion.

A self-tapping screw is a metal rod with a thread, a sharp tip, and a round head. The standard diameter is 3 to 6 millimeters, and the length is 16-150 millimeters. These fasteners can be used with wood, drywall, and metal.

How to use

If the thickness of the material into which the self-tapping screw is driven is less than 0.9 millimeters, a pilot hole is not required. In other cases, a hole is necessary to avoid damaging the material. The hole diameter should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the fastener.

Oxide-coated self-tapping screws are items that should be in every home. You can buy them from FLOK. We guarantee the high quality of all our fasteners.
