1022 Case Hardened Yellow Zinc Chipboard Screw

A chipboard screw (also known as a particleboard screw) is a specialized fastener designed for securing chipboard, MDF, plywood, and other engineered wood materials. 1022 Case Hardened Yellow Zinc Chipboard Screw's unique thread design ensures strong holding power in low-density substrates, preventing splitting and ensuring a durable connection.

Key Features:

Coarse, Deep Threads – Provides superior grip in softwood, particleboard, and composite materials.

Sharp Self-Tapping Tip – Eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most cases, saving time and effort.

Partial or Full Thread Options – Available in both partially threaded (for shear resistance) and fully threaded (for maximum pull-out strength) designs.

Countersunk or Pan Head –

Countersunk head sits flush with the surface for a clean finish.

Pan head offers a broader bearing surface for added stability.

High-Quality Materials – Typically made from hardened steel (zinc-plated or stainless steel) for corrosion resistance and durability.

Common Applications:

Furniture assembly (IKEA-style flat-pack furniture)

Cabinetry & shelving installations

DIY woodworking projects

Joining engineered wood panels

Advantages Over Standard Wood Screws:

✔ Reduced Splitting – Aggressive threads minimize material damage.

✔ Faster Installation – Self-tapping design speeds up work.

✔ Stronger Hold – Optimized for low-density wood products.

Available Sizes:

Diameter: Typically 3.5mm to 6mm (e.g., #6, #8, #10)

Length: Ranges from 12mm to 150mm (varies by application).

Note: For best results in dense hardwood, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to prevent cracking.
