Plastic fasteners are used in a variety of applications
because of the flexibility, durability and low cost
of the material. They also help speed assembly time
for many electronic components and units.
Locking card spacers are a great example of plastic
fasteners that provide a number of benefits over metal
counterparts. These plastic fasteners include a round
spacing pillar that collects no oil, dirt or other
material and provides excellent insulation. Their
snap-in design also alleviates the need of screws
or other metal fasteners, saving on material costs
and assembly time.
Plastic fasteners can also be used in conjunction
with metal fasteners to improve the seal of fastening
holes and prevent dust, dirt and oil from getting
into gaps. The toggle fixer, for example, is a plastic
fastener that expands when a metal screw is driven
into it, locking the toggle fixer into place and sealing
the hole off completely.
Intermark USA manufactures plastic fasteners for
a wide variety of applications.
