Fix-4

FIX-4 self-drilling screws is designed for use in harsh marine industrial settings where corrosion from salt-water exposure is a concern. To counteract this, it features CLIMATEX™-4 Coating System that is resistant to corrosion and chemicals that meets AS3566 Class-4 Standards.

FIX-4’s coating consists of a tin-zinc alloy with a tin/zinc ratio of 25-30% and a minimum thickness of 45 microns and a porosity level of 8. It comes with an added layer of 35 microns epoxy polymer barrier to enhance its resistance to corrosion and environmental factors. FIX-4 is backed by a 30-year rust-proof warranty and is suitable for use with AZ150 and higher coated metal sheets.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Screw Head

  • The screw head securely fastens to the block without loosening during operation due to its reliable and efficient design.
  • You can choose colors that match the color of the metal sheet, both standard and special colors, for enhanced aesthetics and increased resistance to UV rays and corrosion.

Shank Protection

Removing the sharp edges of the metal sheet prevents the screw from scraping against the roof panel, preserving the coating and preventing damage to the protective coating. This also helps prevent the issue of missing screws.

High Thread

The screws on the folded edges of the roof sheet are sealed with rubber to prevent leaks and to help control the roof sheet to align with the working positions.

Sabre Point

  • There are options available for use, including steel, special thick steel, timber, and composite screws.
  • The drill point end is sharp, drills quickly, and is user-friendly. It’s specially designed to allow suitable usage for each type of material, ranging from steel with a thickness of 0.4 mm to patterned steel of 12.5 mm.
  • The Sabre Drilling Point is uniquely designed for thick steel, capable of drilling through up to 20 mm thick steel.
  • Screws with pointed ends are designed for timber use.
Dekseal® TrueBlue® EPDM Seal

Each FIX-IT fasteners is equipped with a premium EPDM TrueBlue® seal by DEKS Industrial. 

  • Non-conductive and securely fastened without leakages.
  • Prevents electro-galvanic corrosion
  • High flexibility and meets the AS3566 standards
Dekseal® TrueBlue® EPDM Seal is highly durable and comes with a 20-year warranty.

CLIMATEX™-4
CORROSION PROTECTION COATING SYSTEM

CLIMATEX™-4 Coating System
35 micron epoxy polymer resin barrier layer that provides exceptional protection against oxidation, heat, chemicals, and scratches.
Electro Plated Zinc Coat
A tin/zinc coating with a 20-30% tin to zinc ratio, a minimum porosity of 8, and a thickness of 45 microns.
Heat Treatment
Controlled heat treatment process that prevents hydrogen embrittlement and result in optimal hardness on both the surface and core of fasteners, avoiding any metallurgical defects.
