TapFast^®

TapFast TF-HCR self-tapping fasteners are designed to fix sheeting and cladding to timber, heavy steel and light steel, and are suitable for use in extremely high-risk environments including:

• Swimming pools with almost permanent condensation and exposure to chlorine

• Subtropical and tropical zones with exposure to severe humidity

• High pollution environments such as extreme industrial areas

• Coastal and offshore areas where there will be occasional contact with salt spray

Our TF-HCR self-tapping fasteners must be used for all safety-critical applications where fasteners penetrate or are installed within the corrosive environment. Where fasteners are protected from chlorine gas and other chemicals, other grades of stainless steel can be used.

Delivering proven resistance against stress corrosion cracking, our self-tapping fasteners are manufactured from high-grade High Corrosion Resistant (HCR) 1.4529 stainless steel, which is an approved material according to BS EN ISO 3506-4:2009 Annex C.

Containing a minimum of 6% Molybdenum, allowing these fasteners to be used in corrosive, aggressive environments.

Our TF-HCR range meets the standards set out by the NI (Nickel Institute) for safety-critical fasteners in applications where stress corrosion could be an issue.
