Nylon Screws vs Metal Screws Performance Comparison

Nylon screws vs metal screws comparison:

1. Weight

Nylon screws density ~1.15g/cm³, 70-80% lighter than metal.

2. Insulation

Nylon screws offer excellent electrical insulation for electronics.

3. Corrosion Resistance

Nylon resists acids and alkalis; metal screws need surface treatment.

4. Strength

Metal screws have higher strength; nylon for medium-low load applications.

5. Temperature Range

Nylon PA66: -40°C~+120°C; Metal screws have wider temperature range.

Selection Guide:

  • Electronics, insulation → Nylon screws
  • Chemical environment → Nylon screws
  • High load, high temperature → Metal screws
  • Lightweight requirement → Nylon screws
