Chipboard screws are specialized self-tapping fasteners designed for particleboard, MDF, plywood and other composite wood materials. Featuring sharp self-tapping tips, they avoid pre-drilling for fast assembly. The deep thread profile delivers exceptional holding power and effectively prevents substrate splitting. Widely applied in furniture manufacturing, cabinet assembly and interior construction, these fasteners ensure easy installation and stable long-term fastening performance.

Mechanical Properties
Our chipboard screws are manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent mechanical performance across different applications. The following properties can be customized based on project requirements:
- Tensile Strength: High tensile strength ensures structural reliability under load conditions
- Case Hardness: Surface hardness typically ranges from HV 450–750 for enhanced wear resistance
- Core Hardness: Optimized core toughness to prevent brittle fracture during installation
- Driving Torque: Stable and controlled torque values for efficient installation without breakage
- Pull-Out Resistance: Excellent holding power in particleboard, MDF, and plywood
- Salt Spray Resistance: 24–1000+ hours depending on coating type (zinc, Ruspert, Dacromet)
- Coating Thickness: Uniform coating for improved corrosion resistance and durability
As a professional wood screws supplier, we ensure every batch of self-tapping chipboard screws meets international performance expectations for furniture and construction applications.
Application-Based Selection Guide
- By Material
- Particleboard / Chipboard: Use deep-thread self-tapping chipboard screws for maximum grip
- MDF: Fine or twin thread design helps reduce splitting
- Plywood: Standard coarse thread provides balanced holding strength
- By Thickness
- Screw length should be at least 2/3 of the total material thickness
- For joining two boards, ensure sufficient penetration into the base material
- By Environment
- Indoor Use: Zinc plated or black phosphate finishes are suitable
- Outdoor Use: Ruspert or Dacromet coatings recommended for corrosion resistance
- High Humidity Areas: Consider stainless steel options
