High Performance Construction Fasteners in Metal Applications
AllFlex stainless steel self-drilling, thread cutting, and self-tapping fasteners are Made in The U.S.A. and have a proven success record in architectural applications worldwide. They are the ideal fastening solution for curtain walls, windows, doors, and other applications that include dissimilar metals. Stainless steel coupled with AllGuard coating gives AllFlex superior protection in the harshest environments.
Stainless steel offers long-term corrosion resistance in aggressive environments such as coastal areas or parts of the project that may be susceptible to moisture accumulation. However, stainless steel is not always practical when fastened to certain dissimilar types of metal, resulting in galvanic corrosion. Each AllFlex fastener is coated with Alloy’s new AllGuard (Galvanic Barrier) finish to prevent this. AllGuard provides far greater galvanic protection for aluminum components than standard (300 series) stainless steel fasteners alone.
Benefits of AllFlex Fasteners:
Type B and AB tapping screws, Type F and 23 thread cutting screws, primarily in aluminum components eliminate tapping operations, allowing for faster installation.
Stalgard® coating prevents Galvanic reaction between stainless steel fasteners an aluminum components.
Stainless steel fasteners offer long term corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, including coastal areas.
The specific combination of features retains joint and material integrity to help insure long term quality.
Applications:
Curtain Walls, including aluminum panels.
Windows and Doors.
Structures in pool and spa areas.
Hurricane protection systems.
Explosion control systems.
Buildings in a marine environment.
