Over the past several years, Volt Industrial Plastics and our fasteners have been incorporated and are utilized in many items that you probably use every day. Whether you realize it or not, you are probably using one of our fasteners right now, OR are using an item that utilizes one right now. Everything from computers, beds, furniture, vehicles, and more benefit from the technology our engineers have built into the thousands of fasteners that are used all over the world. We tend to forget all the little pieces that hold together a computer or a piece of furniture… but here at Volt Industrial Plastics, we’re here to remind you that our plastic fasteners are used everywhere! No matter where you need it, what color, or what material you want them in, we have them available for you.. And if not? We will custom make it to your specifications.
Our plastic fasteners can be used in so many different applications, we’ve really heard it all, but there are some common uses out there you may find interesting.
CARS
Believe it or not, plastic has major advantages when it comes to electronic and other components used in cars and trucks. Assembly lines are full of plastic parts, all used in a specific, unique way to make everything work better. Plastic not only creates the cost savings and lighter parts that manufacturers are looking for, but it also is non-corrosive and very versatile. This is ideal for engines and that is why our plastic fasteners are being used more and more in place of metal versions.
APPLIANCES
Yes! Appliances are full of plastic components - just like cars and trucks. Screws, bolts, and rivets are commonly used during assembly for many products like your dishwasher, refrigerator, or laundry machines. Not only that but with all the appliances becoming so advanced, there is likely a circuit board in there too!
COMPUTERS
Powered by the circuit boards, we are able to use our computers every day to accomplish tasks and learn things much easier than ever before. Circuit boards need to be perfectly spaced out and have all of the little parts attached inside so that we can do all the amazing things we do. That’s where our fasteners come in! We have parts and pieces designed to snap things into place, space things out, and protect the electronic components. Plastic is a great choice for these fasteners because they can provide electrical insulation, unlike those made from metal.
FURNITURE
A growing trend these days is buying furniture that you put together at home. They not only make the furniture more sturdy, but make everything lighter and more easily to ship or transport. Some types of our fasteners used in furniture may include the pegs holding the shelves on your bookshelf up - or the screws and studs used to screw it all together! They are especially useful when trying to cover all the holes and screws drilled into your furniture because you can color match any plastic caps to insert in the holes for a nice smooth finishing surface.
