Plastic Inserts
Plastic Inserts are components incorporated into plastic parts to provide threaded fastening, reinforcement, alignment, spacing, electrical isolation or improved mechanical connection. They may be installed during moulding or after the plastic part has been manufactured. Threaded inserts are especially useful when a plastic component requires a durable, reusable thread for repeated assembly and disassembly.
