Bioplastics are also being used for components in industrial products. Examples include components from the automotive, electronics and construction industries. However, the screwing of biopolymers requires customised fasteners that can be processed reliably.

The Remform II HS is available for particularly demanding applications. This is used when highly resilient screw connections, a high preload force and a high degree of loosening security are required, for example with harder, fibre-reinforced plastics.(Source: Arnold Umformtechnik)

When it comes to future topics such as sustainability in the value chain, the focus is just as much on the overall products as it is on the individual components and their connection. However, in view of the increasing use of bioplastics in high-performance products, the connections for these new materials must be reconsidered and optimised.

Arnold Umformtechnik from Forchtenberg-Ernsbach has taken up this challenge. In a joint project with Bond-Laminates, the company also investigated whether the Remform II HS (High Strength) thread-forming screw is suitable for use in bio-based composite materials.
