these forgefix pozidriv machine screws are designed for use with nuts or pre-tapped holes they are zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance their pan head with a flat under head surface makes the screws ideal to lay flat on sheet material of all types thus reducing deformationapplicationideal for use in many diy ironmongery electrical & plumbing applicationszinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish it does this by forming a barrier & by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged zinc oxide is a fine white dust that in contrast to iron oxide does not trigger a breakdown of the substrateand 8217s surface integrity as it is formed the zinc oxide if left intact can act as a barrier to further oxidation in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum & stainless steels by their oxide layersthe pozidriv screw is similar in appearance to the classic phillips cross-head but in fact is very different the pozidriv ha
