Product Description:

Spax Woodscrews with YELLOX Coating are premium-quality, high-performance screws engineered specifically for wood applications. Manufactured in Germany with advanced engineering precision, these screws offer a combination of durability, corrosion resistance, ease of use, and environmental safety. The patented YELLOX surface treatment enhances longevity and aesthetic appeal while delivering up to six times better corrosion protection compared to standard zinc coatings. These screws are suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople across woodworking, carpentry, joinery, and interior construction.

Key Features:

1. YELLOX Coating Technology:

• Offers superior rust protection, up to 6 times more resistant than conventional blue zinc plating (based on 46 m coating).

• Provides a long-lasting golden-yellow appearance, ideal for visible applications.

• Chrome (VI)-free composition ensures safety for users and the environment, compliant with EU environmental standards (RoHS and REACH).

2. Self-Tapping Thread Design:

• Facilitates quick penetration into soft and medium-density woods.

• Requires no pre-drilling in most materials, saving time and reducing labor.

• Reduces the risk of wood splitting, even close to the edge.

3. Multi-Material Compatibility:

• Effective in softwoods, hardwoods, chipboard, and plywood.

• Suitable for use in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments (for fully exposed areas, stainless steel variants are recommended).

4. Superior Grip and Holding Power:

• Optimised thread geometry provides tight, long-lasting grip.

• Enhances structural integrity of joints and minimizes loosening over time.

5. Durable Hardened Steel Core:

• Manufactured from hardened carbon steel, offering high tensile strength and resistance to torsional breakage.

6. Countersunk Head with Pozidriv Drive:

• Provides a flush finish when inserted, ideal for aesthetic and structural projects.

• Pozidriv drive ensures secure bit engagement, reducing cam-out and stripping.

Product Benefits:

• Reduced installation time due to self-tapping capability.

• Clean and professional finish with reduced wood damage.

• Environmentally safer with Chrome (VI)-free composition.

• Long-term resistance to corrosion in humid and sheltered outdoor environments.

• High performance for both professional construction and home improvement tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: Do these screws require pre-drilling?
A: In most cases, pre-drilling is not necessary for soft and medium woods. For hardwoods or extremely dense materials, a small pilot hole may be beneficial for optimal results.

Q2: Are Spax YELLOX screws suitable for outdoor use?
A: These screws are ideal for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For direct exposure to rain or harsh weather conditions, use Spax stainless steel screws designed for external applications.

Q3: What drive type is used for these screws?
A: They use a Pozidriv (PZ) head, which provides better torque transmission and reduces cam-out during installation.

Q4: What makes YELLOX environmentally friendly?
A: YELLOX is completely free of hexavalent chromium (Chrome VI), a substance classified as toxic and environmentally hazardous. This makes the screws safer to handle and more compliant with global environmental standards.
