Korrex caps provide a clean aesthetic appearance to finished products, which is particularly important in the manufacture of goods for the consumer market, such as in the white goods industry.
But appearance is not everything! These caps also help protect threaded fasteners from the ingress of corrosive and contaminating elements.
This protection reduces maintenance time in a number of applications, by eliminating the need to clean fasteners before being able to remove them.
This protection is also valuable in the manufacture of goods that are to be painted.
Once the product is complete, the addition of protective caps before painting prevents threads from becoming clogged and difficult to remove.
Both types of Korrex caps are manufactured in highest quality polyethylene, and can withstand temperatures from -50C to +100C.
They can be re-used many times.
