Provides electrical conductivity & has non-magnetic nature; less strength than stainless steel. For hardwood, metal, plastic surfaces.

Provides mild corrosion resistance. For plaster, softwood surfaces.

Offers excellent corrosion resistance and moderate structural rigidity; is stronger than brass & aluminium. For carbon fibre, fibreglass, garolite, hardwood, metal, plastic, softwood surfaces.

High strength-to-weight ratio and higher resistance to acids & saltwater than nickel alloy & stainless steel. For metal surfaces.

Provides hardness, structural rigidity and durability. For fibreglass, hardwood, metal, plastic, softwood surfaces.

Lighter than stainless steel / steel / brass; provides corrosion resistance & non-magnetic properties. For metal, plastic surfaces.

Lightweight and cheaper to use as compared to other materials. For carbon fibre, fibreglass, garolite surfaces.

Higher resistance to acids & saltwater as compared to stainless steel. For metal surfaces.

Construction material & finish determine stability in heavy-duty applications or corrosive environments.

Users can identify threaded inserts according to Imperial, Metric, fine, coarse or special thread types.

It denotes the size of fastener it would fit, thread depth & application compatiblity.

Long threaded inserts have greater pullout capacity (harder to pull out) whereas inserts having wide diameters have a superior overall torque-out capacity (harder to rotate inside the hole).

Helical inserts having a prong provide ease of installation. The installation tool grips this prong to install an insert into a tapped hole.

Helical inserts without a prong do not need breaking off and retrieval of the prong during installation. They are used in applications where debris may cause damage.

Tapered heat-set inserts are used to install plastic fasteners permanently. These inserts are heated after installation to melt the plastic & cool it slowly for solidifying the fastener around the insert's knurls & ridges and providing resistance to torque & pull-outs.

These inserts form the strongest hold of all threaded inserts on soft metal surfaces as they feature distorted internal threads that lock the screws into place. They have keys that prevent slipping or rotating by driving into the surrounding material. They have high strength, owing to their solid, one-piece metal construction, unlike helical inserts that are made of coiled wire.

These inserts are hammered into wooden or fibreglass surfaces. They feature hooked prongs for excellent holding power without splitting the wood.

These inserts are also called Tap-Lok inserts. They do not require a separate tap for thread cutting as they can cut threading in soft metals like aluminium.

These inserts are used with metal fasteners to prevent them from sticking or binding without using any coating or lubricant. They are ideal for particle-free environments. They are also known as Heli-Coil inserts and have coils that expand after installation to secure the insert.

They have a knurled & tapered body to hold them in place in soft metals like aluminium. These inserts have flexible metal teeth for anchoring them in composite materials.

These inserts use adhesives that reach full strength after some time for keeping the inserts in place.

These inserts are suitable for small-sized holes & holes near the workpiece edge.

These inserts are used in larger holes and have more strength than thin-walled inserts.

They are stronger than both thick & thin-wall inserts and are used for reducing the size of tapped holes.

They allow the passing of long fasteners through them.

They are suitable for sealing out elements and protecting their threads from debris.

They feature a wider end than standard inserts for a large load-bearing surface and hard-to-pull-out properties. The flange also provides a larger soldering area. They also prevent over-tightening & cracking of plastic.

They have a uniform shape for general application.
