M5 x 30 Chipboard Screws (200/Pack)

M5 x 30 Chipboard Screws (200/Pack) are bright zinc-plated fixings specifically designed for chipboard and other engineered wood-based materials. Engineered for interior use, these screws deliver reliable holding power without causing splitting - making them a trusted choice for fixing in furniture manufacturing, joinery, and general woodwork.The bright zinc-plated finish offers moderate corrosion resistance and represents a more economical alternative to stainless steel. While not suitable for outdoor or high-humidity environments, zinc-plated screws provide more than adequate protection for the vast majority of indoor applications. For users working within budget constraints, they strike a smart balance between performance and cost.Each screw is fitted with a hex head, allowing for superior torque transmission and easier driving with power tools. The hexagonal profile provides a firm, slip-free connection with the driver bit, significantly reducing the risk of cam-out or head deformation under load. This makes them particularly effective for repetitive fixings or applications requiring high torque, where consistency and installation speed are key. M5 x 30 Meaning M stands for metric thread.5 refers to the screw’s diameter - in this case, 5 millimetres.30 indicates the length of the screw shaft - here, 30 millimetres from the underside of the head to the tip. Applications Furniture & Cabinetry: Perfect for interior joinery and furniture assembly.Wood-Based Panels: Designed for use with chipboard, MDF, and other engineered timber products.General Interior Fixings: Ideal for internal construction or fit-out work where a reliable fixing is needed.Trade Use: A popular choice among professionals for consistent performance across repetitive tasks. Benefits Hex Head for High Torque: Provides excellent grip and torque transfer, reducing the risk of head stripping under load.Bright Zinc-Plated Finish: Offers a layer of corrosion resistance, ideal for long-term use in dry, indoor environments.Strong Fixing Power: Coarse threads provide excellent holding strength in chipboard and softwoods, minimising the risk of pull-out.Interior Use: Specifically suited for indoor applications where moisture exposure is limited.Bulk Pack: Supplied in a cost-effective 200-pack, ideal for trade users or larger DIY projects.
