Hex Bolts
The universal workhorse of structural fastening — a six-sided head driven by a spanner or socket, manufactured in full-thread, half-thread, alloy and stainless configurations to international standard.
What is a
Hex Bolt?
Hex Bolt is a fully threaded metric fastener manufactured to DIN, ISO and IS standards for reliable, high-strength fastening. Featuring a hexagonal head for efficient torque application, it is available in various materials, finishes, and property classes to suit diverse mechanical and corrosion resistance requirements. Widely used in construction, machinery, automotive, and general engineering, it delivers secure, durable, and dependable fastening across a broad range of industrial applications.
What material
is it?
Stocked in three grades to match load and environment. Grade 8.8 high-tensile covers general structural and mechanical assembly. Grade 10.9 high-tensile is specified for heavy-duty and shock-load applications where higher proof load is essential. SS 304 & SS 316 is used where corrosion resistance is the priority — coastal, food-grade, or chemical-exposure environments. Grade 12.9 is also available against specific enquiry.
