For specific situations, like when stress-prone or brittle glass-filled thermoplastics are used, Tappex has developed specialized threaded inserts tailored to handle the demands of these tough plastics. These inserts are available in brass or steel for installation after molding or by pressing them in, usually into machined or molded plastics at room temperature, with heat applied when needed.
