While nylon screws offer many advantages, they still require some careful considerations during use, the most critical of which is torque. Correct torque ensures a quality screw connection, preventing loosening due to insufficient torque, or thread damage due to excessive torque, which can even damage the bolt or nut.
International torque standards have been established based on the characteristics and usage of nylon screws. Generally, torque standards are categorized by screw diameter and material, and can be further subdivided based on the material of the fastener being connected, thread type, and thread lubrication.
