Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0x18 mm 1000-piece Pack

Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0×18 mm (1000 Pcs/Pack)

Ideal Length for Light Assemblies

Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0×18 mm is a thin-diameter and short-length fastener used for joining chipboard, MDF, plywood, and similar wood-based materials. With a 3.0 mm diameter and 18 mm length, it is particularly preferred for edge joints of thin panels (8 mm, 10 mm), and for mounting furniture hardware such as hinges and drawer slides that require a shallow screw depth. Its thin body diameter minimizes the risk of splitting the material, and its countersunk head ensures an aesthetic, flush finish.

Purpose and Key Features

The main purpose of the Meridyen Chipboard Screw is to quickly, aesthetically, and reliably secure thin wooden materials without splitting them, and to mount furniture hardware or thin panels in connections subject to light loads.

Screw Type: Chipboard Screw (Phillips Head):

Specifically designed for wood materials, it features a wide-spaced and deep thread structure. This structure provides a strong and permanent grip in particle boards.

Head Type: Countersunk Head:

The conical shape of the head allows it to fully embed into the material when screwed, becoming flush with the surface. This ensures that hardware such as hinges, handles, and slides sit flush and aesthetically on the surface.

Size and Application Area:

3.0 mm Diameter x 18 mm Length: The 3.0 mm thin diameter reduces the risk of splitting in thin materials. The 18 mm length provides ideal gripping depth for furniture accessories and thin panel joints where 16 mm might be insufficient, but still requires a short connection.

Tip Structure:

The sharp tip structure reduces the need for pre-drilling (pilot hole) in thin materials and supports quick assembly.

Surface Coating:

Typically coated with yellow zinc (chromate) or white zinc. Provides corrosion resistance and an aesthetic appearance.

This screw is used as a basic fastening element in all furniture and decoration work where thin panels and hardware are utilized.
