Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0x40 mm 500-Pack

Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0×40 mm (Pack of 500)

Medium Thickness Frame and Skeleton Assembly

The Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.0×40 mm is a long and thin-diameter fastener used for joining materials such as chipboard, MDF, plywood, and solid wood. With a 3.0 mm diameter and a 40 mm length (4 cm), it is ideal for securing standard 18 mm thick panels to thick frames or load-bearing skeletons, or for creating long joints not exposed to high loads. Its thin 3.0 mm diameter keeps the risk of material splitting low, while its 40 mm length provides a reliable and deep hold.

Purpose and Key Features

The main purpose of the Meridyen Chipboard Screw is to secure medium-thickness wood materials without splitting them, fastening panels or frame components quickly and strongly with a deeper hold.

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 hold in particle boards.

Head Type: Countersunk:

The conical shape of the head sinks completely into the material when screwed, becoming flush with the surface. This ensures the surface remains flat and any hardware placed on it fits perfectly.

Size and Application Area:

3.0 mm Diameter x 40 mm Length: The thin 3.0 mm diameter reduces the risk of material splitting. The 40 mm length provides sufficient depth for joining standard 18 mm panels perpendicularly to another 18 mm panel (corner joint) or for fastening them to thicker frames.

Tip Structure:

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

Surface Coating:

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

Areas of Use and Industries

This screw is used in all carpentry work involving standard thickness furniture panels and joints requiring a long hold.

Industry of Use	Application Areas
Furniture Manufacturing	Strongly joining standard $18 \text{ mm}$ chipboard/MDF panels perpendicularly to each other (a length close to 2 panel thicknesses).
Carpentry and Workshop	Mounting thin panels to thick solid wood frames or carcasses.
Interior Construction	Securing wooden architraves, skirting boards, and battens to walls with anchors or to wooden carcasses.
General Assembly	Long wooden connections that bear loads but require the flexibility provided by the diameter.

Product Description

The Meridyen Chipboard Screw, with a 3.0 mm diameter and 40 mm length, is designed for the fast, reliable, and aesthetic assembly of medium-thickness wood-derived materials and long joints. Its countersunk head structure ensures a flush finish with the surface when screwed, guaranteeing a smooth aesthetic. The 3.0 mm diameter reduces the risk of splitting, while the 40 mm length provides a strong and deep hold in corner and frame joints of standard panels. Its yellow zinc (chromate) coating provides corrosion resistance. With a pack of 500, it is a reliable solution for furniture manufacturers and carpenters in high-volume jobs requiring long connections.
