Product Overview: Galvanized Self Tapping Screw
Sinsun Galvanized Self-Tapping Screws feature durable and reliable fastening in challenging environments.
The screws are made of carbon steel with a zinc coating that protects them from rust and corrosion.
This zinc coating is typically applied through electro-galvanizing or hot-dip galvanizing processes.
Their unique design allows them to tap into their own threads and eliminate the need for predrilled holes.
This significantly speeds up installation in construction, agriculture, and general industrial settings.
-
Controlled Corrosion Protection
For long-lasting and predictable outdoor performance, we galvanize using a standard hot-dip galvanizing process.
-
Engineered for Strength
Grade 1022A or higher carbon steel screws undergo precise heat treatment to achieve a core hardness of 38-45 HRC, balancing toughness and driving ability.

Why Choose Sinsun Self Drilling Screws Galvanized?
Primary Applications of drilling screws galvanized?

1
Q: What is the difference between hot-dip galvanized and electro-galvanized self-tapping screws?
A: The core difference lies in coating thickness and durability. Hot-dip galvanized screws are dipped in molten zinc, creating a thick, durable layer (50-150 µm) for superior long-term outdoor protection. Electro-galvanized screws use an electrochemical process for a thinner, smoother layer (5-25 µm), making them ideal for indoor use or where a neat aesthetic is prioritized over heavy-duty corrosion resistance.

Q: Can galvanized self-tapping screws be used with pressure-treated wood?
A: Yes, but selection is critical. Modern ACQ or CA treated woods are highly corrosive. Standard electro-galvanized screws may fail quickly. Hot-dip galvanized screws with a thick coating are the minimum recommended specification. For maximum longevity in direct contact with treated lumber, screws with an additional polymer barrier coating are often advised to prevent chemical reaction with the wood preservatives.

Q: How does the galvanized coating affect the screw's drilling performance?
A: The zinc coating does not negatively impact drilling; in many cases, it provides slight lubricity during the initial drive. The drilling speed and penetration depend entirely on the hardened Tek point classification. Our screws feature a precisely engineered drill tip that maintains its integrity through the coating process, ensuring effective penetration into steel substrates.

Q: What is the expected service life of hot-dip galvanized screws in outdoor applications?
A: Service life depends on the ISO 12944 corrosivity category. In standard atmospheric environments (C2-C3), a quality 85 µm hot-dip galvanized coating can provide 15 to 25 years of service. In aggressive coastal (C4) or industrial environments, the lifespan will be shorter. We recommend consulting our technical charts to match the coating thickness to your specific site conditions.

Q: Is it necessary to use a sealing washer with galvanized roofing screws?
A: Absolutely. While the galvanized coating protects the metal fastener, it cannot seal the entry hole. An EPDM rubber sealing washer is essential for all roofing applications. It compresses under the head to form a watertight gasket, preventing moisture from reaching the internal threads or the building interior, which is critical for preventing structural rot and leaks.
