Product Overview
The Chipboard Screw is also called Screw for Particleboard or Screw MDF. It’s designed with a countersunk head (usually a double countersunk head), a slim shank with an extremely coarse thread, and a self-tapping point.
The countersunk/ double countersunk head
The flat-head makes the chipboard screw stay level with the material. In particular, the double countersunk head is designed for increased head strength.
The thin shaft
The thin shaft helps to prevent the material from splitting.
The coarse thread
Compared with other kinds of screws, the thread of the screw MDF is coarser and sharper, which digs deeper and more tightly into the soft material such as particleboard, MDF board, etc. In other words, this helps more part of the material to be embedded in the thread, creating an extremely firm grip.
The self-tapping point
The self-tapping point makes the screw of particle board more easily driven into the surface without a pilot drill hole.
The nibs (Optional Feature)
Besides, the chipboard screw may also have other features, which are not necessary but might improve the fastening processes in some applications: The nibs under the head help to cut away any debris for easy insertion and makes the screw countersink flush with the timber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Chipboard Screw?
A Chipboard Screw, also known as a Screw for Particleboard or Screw MDF, is specifically designed for soft materials. It features a countersunk head (often a double countersunk head), a slim shank with an extremely coarse thread, and a self-tapping point.
What are the benefits of the double countersunk head design?
The flat countersunk head allows the screw to stay flush with the material surface. The double countersunk head design specifically provides increased head strength to prevent the head from snapping during installation.
Do I need to drill a pilot hole before using chipboard screws?
No, chipboard screws feature a self-tapping point which allows them to be driven into the surface of particleboard or wood easily without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole.
Why do chipboard screws have a thin shaft and coarse thread?
The thin shaft helps prevent the soft material from splitting. The coarser and sharper thread digs deeper and tighter into soft materials like MDF and particleboard, allowing more material to embed in the thread for an extremely firm grip.
What is the purpose of the nibs under the head of some chipboard screws?
The optional nibs under the head help cut away debris during insertion, facilitating easier installation and allowing the screw to sit perfectly flush with the timber surface.
Are these chipboard screws approved for construction use?
Yes, these chipboard screws are approved by construction authorities. They undergo high-temperature treatment for exceptional snap resistance, high tensile strength, and a long service life.
