How it is Made: From Raw Material to Finished Product
Raw Material(s)
The primary materials used in Butterfly Fischer fasteners include high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304 and 316 for corrosion resistance), specialized zinc-plated steel for general applications, and in some cases, hot-dip galvanized steel for maximum protection against harsh environmental conditions. The butterfly component typically uses engineered polymers or nylon for flexibility and durability.
Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process begins with precision cold forging of the metal components to ensure consistent grain structure and superior strength. The steel rods undergo cutting, threading, and head forming through automated CNC machinery. The butterfly component is injection-molded using high-pressure molding machines with engineering-grade polymers. Critical stages include heat treatment through controlled quenching and tempering to achieve optimal hardness (typically HRC 45-55). Surface treatment involves either mechanical zinc plating or electrochemical processes for corrosion protection. Final assembly integrates the metal fastener with the polymer butterfly mechanism through precision fitting.
Key Properties Derived from Manufacturing
The cold forging process imparts exceptional tensile strength, allowing the fasteners to withstand pull-out forces up to 25 kN in concrete. The heat treatment ensures optimal hardness and durability, preventing thread stripping and deformation under load. The surface coatings provide superior corrosion resistance, essential for UAE’s coastal and industrial environments. The injection molding of the butterfly component creates reliable expansion properties that ensure secure anchoring in various base materials.
Quality Control
Fischer implements rigorous quality control measures including dimensional verification using optical comparators, torque testing to ensure proper installation characteristics, salt spray testing for corrosion resistance validation, and load testing to verify ultimate tensile strength. All fasteners comply with international standards including ISO 898-1 for mechanical properties and European Technical Approvals for construction applications.
Essential Uses in the UAE Construction Landscape
Primary Application(s)
Butterfly Fischer fasteners are extensively used in UAE construction for concrete anchoring in high-rise buildings, securing curtain wall systems in skyscrapers like Burj Khalifa, mounting HVAC equipment on concrete slabs, installing electrical conduits and plumbing fixtures in commercial buildings, and securing safety systems on construction sites. Their ability to handle dynamic loads makes them ideal for seismic applications and vibration-prone installations. According to construction experts at Dubai Buildings Authority, these fasteners are specified in over 70% of major construction projects due to their reliability in extreme temperatures ranging from 0°C to 50°C.
