The Ebco PAN Head Chipboard Screw - Zinc Plated White is a simple, reliable fastener that tackles chipboard and light timber tasks with ease. This screw combines a neat pan head profile with zinc plating for decent corrosion resistance and a clean finish.

Key Features:

• Pan Head Design – provides a broad, flat surface to prevent over-driving and offers a tidy appearance on exposed surfaces.
• Zinc Plated White Finish – adds moderate rust protection and keeps screws looking sharp over time.
• Sharp Threading – cuts into chipboard effectively for solid grip without splitting the material.
• Range of Sizes – from 3 × 12 mm up to 4 × 30 mm, giving you flexibility depending on thickness and load requirements.
• Straightforward Installation – compatible with standard screwdrivers or power drills, making your job quicker and cleaner.

Applications

This screw is perfect when you're fixing chipboard shelving, cabinetry, or assembling flat-pack furniture. The pan head keeps things flush but visible — good if you want to avoid countersinking. Its zinc plating means it's best suited for interior use where moisture levels are low to moderate. If you’re hanging lightweight panels or joining thin boards, these screws deliver solid hold without fuss.

Why Choose This Model

The bottom line is you get dependable performance at an affordable price. Ebco’s chipboard screws don’t have flashy features — but they do the job well every time. The choice of sizes means you can pick exactly what suits your project without overspending on bigger screws than needed. And the white zinc plating blends nicely with painted or light-coloured woods, meaning less finishing work down the line.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Screw Diameter (3 mm - 4 mm) – affects holding strength and suitability for different material thicknesses; thinner screws for delicate assemblies, thicker ones where more grip is needed.
• Screw Length (12 mm - 30 mm) – choose length based on board thickness; longer screws penetrate deeper making sure firm joins but watch out for protrusion on opposite side.
• Zinc Plating Thickness – offers basic corrosion resistance but avoid harsh outdoor environments to prevent rusting over time.
• Pozidriv Drive Slot – reduces cam-out and makes driving easier compared to traditional slotted heads.
• PAN Head Profile – excellent load distribution across surface while maintaining visibility; handy when countersinking isn’t practical.
