Virgin coconut oil (VCO) can be produced from fresh coconut meat, milk, or residue. Producing it from the fresh meat involves removing the shell and washing, then either wet-milling or drying the residue, and using a screw press to extract the oil. VCO can also be extracted from fresh meat by grating and drying it to a moisture content of 10–12%, then using a manual press to extract the oil. Producing it from coconut milk involves grating the coconut and mixing it with water, then squeezing out the oil. The milk can also be fermented for 36–48 hours, the oil removed, and the cream heated to remove any remaining oil. A third option involves using a centrifuge to separate the oil from the other liquids. Virgin coconut oil looks slightly different from ordinary coconut oil and this differentiation cannot be made with the naked eye. This difference is mainly due to the presence of certain colloidal and other particles and moisture within it. On the other hand, ordinary oil is refined and is mainly left with the fatty acids in it and almost nothing else. Ideally, virgin coconut oil should be as clear as water. However, its color may vary slightly depending upon its processing. Virgin coconut oil has a very good taste and smell, like that of fresh coconuts, since it is derived from fresh coconuts and is subjected to very low, if not totally nil, heat and sunlight. It is also not refined. This preserves all the natural goodness of this oil, including a high content of vitamin-E and minerals, which are otherwise almost completely robbed from ordinary coconut oil during processes like heating, filtration, refining, and bleaching, which are done to make it colorless and odorless. Furthermore, virgin coconut oil is very effective as a moisturizing agent. Its antioxidant properties are far better than those of normal coconut oil.
APPLICATIONS Captive screws are fasteners designed to remain attached to guards or equipment. A conventional screw typically passes through a clearance hole in one part and then screws into a threaded hole in a second part â?? so the first part is clamped to the second.
APPLICATIONS What are shoulder screws used for? Much like all other screws, shoulder screws are meant to hold objects together and in a particular position. However, these screws are designed for use in parts which requires a mounting pin, joint, shaft, dowel, pivot, or sliding motion.
APPLICATIONS A variety of sealing screws, which are designed to seal out contaminants and prevent leaks. Sealing fasteners are made of corrosionresistant metals, such as stainless steel and steel alloys, titanium, or Brass and Monel. This means they can easily be cleaned and are impervious to alcohol and other disinfectants.
APPLICATIONS Pan head wood screws are usedtofasten flat materials to timber. Panheads are like round heads, trussheads, and binding heads, althoughpan heads have largely replaced theseother heads in modern screws
APPLICATIONS Pan head screws are often used to secure metal components, such as machinery and automotive parts and accessories, such as license plates and head lights. Pan head screws are a common head type of non-countersunk screw head used to secure and fasten insulation. They have wide heads, a flat bearing surface, and a flat or slightly domed top surface with a recessed socket.
APPLICATIONS A vented screw features a hollow core (has ahole drilled through it) and are speciallydesigned to allow the release of gases,contaminants, and pressure through thefastener. Vented Screws are widely usedwithin vacuum systems and enable faster, more efficient pump-down of HV, UHV, andEUV systems.
STAINLESS STEEL (A2) APPLICATIONS Screw threads have several applications: Fastening: Fasteners such as wood screws, plastic screws, machine screws, nuts, and bolts. Connecting threaded pipes and hoses to each other and to caps and fixtures
APPLICATIONS Socket head cap screws are widely usedin industrial production and assembly lines,including in the automotive sector, machinetooling applications and steel fabrication. Sockethead cap screws are typically used in machineparts, die fixturing, and clamping. Socket head capscrews are ideal for applications in which there isnot enough space to maneuver wrenches orsockets.
APPLICATIONS Thread rolling screws are designed forreliable and secure fastening intomaterials such as plastic. They have atrilobular lobed cross-section, and formthreads in pre-existing holes by pushingmaterial outward during installation
SECURITY 2 HOLE/SNAKE EYE PAN HEAD SCREWS APPLICATIONS These versatile security screws areideal for a wide range of applicationsand are often used to secure glasspanels and sign-age in place in bothindoor and outdoor locations
APPLICATIONS Mushroom Head Screws are wide headed, lower profile screws with a traditional slot drive. Theyare used for bolting softer materials and areusually manufactured with a full thread. Theseheads, which have a slight circular shape wherethe slots cross, provide a larger mating surfacebetween the screw and the screwdriver
