Saima Corporation (Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture) will add two colors, neon peach and neon lemon, to their inventory lineup as new products for their original product, the ultra-low head screw "310 Slim(R)" in stainless steel. Sales of these new colored screws will begin from June 21, and customers can purchase as little as one piece.

These colored screws for the aesthetically appealing "310 Slim" were developed in response to the demand for such products. While black and bronze-colored screws have been available in their inventory, the addition of these two bright and highly visible fluorescent colors in stainless steel allows for various applications. The product features a special treatment where fluorescent paint is applied to the head. It is also possible to color screws made of materials other than stainless steel, such as iron and aluminum.

The "310 Slim" is a fastener with an even lower head height than conventional low head cap screws. By reducing the height of the head, it enables a flat design without interference. The head height of the M3 size is only 0.8 mm. Due to its outstanding design, it was awarded the 2022 Good Design Award by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.

310 Slim Stainless A2 in the colors "Neon Peach" (SH01XXXA2NP) and "Neon Lemon" (SH01XXXA2NL) will be available in the following sizes: M4x6-25, M5x8-30, M6x8-40.
