SAN DIEGO – Utility Composites will introduce the Raptor XF composite nail for use in harder substrate standard Raptor fasteners at Wood Pro Expo California, co-located with the Closets Expo. The co-located shows take place April 28-29 at the San Diego Convention Center.

“Many woodworking professionals have indicated the need for better performance from Raptor (fasteners) when working with harder woods,” said Pam Tucker Ph.D. and VP of Utility Composites. “After much research and product testing, we have developed a new formulation we call Raptor XF. Raptor XF significantly improves drivability in harder woods when compared to our standard Raptor products without sacrificing the benefits gained with our standard products.”  

Raptor FX, like standard Raptor composite staples, nails, and specialty fasteners, can be cut and sanded without damaging router bits, saw blades, and sanding belts. They also provide complete corrosion resistance while accepting stains or paints.

See the new Raptor FX composite nail at booth #702. Learn more at raptornails.com.
