Description
Pure white is the most widely specified white on structural steel, cladding rail systems and commercial metalwork. These 13mm x 4.2mm hex head self-drilling tek bolts in RAL 9010 Pure White are powder coated to match the clean, natural white used across the full breadth of white cladding rail systems, structural steel frameworks and commercial metalwork throughout the UK. On a white steel surface, a bright zinc hex head reads as a grey-metallic interruption that breaks the uniformity of the metalwork immediately.
The self-drilling Tek point cuts directly into light-gauge steel up to 3.0mm thick without pre-drilling. The hex head washer face spreads clamping load across the steel substrate, and the 1/4" hex drive is compatible with standard impact drivers and hex socket nut runners.
These bolts are designed for steel-to-steel fixing applications only. For timber, plastic or composite panel substrates, the flange head self-tapping range is the correct specification.
RAL 9010 Pure White
RAL 9010 Pure White is the standard white across commercial signage, industrial steelwork and general-purpose white structural metalwork throughout the UK. It is a natural, balanced white without the cool blue influence of RAL 9016 Traffic White or the warm cream undertone of RAL 1013 Oyster White, which makes it the default white specification for the widest range of white steel products and cladding rail systems on the market. Alongside jet black and anthracite grey it is one of the three highest-volume colours in the RALfixings range for steel applications.
Each bolt head is powder coated to the exact RAL 9010 Classic standard. All RAL colours in the RALfixings range are held in stock for immediate dispatch without special order lead times.
Suitable Applications
13mm RAL 9010 Pure White hex head self-drilling tek bolts are used across:
- White cladding rail systems and structural steel framing specified in RAL 9010

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to order RAL 9010 Pure White or RAL 9016 Traffic White for my steel structure?
RAL 9010 Pure White is the correct specification for the majority of white steel structures, cladding rail systems and commercial metalwork. RAL 9016 Traffic White is a cooler, brighter white with a slight blue influence, used where maximum brightness is the brief. If your steel structure reads as a natural, balanced white without a strong cool or blue-white quality, RAL 9010 is almost certainly the correct match. If the surface reads as a very sharp, clinical bright white, check against RAL 9016 before ordering.
Do these bolts require pre-drilling?
No. The self-drilling Tek point cuts its own hole and forms the thread as it is driven into the substrate, removing the need to pre-drill. These bolts are rated for light section steel up to 3.0mm thick. For substrates thicker than 3.0mm, a different fixing specification is required.
Can these be used on timber or plastic substrates?
No. These hex head self-drilling tek bolts are designed for steel-to-steel applications only. For timber, plastic or composite panel substrates, the RALfixings flange head self-tapping range is the correct product.
How quickly can you deliver?
RAL 9010 Pure White is held in stock. Most orders dispatch next working day on a tracked 24-hour service. Larger volume orders typically ship within 3 to 5 working days.
Powder Coated Screws
RALfixings exists to give contractors and specifiers access to colour-matched visible fixings without the compromise of bright zinc heads on exposed metalwork. Every fixing in the range is powder coated in-house to exact RAL Classic colour standards, with consistent batch-to-batch colour accuracy across every pack size.
The electrostatic powder coating process deposits a fine layer of thermoset pigment onto the bolt head, which is then cured under heat to form a hard, permanently bonded shell. This finish outperforms wet paint across every measurable category: adhesion, hardness, chip resistance, UV stability and colour consistency across production runs.
Benefits of powder coated hex head tek bolts:
- Scratch resistant
- Rust resistant
- UV resistant
- Weather resistant
- Colourfast
Other Colour Options
These 13mm x 4.2mm hex head self-drilling tek bolts are available in over 60 colour-matched RAL finishes for cladding, roofing and exposed steel metalwork.

Recommended applications
Designed for fixing cladding rails, purlins, and light steel framing to structural steel substrates. The powder-coated hex head matches your panel or cladding RAL precisely, eliminating visible bright metal fixings on exposed metalwork. The self-drilling point removes the need for pre-drilling in light gauge steel.
At 13mm, these bolts are ideal for thin sheet metal connections and light-gauge steel framing where a short fixing length is required. The 1/4" hex drive (6.35mm) is compatible with standard impact drivers and hex socket nut runners.
Not recommended for timber or plastic substrates — use our flange head self tapping range for non-steel applications.
