How do you calculate plastic bolt strength? Looking for tensile, shear... strength.
So far the formula that was found I believe it is for metal material.

Here is a brief discussion of creep in some common nylon compounds. Creep can be reduced by adding reinforcing fibers to the plastic compound, like the glass fibers added to the polyester/epoxy of these bolts.
Hope that helps.

Note that most successful high volume applications of plastics with threads, like toothpaste tube caps, radiator caps, radiator overflow tank caps, oil filler plugs, stuff like that, use fairly coarse buttress threads of some form, often in an interrupted thread configuration to facilitate molding.

Your application may have a more limited operating temperature range, but in general, you have to analyze plastics at all temperatures within both operating and storage conditions.
