Bonding insert for sandwich panel
bigHead Bonding Fasteners
bigHead fasteners can be bonded with adhesive to the outer or inner sandwich panel skin, or even both skins, to provide a secure and flexible fastening connection.
The bigHead fasteners attracted a lot of interest at the recent Euro Composites show in Germany where many visitors were looking for simple and effective ways to fix to sandwich panels.
As sandwich panel technology has continued to find more applications in a wider range of industries, so the problem of how to effectively fix to them has grown. Inserts designed for solid plastic do not work with lightweight honeycomb structures, and rivets can place too much stress on a small area of the panel skin. Bonding fasteners work well as they distribute the load through a wide area of the skin. bigHead fasteners can be surface bonded with a wide range of adhesives.
