Adhesion Technologies Ltd. has developed a range of in-mold bonded fasteners, which reduce build time by eliminating the need for hole-drilling. Trademarked Spida Fixings, these fasteners have been designed to dissipate stress in composite structures, can be epoxy-coated to reduce risk of galvanic corrosion and are used in composite structures made via vacuum. Recently, ATL was approached by an industrial composites manufacturer in the UK that developed a composite solution for railway trackside control cabinets. ATL worked with the manufacturer to redesign the fasteners, switching the previously perforated standoff with an ATL 12-mm 316L Spida Standoff. The Spida Standoff also features a 54% increase in surface bond. ATL is now receiving more requests for technical advice and integration of their fixing solutions into similar composite products.
