What is Adhesive Bonded Technology?

Click Bond was founded nearly 40 years ago on the belief that holes don’t belong on an aircraft. Holes weaken substrates, allow for leak paths and galvanic corrosion, increase installation costs, and more. Our founders took a whole new approach, eliminating the need for holes by inventing our patented adhesive bonded technology.

To install a traditional nutplate, you need three holes: the bolt hole plus two rivet holes to install the nutplate and hold it in place. However, with our adhesive bonded nutplate, you only need one hole for the bolt.

Our fasteners rely on our line of industry-leading structural adhesives, eliminating the need for rivets, drilled installation holes, welding, or hot work associated with traditional fasteners. The adhesive bondline creates a powerful barrier between the fastener and substrate, ultimately offering numerous benefits to our customers in terms of performance, time, and costs.
