Keep-Nut® is a press-in threaded insert that utilises a mechanical anchoring feature, to provide permanent threads in panels made of marble, granite or other stones, as well as composites, carbon, Corian®, HPL, glass and others solid surface materials. Keep-Nut is manufactured in stainless steel and consists of a threaded bush, a set of toothed spring washers (crowns), and a plastic ring holding the parts together. Keep-Nut inserts have several advantages compared to other fasteners for stone and solid materials. The preparation needed is just a cylindrical hole – an undercut hole is not required – which means that standard tools can be used.

Master-Plate® bonding fasteners are available in a combination of base plate styles, in stud, standoff and nut configurations. Master-Plate is a cost effective, secure and reliable method of integrating male or female threads into composite, fibreglass, laminate and carbon fibre applications. Master-Plate is suitable for surface bonding using adhesive or embedding during the forming process. Master-Plate is ideal for fibre composites, fibreglass, carbon fibre, moulding compounds, plastics, laminated timber, stone etc.

Deform-Nut ® creates a threaded fixing point in sandwich panel materials with a honeycomb or composite internal structure and avoids the use of expensive or complex solutions such as resin potting or bonding of bushes and tie rods. Deform-Nut allows you to use the same type of product in a wide range of sandwich panel materials and thicknesses, is easy and quick to install, doesn't require any further processes or finishing after installation. Deform-Nut can be used in any composite material panel, resins, carbon fibre, light alloy, and more.
