Streamline Manufacturing, and Simplify Repairs
The LoMas™ Screw Provides Up to 50% in Weight Savings
The LoMas™ screw is a revolutionary family of lightweight threaded fastener designs focused on delivering weight reduction in non-structural applications such as systems routing and interior component installations. No special tools or practices are required for installation.
The key to our LoMas screw product is its hollow shank. This “low mass” construction is accomplished through a proprietary deep-draw manufacturing process that delivers excellent material utilization and unparalleled strength-to-weight properties.
The LoMas screw includes a captive washer that reduces part count and minimizes the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD). Fewer parts also mean reduced labor costs and streamlined assembly.
Adhesive-Bonded Rapid Repair Solution for Leaking Fasteners and Light Damage.
Click Patch® adhesive-bonded patches offer economical, rapid repair of leaking fasteners in wet wing aircraft, skin punctures, and other light damage.
Our patches can be applied directly over an active, running leak without the requirement for defueling and are available in metallic and composite materials for optimal compatibility with a variety of common substrates.
The Click Patch is an FAA-approved standard repair appearing in the service manuals for a variety of commercial and military aircraft and supports operators worldwide with a reliable solution delivering increased dispatch rates and reduced aircraft downtime.

ACRES® Sleeves, the Economical Solution for Oversized Holes
Click Bond ACRES® sleeves offer a cost-effective solution for delivering enhanced structural fatigue life and engineered repairs. Their deep-drawn method of manufacture delivers unmatched performance and precision.
These thin-wall, deep-drawn stainless steel sleeves are designed to prevent oversize hole conditions resulting from corrosion, manufacturing error, or in-service fatigue and address them when they occur.
Adhesive-Bonded, Rivetless Nutplpates, Minimized Drilled Holes
Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded rivetless nutplates eliminate the drilling of attachment rivet holes traditionally associated with nutplate installation, preserving structural integrity and longevity, enabling weight savings, and reducing installation, rework, and repair time and cost.
All Click Bond nutplates conform to the performance requirements of NASM25027 and other high-performance OEM specifications including those requiring 50 cycle reusability with stainless steel or titanium bolts. Click Bond adhesive-bonded nutplates are FAA TSO approved, allowing direct substitution for traditional riveted nutplates.
Adhesive-Bonded Standoffs Preserve Structural Integrity
Adhesive-bonded standoffs are suited for applications where separation between systems or components and structure is required. An extensive range of standoffs is available in multiple lengths and thread sizes with options for locking and non-locking threads.
Internally-fixtured standoffs allow for installation in constrained footprint applications while reducing disposable waste and eliminating the step of fixture removal following adhesive cure.
Adhesive-Bonded Studs, no Holes Required
Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded studs permit clamped attachment of wire bundles and tubing to structure where a through-bolt and nut combination is undesirable or impossible. They are also well suited for securing junction boxes, enclosures, or other modular equipment.
Click Bond studs are available in a variety of metal and composite materials and include installation fixtures that promote accurate positioning and hold the fastener under positive pressure while the adhesive cures, optimizing bond strength. Both internal and external fixtures are conducive to automated or robotic installation for high-volume applications.
Adhesive-Bonded Mounts Eliminate the Need for Drilling
Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded mounts offer enhanced design flexibility for routing of systems and protective blankets in both new construction and retrofit applications. Bonded attachment eliminates drilling and the resulting compromises to structural integrity, cost, and restrictions arising from stress considerations.
Mounts are available with baseplates and bodies manufactured from a variety of metallic and non-metallic materials. The thermoplastic saddles of cable-tie mounts are available in swivel and fixed options with some models offering a latching hasp. Nutplate mounts allow retention of tubing and wire bundles with clamps.
These are just a few of the hundreds of Click Bond fastening solutions, which have been specifically engineered for Aerospace and Defense.
