Click Bond: Innovative Adhesive-Bonded Fasteners for a Safer and Smarter World
Click Bond is a leading manufacturer of innovative adhesive-bonded fasteners that provide flexible fastening solutions for air, sea, land, and industrial applications. The company was founded in 1987 by John W. Karas, who invented the Click Bond technology to solve the problem of attaching equipment to aircraft without drilling holes in the structure.
Today, Click Bond has grown into a global company with over 300 employees and facilities in Nevada, Connecticut, and the United Kingdom. The company's mission is to make products lighter, stronger, faster, safer, and smarter by providing innovative fastening solutions that prevent corrosion and reduce maintenance costs.
One of Click Bond's core technologies is its adhesive bonding process. This process involves applying an adhesive to both surfaces that need to be bonded together and then curing it under pressure or heat. The result is a strong bond that can withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations without loosening or breaking.
Click Bond offers a wide range of adhesive-bonded fasteners for various applications such as aerospace, defense, marine transportation systems (MTS), industrial machinery & equipment (IME), medical devices & equipment (MDE), automotive & transportation systems (ATS) among others.
Aerospace: Click bond provides innovative solutions for aerospace applications such as attaching seats to aircraft floors without drilling holes in the structure which reduces weight while increasing safety standards.
Defense: In defense applications where reliability is critical; click bond provides high-performance bonding solutions for military vehicles like tanks or armored personnel carriers(APCs).
Marine Transportation Systems(MTS): For MTS application click bond offers corrosion-resistant bonding solutions which are ideal for use on ships' decks or hulls where saltwater exposure can cause significant damage over time.
Industrial Machinery & Equipment(IME): In IME application click bond provides vibration-resistant bonding solutions which are ideal for use on heavy machinery like turbines or generators where vibrations can cause damage over time if not properly secured.
Medical Devices & Equipment(MDE): For MDE application click bond offers biocompatible bonding solutions which are ideal for use on medical devices like pacemakers or implants where compatibility with human tissue is essential.
Automotive & Transportation Systems(ATS): In ATS application click bond provides lightweight bonding solution which helps reduce fuel consumption while maintaining structural integrity.
The benefits of using Click Bond's adhesive-bonded fasteners include:
1) Reduced weight - By eliminating traditional mechanical fasteners such as bolts or screws; Click bonds' technology reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity.
2) Increased safety - With no drilled holes there are fewer stress points making it safer than traditional mechanical methods.
3) Corrosion resistance - Adhesive bonds provide excellent resistance against corrosion caused by saltwater exposure.
4) Vibration resistance - Adhesive bonds absorb vibration better than traditional mechanical methods reducing wear-and-tear on components.
5) Cost savings - By reducing maintenance costs associated with traditional mechanical methods; companies can save money over time.
In conclusion,
Click Bond has revolutionized the way we think about fastening technology by providing innovative adhesive-bonded fastener solutions that make products lighter yet stronger while also being safer than traditional mechanical methods. With its commitment to quality engineering practices combined with cutting-edge research capabilities; this company continues pushing boundaries towards creating new possibilities within various industries worldwide!
