For years, MasterPlate has dominated as the go-to non-mechanical fastener for use in bonding composite materials. MasterPlate is a cost-effective, secure, and continuously reliable method for surface bonding using adhesives rather than welding or drilling techniques. Now, MasterPlate is shaking things up, and just released a brand-new, redesigned era with Adhesive Thickness Control properties.

What’s New?

A brand-new spacer design on the baseplate ensures that every kind of pressure applied during the installation process is evenly distributed across the whole baseplate area to ensure correct bonding. This state-of-the-art technology allows users to save about 43% of glue used in the application process, which is an incredible cost saver.

Not only this, but the new MasterPlate design allows less glue application and increased pull-out strength, up to 83% improved over previous tests. This new product line will replace the existing MasterPlate line on the market and become standard in Specialinsert’s production.

How Can MasterPlate be Used?

Of course, these advances in technology mean that Specialinsert’s products can now be used in even more professional settings. The MasterPlate innovation gave Specialinsert an IATF 1694 certification, meaning that Specialinsert is now a qualified partner for all OEM and tier-1 uses in the automotive market.

MasterPlate can be used for a wide variety of surface bonding tasks on myriad surfaces, including:

• Composites
• Fiberglass
• Carbon fiber
• Molding compounds
• Plastics
• Laminated timber
• Stone
• And much more!

Custom baseplates, fastener types, and thread/body lengths can even be developed and produced to order. Now, with MasterPlate’s brand-new adhesive-saving base design, you can create the perfect fastener for any project and save resources while doing it. Now that’s innovation for the future!
