Description
Deform-Nut® TC is a threaded insert system rivet-nut system for honeycomb panels/sandwich panels that combines mechanical anchoring and structural adhesive to provide strong load-bearing threads in sandwich panel materials (with a honeycomb or composite internal structure).
Expensive or complex solutions such as resin potting or bonding of bushes and tie rods can be avoided.
Furthermore, 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, and doesn’t require any further processes or finishing after installation.
Deform-Nut TC/DM can be used in any composite material panel, resins, carbon fiber, light alloy, and more.

The 3-stage system comprises of:
- Deform-Nut Insert – A special rivet nut style fastener which is riveted into the top skin of the panel using conventional rivet nut hand or air tooling
- Structural Adhesive – Adhesive is then injected into the base of the rivet nut, which pots the insert in the honeycomb cavity
- Deform-Nut Grub Screw – A separate adjusting nut is then screwed into the Deform-Nut rivet nut until it bottoms out on the bottom skin, displacing the adhesive into the surrounding structure to increase load strength
Installation Instructions:
- Drill the correct hole from one side of the panel (blind hole)
- Recommended Drill Bit: Deform-Nut 13mm Cutter Bit
- Insert the rivet nut in the hole
- Using the rivet nut tool, rivet the Deform-Nut to attach it to the top skin of the sandwich panel
- Recommended Tools:
- Inject structural adhesive
- Recommended Structural Adhesives:
- Insert and screw down the threaded adjusting insert until it reaches the bottom skin of the sandwich panel
- The fastener is ready for use (time to full strength is dependent on the structural adhesive properties of the adhesive used)
