Master-Plate®, type DRP
The surface bonding fastener, through hole plate type Master-Plate® DRP is a metal nut that can be glued on all kinds of material from composites, metal, wood, thermoplastic plasticsnatural stone up to glass.
Also available with blind hole plate as type DRC.
Description
The Specialinsert® surface bonding fastener, through hole plate type MasterPlate® DRP is an open metal nut that can be glued on all kinds of material from composites, metal, wood, thermoplastic plasticsnatural stone up to glass. The advantage of the open plate is that it can receive a long bolt that can be screwed all the way through the base plate. The closed type DRC has a blind base plate wich has the advantage that no glue can introduce itself in the innerthread of the nut while glueing.
The standard nuts start from M3 to M10, in steel zinc plating or stainless steel 316L.
Thanks to the perforated base plate, the Master Plate® will be firmly anchored to the receiving material as the adhesive flows thrue the perforations.
Other combinations remain possible as Specialinsert® welds all pieces in their own factory!

How strong is the bond?
Strength depends on the adhesive, the substrate, surface preparation, and bonding area. Correct surface prep is essential and testing is advized. The factory can test if samples are provided in Italy.
Can they handle vibrations?
With the right adhesive applied in the rigth circumstances, bonded fasteners can perform well under vibration loads.
What materials can they be bonded to?
They are typically used on composites, plastics, metal panels, honeycomb structures, carbon fiber, and thin sheet materials.
Which adhesives are recommended?
Usually structural adhesives like epoxy, methacrylate or polyurethane. Give us more info about the application and in cooperation with a adhesive manufacturer, we can provide specific adhesive guidelines.
Are the bonding fasteners always on stock?
For the best-selling items, of course, yes. For the other dimensions, the individual stainless steel components are very often in stock at the factory and only still need to be welded, so you should count on a minimum quantity of 200 pieces and a delivery time of 3 to 4 weeks. For the zinc-plated steel versions, the minimum quantity is 500 pieces due to the galvanizing process, which results in a longer delivery time of 5 to 6 weeks.
