Fabrico Targets Metal Fastener Alternatives

Materials converter Fabrico announced a focused initiative in bonding, joining, and sealing applications.

“Through engineered materials and packaged adhesives, Fabrico offers its customers more effective and flexible alternatives to metal fasteners that enhance product design, performance, and economy,” the company stated. “In addition to converted adhesive film and foam parts, the new business unit will offer liquid adhesives and dispensers.”

Fabrico’s bonding, joining and sealing capabilities incorporate product engineering, die cut adhesives, and liquid adhesives. Product engineering includes full application assessment, product development, materials engineering and sourcing, prototyping, and testing to meet performance and cost objectives. Material die-cutting and converting capabilities include thin film and high strength bonding adhesive materials converted from bulk rolls or adhesive laminate sheets into finished products, which include adhesive foam tapes and die-cut, adhesive backed parts.

In addition, Fabrico plans to offer packaging and distribution of liquid adhesives including epoxies, one- and two-part silicones, cyanoacrylate adhesives, anaerobic adhesives, and other single and plural component adhesive products.

The new business unit features applications for a variety of adhesives, including adhesives for low surface energy plastics, adhesives for harsh environments, high-strength adhesives, and large surface area bonding adhesives.
