Potted-In Insert Styles, Specifications & Approvals
Composite Potted-In Inserts are used to attach and fasten honeycomb sandwich structures. These are commonly referred to as "Wall Panel Inserts" or "Floating Inserts" because they are widely used in aircraft walls and stowage bins to fasten panels to the aircraft structure. However, potted inserts can be used anywhere a fastener is desired, particularly where blind holes that do not pass all the way through the panel are needed or where inserts must be "flush" with the panel skin. Once the hole is drilled and insert installed, epoxy resin is injected, thereby bonding the insert in place. The core and face skins become one rigid unit.
Made from a high-tech composite thermoplastic, our inserts are corrosion free, light weight, high strength, and low cost. When it comes to composite fasteners, Marketing Masters is the standard for every major airline OEM.
