Widely used in wind turbine blade manufacturing and composite boat building, RAPTOR® Staples and Nails compliment any composites application utilizing RTM, VARTM, pre-preg, fiberglass mat, carbon fiber mat or SCRIMP® lay-up, and any other composites application. It is not necessary to remove RAPTOR® fasteners because they will not corrode or delaminate, and interfacial bonding is excellent.
