Fastener Replacement Assessment
Fewer fasteners. Faster assembly. Lower cost per build.
We help manufacturers reduce assembly complexity and cost by identifying where engineered adhesive tape solutions can replace mechanical fasteners — without sacrificing strength or durability.
Mechanical fasteners add weight, slow assembly, and create potential failure points. Every screw, rivet, and clip is a part to manage, a step in the process, and a stress concentration in the finished product. In applications where adhesive tape can do the same job — bonding interior panels, trim, headliners, mirrors, cabinetry, and exterior components — the case for conversion is straightforward.
ICS conducts a fastener replacement assessment of your assembly process. We walk the line, identify every mechanical attachment point that is a candidate for tape conversion, and evaluate the substrate, load requirements, and environment. From there we spec the right adhesive solution for each application.
The result is a simpler build, a lighter product, and a lower cost per unit — with bonds engineered to last.
