ARaymond lightweight – the challenge of joining

Lightweight materials and design have become an increasingly important topic in the automotive industry, where driving
dynamics are a major consideration.

Lightweight fastening and joining

At ARaymond our R&D departments develop fastening solutions to join or assemble lightweight materials such as aluminum, magnesium, composite, and new generations of steel. Our light and functional fasteners contribute to reduce weight. With a technical analysis of your current solution, we can find new fastening solutions corresponding to your specific requirements.
We design products, processes and services for lightweight applications. For instance, our bonding solutions allow easy fastener attachments on lightweight materials (composite, plastics, painted thin metals, etc.) and hybrid assemblies with no weakening of the substrate and watertight assemblies. Fastening of anchor points on composite floors or chassis, metal exterior trim attachments, bumpers, spoilers or composite panels are facilitated thanks to TechBond®PUR adhesive. Our experts take into account your needs and your manufacturing methods and processes to design customized assembly solutions responding to lightweight challenges.
