Reclosable fasteners

The Dual Lock(TM)Low Profile Reclosable Fastener, used to secure panels, frames, electronic devices, ceiling panels, and more, doesn't leave empty holes like mechanical fasteners can, and it's reported to be stronger than hook-and-loop fasteners. It also features a thin profile, light weight, clear color, flexibility, and vibration damping features. When pressed together, thousands of mushroom heads interlock creating an audible snap. These pieces are self-mating and don't require male and female parts.

Magnet bonding

The company's material 671 is reported to be the only structural adhesive that combines a fast cure at room temperature (30-60 secs) and gap filling ability-up to 0.2 inches. It is recommended for bonding magnets to frames in brush-type dc electric motors where gaps between the magnet and frame are common. Production rates can be increased when this material is used in place of slow curing, two-part, or heat-cured epoxies. It is 1:1 mixable, non-flammable, and reported to be environmentally friendly (100% solids).
