FIBREBOLT® consists of a pultruded stud with threads cut in a glass mat reinforced outer layer (the center of the stud is unidirectionally reinforced for high strength) and a molded nut. FIBREBOLT® does not possess the thread shear strength of steel, but has sufficient strength to be a viable alternative in structures where fastener corrosion is a concern or where metal fasteners are not permitted (antennae housings, computer equipment testing structures, etc.).
