Revolutionary New Tool for Contractors and Craftspeople Alike

Chem-Set has Released Keep-Nut, a New Press in Self-Anchoring Threaded Insert.

May 12, 2015

The adhesives experts at Chemical Concepts are pleased to announce yet another fastening solution that’s sure to reduce the time and effort put into ensuring a strong and reliable bond. It’s the “Keep-Nut” from in-house brand, Chem–Set, designed specifically with strength and convenience in mind.

With the capacity to withstand up to 300 kilograms of pressure, yet the convenience of an easy-to use threaded design, Chem-Set’s Keep-Nut capably balances the best of both worlds. Interested professionals in the countertop and construction industries can sample the Keep-Nut product by requesting a free trial pack sample, available for a limited time through Chemical Concepts Inc.

Chemical Concepts Sales Manager, Craig Zelle stated, “This is a development that adds a measure of innovation to the entire construction market, be it at the hands of a stone fabricator or an interior designer.” He continued, “Providing for unequaled convenience while not compromising strength and durability, the Keep-Nut is a revolutionary product with the ability to save our customers time and money.”

Additional benefits of Keep-Nut include quick assembly without the need for adhesives, as well as ease of use with CNC machines and standard tools. The Keep-Nut allows for an internal assembly with no external pieces, as well as without any tensile force on the receiving material when the insert isn’t being pulled out.

Assembling Chem-Set’s Keep-Nut is as simple as applying pressure. The application process involves three basic steps: preparing the hole in the receiving material, ensuring the correct hold dimensions with a Go/no go gauge and installing the Keep-Nut with pressure. The Keep-Nut is ideal for use on under mount sinks and countertops, stone surfaces as well as glass, ventilated facades, wall-coverings, décor and interiors, furniture, and kitchen and sanitary elements.

Its press-in insert with mechanical anchoring is comprised of stainless steel and comes with a set of elastic crowns and a plastic ring for housing the complete assembly. Keep-Nut’s design and application also points to the potential for new products that leverage this patented fastening system in different materials and industries, an expansion that’s sure to come as the Keep-Nut line evolves and proves valuable. For more information about Keep-Nut or to inquire about the tree trial pack sample, interested parties can call 1-800-220-1966.
