Peel-Type Blind Rivet

Peel-type blind rivets are fasteners designed for joining soft sheet materials, including wood, plasterboard and various types of plastic. Their distinctive feature is the special shape of the set head: it opens out in petals, providing even pressure on the material and a secure rivet fixation.

This prevents deformation and cracking of soft materials. Such fasteners can be installed with access from one side only, using a special tool.

Design features

The rivet body (sleeve) is made of aluminium, the mandrel of steel: this configuration is suitable for installation in soft materials. Product characteristics:

• Availability of a flange with standard or enlarged diameter – the enlarged diameter minimizes the impact on the material.
• Product length – from 8 to 20 mm.
• Body diameter – 4 or 4.8 mm.

Peel-type rivets are used in furniture manufacturing, finishing work and other applications. They provide strong, permanent joints between various materials.
