Plastic Blind Rivet for Rivet Gun

Plastic rivets are a special type of fastener used for joining soft or brittle materials, for which metal rivets cannot be used. They are installed using a rivet gun, and single-sided access is sufficient for installation.

Such fasteners consist of a body and a mandrel; installation requires a pre-drilled hole in the material with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener body. The resulting joint is non-detachable and can withstand static and dynamic loads, as well as vibration.

Design features

Plastic rivets are made from corrosion-resistant polymer materials, with product dimensions ranging from 4×8 to 6×12 mm. The body is fitted with a flange of standard diameter for fixing in the hole. Manufacturing features:

• Thickness of materials being joined – from 5 to 9 mm.
• Flange height can range from 1.2 to 1.5 mm.
• Flange diameter – from 9 to 13 mm.

Application options

Plastic rivets are widely used in industry and construction. They are used in instrument making, mechanical engineering, automobile assembly and other fields. They are also widely used in construction: for installing window reveals, cable ties, fastening ventilated facades, mounting various advertising structures, and more. Plastic rivets are used to install hose clamps, hole covers and much more. The joint gains increased resistance to corrosion and vibration.

FLOK supplies plastic rivets in a wide range of sizes, in wholesale batches of any volume.
