Plastic Rivets

 (29 product groups)

What are plastic rivets and what are they used for?

A rivet is a mechanical fastener used for joining two panels, or multiple objects together. It is made up of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head at one end. To install the rivet, the end without the head is inserted through a hole in both of the objects to be joined and the head is then hammered or pressed onto the exposed end. This expands the shaft, creating a tight and secure joint.

Plastic rivets tend to be cylindrical, headed fasteners that can be either pushed or pressed into place when securing items together as permanent fastening solutions and are actually used all around us across a whole host of applications.

What are the benefits of choosing plastic rivets?

Plastic offers a number of benefits over metal rivets, such as:

  • They are lightweight, making them easier to transport and install.
  • They are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
  • They are non-conductive and non-sparking, making them safer to work with.
  • They provide easy assembly properties and are easy to remove, requiring minimal tools.
  • They are cost-effective.
  • They create a strong and secure joint without damaging the material.
