The standard blind break-mandrel rivet consists of two components, a rivet body and mandrel. The body is deformed when the rivet is set and it is this part which clamps the materials together. The mandrel is therefore always stronger than the body. When materials are clamped together in a correct way, the mandrel breaks off at it's specific breaking point at the right moment.

Closed-end blind rivets and their advantages:

Closed-end blind rivets offer higher shear and tensile strengths, good vibration resistance, **0% mandrel ball retention and a water resistant seak when installed in a defect-free hole.

Applications:

• shipbuilding industry,
• containers,
• airconditioning,
• coach work.

In our offer we also have coloured rivets. Colourful rivets can be used for more applications: coachwork, cladding in metal and plastic, sun shades, window frames, etc.
