2. Rivet body material: Should be compatible with the materials to be joined to resist galvanic corrosion which may result in reduction of joint strength. If dissimilar materials are widely separated on the galvanic chart, it is advisable to separate them with a dielectric material such as paint or other coating. 

Blind Rivets (open or closed end): The are are used for blind fastening where there is no access to the opposite side of the work.

Bulb-Tite Rivets Shown above. The Bulb-Tite rivet body folds into three separate legs forming a large blind-side head. This large bearing head evenly distributes the Bulb-Tite's clamp force in soft, thin or brittle materials while providing high pull-through resistance. The Bulb-tite's wide grip range enables a single Bulb-Tite to work in a greater variation of thicknesses.

Buttonhead Rivets (open end, blind / pop rivets / break-stem rivets). The are are used for blind fastening where there is no access to the opposite side of the work. These have a low profile head diameter which is about twice the rivet body diameter, providing adequate bearing surface.

Closed End Rivets: These are moisture resistant due to the closed end and tight seal. They also have greater shear strength. Sizes are 1/8 to1/4" diameter.

Extra-Long / Metric Rivets We provide metric blind rivets according to DIN7337 standards in 3mm, 4mm and 5mm diameters. Standard material is Aluminum/Steel. Stainless Steel 304 and 316 alloys are available upon special request. All dimensions for Metric Series are given in millimeters. Additional diameters of 4.8mm, 6mm and 6.4mm available on special request.

Large Flange Rivets provide greater bearing surface for fastening soft and brittle facing materials and oversize facing holes. Multi-Grip Rivets have extended grip range capacity. They reduce the inventory of sizes needed to keep on hand.

Mega-Grip Rivets The Mega-Grip rivet is a high strength structural blind rivet offering several advantages over conventional blind rivets. Mega-Grip's wide grip range enables a single Mega-Grip to replace up to five different lengths of standard rivets. High shear strength is achieved by Mega-Grip's flush break self plugging mandrel. Mega-Grip rivets are hole-filling, resulting in tighter joints and improved sealing for weather resistance. Mega-Grip rivets are installed via standard rivet tools and do not require special nose tips.

Multi Grip Rivets rivets have a wider grip range than standard blind rivets and several other advantages. The "bulbing" action of a multigrip blind rivet ensures complete hole fill even in oversized, irregular or misaligned holes, provides high clamp-up and high shear strength and ensures positive stem (mandrel) retention, plugging the end of the rivet body and providing a vibration and weather-proof seal. Due to the Multi-Grip blind rivets extended grip range capacity, Multi Grip Rivets reduce the inventory of sizes needed to keep on hand. We stock aluminum-steel Multi grip rivets. PolyGrip multi-grip rivets feature a wide grip range, enabling a single PolyGrip to replace up to three different lengths of standard blind rivets. PolyGrip rivets expand radially, filling the application hole, resulting in tighter joints and improved sealing. The PolyGrip's locked mandrel core creates a weather resistant fastener. Improved material support is provided by the PolyGrip's larger blindside head formation. Large flange head style available upon request.

Open End Rivets: These are the standard design and are available in a wide variety of sizes and materials, for most any application.

Plastic Rivets: Precision Molded, all nylon. Secure lock feature prevents pull-out. Used for fastening plastic to plastic, plastic to metal or fiberglass.

Peel Rivets: These form a large curled underside connection (banana peel). They are used in metal roofing and to adhere where backside access is not possible and a larger clamping surface is needed.

Rivet Materials: The rivet body alloy, in addition to being chosen for strength requirements, should also be selected for compatibility with the materials to be joined to avoid galvanic corrosion caused by coupling dissimilar metals. If dissimilar metals are widely separated on the galvanic chart, it is advisable to separate them with a dielectric material such as paint or other coating.
