Rivets For Special Applications

Masterfix blind rivets for special applications

In addition to the standard range of blind rivets, Masterfix offers the supply of many other types of blind rivets for specific applications from stock.


Peel Rivets
Peel rivets, as the name suggests, peel back into four petals which role back to provide a low tension clamp load on the materials being joined. Peel rivets are suitable for applications in soft materials such as:

• Wood
• Insulation materials
• Plastics
• Plasterboard

Triform Rivets 
TRIFORM rivets fold up into three smooth sections to create a load spreading three blade propeller shaped tail. Trifrom rivets are made entirely from aluminium and put a controlled clamp force on the joint which ensures that whilst the joint is held secure the materials being joined do not distort or become damaged during assembly. For applications in soft materials such as:

• Wood
• Card
• Insulation
• Plastics
• Plasterboard

Grooved Rivets
Grooved rivets can work in thicker materials and can work with no tail protruding at all on the rear side of the joint making them suitable for applications where a flush finish or neat rear side is important. Annular rings on the outside of the body bite into suitable materials during installation increasing the resistance to being pulled out.  Grooved rivets can be used in materials such as:

• Wood
• Wood composites
• Plastics, e.g. flight cases

HammerDrive Rivets

HAMMERDRIVE drives are installed with a single blow from a hammer, making for very fast assembly of metal to concrete, stone of other similar materials. Ideal where fast, permanent and vandal resistant assembly is required. For applications in materials such as:

• Brick and concrete
• Roofing
• Sealing profiles
• Insulation industry
