Plastic Rivets

 (30 product groups)

What are plastic rivets & what are they used for?

Plastic rivets, also known as pop rivets, snap rivets or push-in rivets, are fasteners made from plastic materials. They are designed to securely join two or more components together without the need for screws, nuts, or bolts. They work by inserting one end into a hole or opening in the materials to be joined.

They are frequently employed for tasks like securing panels together, plugging holes, acting as buffers, or securely affixing items such as cable clamps.

Application & Industries

Plastic rivets find application in a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, furniture, and aerospace. They are commonly used for assembling interior components in vehicles, securing panels on electronic devices, and fastening various parts in household appliances.

One of the key advantages of plastic rivets is their ease of installation, which often requires minimal tools, and therefore easily installed by hand. They are also lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for environments where metal fasteners may not be ideal. Additionally, plastic rivets are available in different sizes and designs to accommodate various applications.
