Plastic rivets - versatile fasteners for the industry

Plastic rivets are indispensable connecting elements in modern industry. As a leading provider of fastening solutions, emico offers an extensive range of high-quality plastic rivets for a wide variety of applications. Below we present the most important types of plastic rivets, their properties and possible applications.

What are plastic rivets? 

Plastic rivets are cylindrical fasteners that permanently join two or more components together. They usually consist of a shank with a head and are installed by pressing them in. The shank deforms plastically and forms a closing head that fixes the connection.

Plastic rivets offer several advantages over metal rivets:

• Light weight
• Electrical insulation
• Corrosion resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Cost-effective
• Simple assembly without special tools
• Vibration-damping

Plastic rivets are particularly suitable for applications where lightness, electrical insulation or corrosion protection are required. They are used in many sectors, e.g. in the automotive, electrical and electronics industry, in mechanical engineering or in the furniture industry.

The extensive product range from emico

As a specialist in fastening technology, emico offers a wide range of plastic rivets for the most diverse requirements:

Push clips and blind rivets

Push clips are ideal for joining panels and can be easily fed through the parts to be joined. Blind rivets are used when only one side of the workpiece is accessible. By tightening the mandrel, the rivet shank is compressed and forms a closing head.

PineTreeClips

Also known as panel fasteners, these elements enable quick installation of panels and sheets. Thanks to their ribbed structure, they provide a secure hold. PineTreeClips are primarily used in the automotive industry as well as in machine and equipment construction.

Snap rivets

Snap rivets are the ideal solution for an easy installation without tools. They can be installed with the press of a thumb and are ideal for fastening boards and panels.

Quick fastener rivets

These two-part quick fasteners offer the advantage that they can be released again if required. They are installed by simply pressing the pin into the socket.

Screw rivets

Screw rivets combine the advantages of rivets and screws. They can be installed like push rivets, but can be removed like a screw - ideal for repair and maintenance work.

Snip & Snap rivets

These innovative two-part rivets are simply clicked together. The Snip & Snap rivets offer quick and tool-free installation.

Push rivets

Push rivets are suitable for a particularly secure connection. They enable blind assembly and can be processed efficiently with a riveting tool for larger quantities.

Drive fasteners

The reusable drive fasteners from emico can be installed using thumb pressure and are suitable for fastening thin-walled materials. They are characterised by their high resistance to wear and vibration.

Riveting tools

emico also offers suitable riveting tools for the simple and efficient processing of rivets.
