High Retention

High Retention rivets offer a high-strength fastening solution that is ideal for thin materials. The secondary side expansion creates a large bulb resulting in impressive load spreading abilities which in turn increase the shear and tensile strengths. The design minimizes damage to the application when being set such as in thin sheet metals where traditional blind rivets can wrinkle or distort the panels. The mandrel is retained in the rivet body with high force both before and after the rivet has been set, providing a rattle free joint that performs well in high temperature applications.
