What is waterproof rivet?

Waterproof lantern rivet is a kind of structural rivet that evolves on the basis of lantern rivet, a rubber washer is added on the back of the brim, which effectively plays a waterproof role, when riveting, the nail core pulls the blind end of the pipe cap into three large lantern-shaped folding strips, clamps the two components that need to be riveted, and the residual nail core closes the center hole of the rivet head.

Rivet Material: Aluminum Alloy

Rivet diameter: 5.2mm,6.4mm,7.5mm

Surface Treatment: Plain

Flange head Type: Flat round head

Structure Type: Lantern type

Advantage Of Waterproof Rivet

1. It is very suitable for thin sheet materials to provide high tensile strength;

2. The riveting range is wide, and it can adapt to the large changes in the thickness of the material;

3. It is very suitable for riveting soft and brittle materials;

4. It has a mechanical locking mechanism, which can provide high-strength and shockproof connection;

5. Provide waterproof sealing under the head;

6. The visible lock can be checked quickly and easily.

 

• The working principle of lantern rivets: when installed and used, the rivet body is deformed and presents a lantern shape, and the rivet body forms three folding feet. Waterproof and anti-corrosion, increase the waterproof design, increase the rubber gasket during use, prevent moisture from invading from under the top cap, and play a good role in waterproof and anti-corrosion.

• High strength of lantern rivets: Another advantage is that the residual core increases the strength of the rivet, and the lantern rivet is not easy to break under the action of a large shear force.

• Lantern rivets are suitable for materials that are difficult to rivet:Some materials and other fasteners cannot be riveted, but lantern rivets can be used effectively and are widely used. During use, three folding feet are formed to disperse the clamping force of the rivet on the riveting surface. This feature makes lantern rivets widely used in plastic products, wood products, glass, rubber, automobile dashboards, automobile exhaust systems, light boxes and other fragile and soft materials, without damaging the riveted materials. It can also be applied to riveting holes with large or irregular shapes.

• Lantern rivet multi-riveting range: With the characteristics of a wide range of riveting, rivets of the same specification can rivet materials of various thicknesses, reducing the specifications and types of rivets and making them easy to use.

• Choice of lantern rivet appearance: There are also a variety of head styles to choose from. These include: round heads, flat heads, large caps, and countersunk heads. We can supply lantern rivets in various colors to match with different color riveting materials. At the same time, it produces a variety of waterproof lantern rivets of different specifications and materials for aluminum alloy doors and windows.

• Material selection: Generally made of various grades of aluminum alloy (such as: 5052, 5154, 5056), with good corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh climate environment.

Borie fasteners's Waterproof lantern rivets are suitable for the connection of metal parts, non-metal parts, and are widely used in automobiles, Commercial vehicles, home appliances, electronics, electrical equipment, general light industry.

The closed lantern blind rivets are available in a range of diameters of 4.8, 6.4 and 7.5 and are made of aluminum, as detailed in the specification table.
