Soft-Set Rivets: an innovative solution for fragile materials

Are you looking for an alternative fastening solution for an application on fragile material? Soft-Set rivets could be ideal for you.

Let’s find out together what it is specifically about.

It is an innovative fastening system made up of two components, namely a blind rivet and a semi-perforated rivet body: during setting, the rivet is installed inside the body located on the other side of the component to be fixed.

In this way, both sides will be covered by a very large head, which widens the support surface avoiding breakage of the material. This is why it is ideal for fixing low-resistance materials such as plastic, wood and fibers, without damaging them.

✔ APPLICATION ON FRAGILE MATERIALS

Since the surface that supports the rivet is very large thanks to the wide head, Soft-Set is ideal for use on fragile materials such as wood and plastic, which are not deformed during installation.

✔ THE MANDREL RIMAINS IN THE APPLICATION

After installation, the nail remains inside the application: this guarantees excellent resistance to vibrations. Furthermore, high resistance to corrosion and atmospheric agents can be guaranteed by ad hoc high-performance galvanizing.

✔ LARGE SUPPORT AREA ON EITHER SIDE

The use of wide-head components on both sides of the application allows the setting forces to be distributed evenly, as well as making the components aesthetically pleasing from both angles.

✔ WIDE GRIP RANGE

Thanks to the use of a double body on two sides, it is possible to cover a very wide grip range, which is why this solution is suitable for multiple industries.

Soft-Set rivets are used in several types of applications, including for example:

• Constructions

• Plastics industry

• Scaffolding

• Fiber containers for special transport

• Automotive
