A NOTE OF COLOUR: RIVIT BLIND RIVETS

Blind rivets are a fastening system that allows making rapid and blind joints, working from one side of the workpiece only. This fastener is simple and rapid to install. In fact, the blind rivet is installed in just three phases: insertion into the hole, deformation of the rivet body and breaking of the mandrel.

Blind rivets come with different types of head: dome, countersunk or large. They are produced and distributed in various lengths, diameters, and of course in different materials: aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, stainless steel, cupro-nickel, monel.
Also, blind rivets can be made in all RAL table colours, to ensure a beautiful aesthetical result even when directly applied on painted surfaces, for applications needing a solid and aesthetically beautiful fastening.

The most commonly used RAL colours are gray white (RAL9002), chocolate brown (RAL8017), moss green (RAL6005), oxide red (RAL3009), and colors such as antique copper, anthracite gray, copper-colored ideal for fastenings aluminum laminates.

The copper body blind rivets can came with their mandrel in steel, brass or bronze, and they are an optimal solution for fastenings on copper bodies.
Cupronickel blind rivets (90% copper plus 10% nickel alloy) are widely used in roofing because they are more easily soldered in fastenings on stainless steel parts.

For the installation of blind rivets, there are the specific Rivit riveting tools, which can be either hydropneumatic, cordless or hand ones.
