POP Rivet Designed especially for plastics and other brittle or soft materials, this POP rivet has a secondary head that forms large,"folds". This provides a larger bearing surface, resists pull-through or cracking that can occur in some materials with a standard rivet. 

This range of aluminium rivets with aluminium mandrels is designed to offer two particular advantages in joining soft, friable or brittle materials. Its controlled setting gives outstanding reliability and it produces a neat, uniform appearance.

Features

• Clamping loads spread over wide area, avoiding damage to vulnerable materials 
• Tolerance of over-sized holes 
• Corrosion-resistance 
• High-strength aluminium 3.5% magnesium alloy 
• Sets with standard 'POP®' hand riveting tools 
• Limited number of lengths needed because of wide grip range - up to 12.0mm 

Case Study/Applications

'POP®' LSR is perfectly suited to plastics, wood, GRP, laminates and thin gauge materials. It has an important role to play in, for instance, applications such as the assembly of mobile homes and park homes, installation of plastic-framed windows or the manufacture of plywood furniture or timber products such as trailers.

This rivet should be selected whenever the materials to be fastened are so soft or brittle that the tensile force exerted by a conventional rivet would cause damage. Alternatively, use the Soft Set Rivet where smaller secondary head is desired.
