Avdelmate®

A two-piece breakstem fastener consisting of a rivet and tubular section which provide a wide grip range, controlled clamp and a large bearing area on both sides of the application.

Overview

The Avdel Avdelmate^® rivet is a two-piece wide-grip, breakstem fastener suitable for a range of applications in soft, thin sheet and brittle materials. The Avdelmate fastener brand is a new extension to the Avdel rivet portfolio that provides a targeted solution in certain niche market applications.
