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.
Avdelmate fasteners provide a secure clamp without crushing the parent material and good hole fill due to the radially expanded rivet body. This makes the Avdelmate fastener ideal for stadium seating, furniture, playground equipment and racking applications.

Large bearing area against both sides of the application spreads the tail bearing load/clamp load on the rear sheet to prevent damage
Clamps tightly and securely without crushing parent material
Excellent hole fill via radially expanded rivet body for a strong and vibration resistant joint
Rivet stem retained in tubular component avoids loose stems
Low profile headform on both sides of the application for a neat appearance
