UsageDrive fasteners, also called canoe clips or plastic rivets, secure panels and trim by a press-fit manual installation and can be removed with pliers for maintenance. Suitable for automotive, appliance, HVAC and general industrial panel fastening.
Advantages- Reusable: removable and reinstallable without damaging panel or fastener.
- Abrasion and corrosion resistance: selected variants specify validated corrosion performance.
- Electrical insulation: plastic variants provide dielectric separation for electrical applications.
- Temperature and impact resistance: typical service range approx. -20°C to +85°C depending on material grade.
Varieties- Material grades: PA6, PA66, PA66 special grades, PC, PP, TPE, PUR and blends.
- Colors & finishes: natural, black, white and custom colors on request.
- Shapes & sizes: multiple head diameters, body geometries, hole diameters and lengths; standard and custom designs.
Applications- Automotive: bumpers, interior/exterior trims, seats, body panels.
- Home appliances: appliance panels and covers.
- HVAC: ducts, housings and panel fixation.
- Construction & metal assemblies: panel fastening and light structural assemblies.
