Hydrapeel

Hydrapeel is Cost-effective and efficient method of attaching metal to wood or other soft material without through holes.

In many light engineering and fabrication applications, fastening metal to wood, board, or plastic requires a solution that provides strong holding power without damaging the base material. The Hydrapeel breakstem fastener from Avlock is specifically designed to address this challenge.

Hydrapeel is a peel-type blind rivet that expands into a large bearing surface during installation, allowing secure fastening even in soft or low-density materials. Its expansion behavior is similar to that of a trifold rivet, making it especially effective where load needs to be distributed across fragile surfaces.

With its simple installation process and strong pull-out resistance, Hydrapeel fasteners are widely used in furniture manufacturing, garage doors, and sheet-metal assemblies involving wood or composite materials.

 

Specifications

  • Sizes: 4.3 mm and 4.8 mm (3/16")
  • Materials: Steel
  • Head forms: Dome
  • ‘Peel-type’ tail formation makes it ideal for joining metal to wood, board or low density plastic.
  • Large bearing surface expands into blind hole providing superior pull-out force.
  • Ideal replacement for wood screws or self-tapping screws.
  • Multi-grip capability accommodates wide variations in material thickness.

Hydrapeel breakstem fasteners are designed to securely join several material combinations including:

  • Metal to Wood
  • Metal to Board
  • Metal to Low-Density Plastic

This makes them particularly useful in furniture production and sheet-metal assemblies involving non-metal materials.

 

Hydrapeel rivets are widely used in applications where soft materials require secure and reliable fastening.

Furniture Manufacturing

Used for joining metal components with wooden or board panels.

Garage Door Systems

Provides strong fastening for metal door frames attached to wood or composite panels.

Sheet Metal Assemblies

Ideal for assemblies combining metal sheets with wooden or plastic materials.

Fabrication & Industrial Equipment

Used in enclosures, cabinets, and fabricated structures.

Construction Components

Suitable for fastening panels and structural boards in building systems.

These applications benefit from fastening solutions that spread load efficiently, similar to the function of a trifold rivet in soft material environments.

 

A Hydrapeel fastener is a peel-type blind rivet designed for joining metal components to soft materials such as wood, board, or low-density plastic.

During installation, the rivet body splits into multiple sections that peel outward behind the material, creating a wide contact area on the blind side. This behaviour is often compared to a trifold rivet, as both are designed to improve load distribution and prevent damage to softer materials.

Unlike conventional rivets, Hydrapeel ensure:

 - Strong pull-out resistance
 - Large blind-side bearing area
 - Secure fastening in soft materials

This design distributes load evenly and helps maintain the integrity of the base material during installation.
