Hydratite Sealed Rivet - Leakproof Blind Rivets

Hydratite

Hydratite is an aluminium rivet that has a large blind-sides bearing area making it an ideal rivet for use in thin sheet or low strength materials. The structural Hydratite rivet contains a visible mechanical lock to give extra strength to the joint.

Hydratite breakstem fastener is a structural aluminium blind rivet designed for thin sheet materials and low-strength assemblies, offering high strength, vibration resistance, and reliable fastening performance.

Hydratite is also suitable for applications requiring sealing performance. With optional under-head washers, it can function effectively as a sealed rivet, leakproof rivet, and waterproof blind rivet, protecting against moisture and environmental conditions.

Its split tail formation distributes load evenly across the rear sheet, preventing damage and improving joint strength. The visible mechanical lock ensures quick inspection and guarantees proper installation. Hydratite fasteners are widely used across automotive, sheet metal fabrication, appliances, and industrial assemblies, where strong, reliable fastening is essential.
