Bulb-tite Rivet
Bulbtites rivets are different from other tri-fold blind rivets because their tri-fold configuration along with their mandrel retention and the fitted neoprene sealing ring all combine to provide a weather proof joint.
Bulb-tite has great clamping power and is ideal for thin, low strength, or brittle material such as sheet metal, plastics, fiberglass, composites, plywood etc.
