Rivet (plastic polyamide) BGtech NIT-POLIAMID — polyamide blind rivet, non-metallic fastening

BGtech NIT-POLIAMID is a polyamide blind rivet engineered for non-metallic and lightweight fastening tasks. Made from plastic polyamide, this blind rivet offers corrosion resistance and electrical insulation, making it suitable where metal fasteners are undesirable. It joins plastics, composite panels, thin sheet materials and other substrates that require a non-conductive, low-mass connection while maintaining a concealed blind-side installation.

Advantages

The polyamide construction ensures chemical and corrosion resistance and provides electrical insulation between joined parts. Its blind rivet design enables installation from one side, simplifying assembly in confined or closed spaces. The lightweight, non-metallic body reduces risk of galvanic corrosion and eliminates conductivity concerns in electrical or electronic housings. Installation produces a flush or neat finish on the visible side, suitable for trim and panel applications.

Suitable for

• Joining plastic panels and composite materials
• Fastening trim, housings and interior components
• Applications requiring electrical insulation or EMI separation
• Lightweight assemblies in automotive, electronics and appliance enclosures
• Repair or production of displays, signage and thin-sheet structures

Key specifications

• Material: polyamide (plastic) body providing non-conductive properties
• Type: blind rivet for one-sided installation
• Corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected-environment use
• Lightweight construction for minimal added mass
• Designed for bonding plastics, composites and thin-sheet substrates

How to use

Select a rivet size compatible with the combined thickness of the materials to be joined and prepare a matching hole. Insert the rivet into the hole so the flange rests against the visible surface, then use an appropriate blind rivet tool to set the rivet from the accessible side until the mandrel breaks or the rivet body forms the required blind-side bulge. Verify that the joint is secure and that the visible head is seated correctly. If electrical insulation is required, ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of conductive debris before installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid exposure to prolonged UV, extreme heat, or harsh chemicals beyond the polyamide material limits. Use in environments where mechanical loads are moderate; for heavy structural loads consider metal fasteners. When fastening dissimilar materials, confirm hole tolerances and rivet grip range for a tight, vibration-resistant assembly.
