Plastic rivets Cube Kołki R-GOL TPU 12×13 mm fastening plugs

Cube Kołki R-GOL TPU 12×13 mm fastening plugs are lightweight plastic rivets made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for push-fit panel and trim assembly. Designed to provide secure, vibration-resistant fixation, these 12×13 mm plugs suit both interior and exterior applications where corrosion resistance and gentle material contact are important. The plugs are intended for use in automotive trims, household panels and light engineering joints that require a non-metallic joining solution.

Advantages

The TPU construction offers flexibility, impact resistance and good recovery after compression, ensuring reliable retention in pre-drilled holes. The push-fit design enables quick installation without special tools and reduces the risk of damaging surrounding materials. Being corrosion-resistant and non-conductive, these plastic rivets are suitable for environments where metal fasteners would deteriorate or create galvanic contact. Their compact 12×13 mm dimensions make them compatible with thin panels and narrow edge applications.

Suitable for

• Automotive interior and exterior trim retention
• Fixing household panels and decorative trims
• Light engineering assemblies and plastic-to-plastic joints
• Temporary or serviceable fastening where easy removal is needed

Key specifications

• Material: thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
• Overall head/plug size: 12×13 mm
• Fastening type: push-fit / snap rivet
• Corrosion resistance: non-metallic, suitable for damp or corrosive environments
• Electrical properties: non-conductive
• Typical applications: trim panels, lightweight joints, plastic components

How to use

Select a pre-drilled hole that matches the plug diameter and align the rivet with the panel opening. Press the rivet straight into the hole until the head seats flush against the surface and the retaining legs expand on the far side to lock the plug in place. For removal, gently pry up the head or use an appropriate trim tool to depress the retaining feature and extract the plug, taking care not to damage the mating materials.

Usage recommendations

Verify hole diameter and panel thickness before installation to ensure proper engagement. Avoid excessive side loads after installation; allow the TPU material to flex rather than force rigid bending. For exterior use, check UV exposure and consider periodic inspection in high-temperature environments to ensure ongoing retention performance.
