NEW PLASTIC & RUBBER HARDWARE RANGE

TR Fastenings is expanding its product portfolio with the addition of 1,500 new part numbers to the existing Plastic & Rubber Hardware range, in response to product requests from across the automotive, health and home, and energy, tech and infrastructure sectors.

The new product ranges include Screw Rivets, which are ideal for applications where maintenance or servicing via a removable panel is required, and Barbed Push­in Rivets, often used in automotive applications such as wheel arch bumpers, splash shields, bumper assemblies, internal upholstery and trim. Meanwhile, new Kwik Nuts that allow for tool free rapid installation are now available for automotive applications like vehicle acoustic engine liners and interior assemblies, as well as for air conditioning and ventilation equipment. www.trfastenings.com

Also new to the range are Push Screws, a new product which combines the rapid installation of a Fir Tree Clip with the versatility of a conventional threaded screw. The part is designed to push fit and retain in a female thread, then be removed with a standard screwdriver to enable rapid tool free installation. Finally, the new additions are rounded off with Shockproof Snap Rivets, a new development and an improvement on the standard design of a conventional Snap Rivet. The design incorporates a locking mechanism under the head which resists pin movement when subject to mechanical shock or vibration, making them ideal for automotive interior applications, industrial lighting, pumps, heating and ventilation.
