Bulbtite

High-Performance Riveting Solutions by MIS

We are delighted to introduce the Bulbtite rivet – a cutting-edge fastening device for heavy-duty installations in thin, flexible materials. With its water-tight seal and durable operation, the Bulbtite rivet is the first choice fastener for roofing, standing seam products, and other sensitive applications where surface strength and hardness are considerations.

What is a Bulbtite Rivet?

Bulbtite is a blind structural rivet that forms a bulbed, wide tail on the blind side when installed. Its uniquely shaped form provides uniform force application and guards sensitive materials against cosmetic or structural damage. It works best on thin sheet metal, soft substrates, and applications requiring weather sealing or vibration resistance.

The rivet will adhere firmly without distorting or cracking surfaces and is therefore well suited to uses where appearance, as well as strength, are considerations.

Bulbtite Rivets Key Features

MIS TOOLS BUILDING METAL PRODUCTS TRADING LLC carries Bulbtite rivets with features for consistent fastening in harsh environments:

Weather Tight

Since they are designed to seal, Bulbtite rivets keep water, dust, and air out. This is perfect for use in roofing and exterior applications where weather resistance over a long duration is needed.

High Strength

They are produced with shear and tensile strength. These rivets result in a clean, high-strength fit on installation, resisting wear and stress in the course of time.

High Clamping Force

Bulbtite has a high-pressure fit on installation, pulling material snugly together. This not only renders the joint more reliable but also retains a clean appearance.

Hard-to-Fasten Applications

In limited access or non-standard hole size applications, Bulbtite excels. It adapts readily to slotted, out-of-round, or oversized holes without rework or failure.

Multi-Grip Capability

Bulbtite rivets can be specified in a wide range of grip ranges for versatility, so multiple material thicknesses can be accommodated with fewer rivet sizes being stocked.

Choice of Finished Appearance

Bulbtite is available in many different head shapes and finishes, so you have many options that will meet your design needs and visual applications.
