Avdel® Bulbex®
A split tail formation and very large blind side bearing area against the rear sheet makes Bulbex® fasteners a standout in our breakstem catalog.
Made of aluminum alloy, the Bulbex® design allows for a wide variation in material thickness. One Bulbex® fastener can often be used to replace several standard grip fasteners; thereby reducing fastener inventory and simplifying stock control.
The Bulbex® blind breakstem fastener is ideal for use with plastic and low-strength material. Assembly applications include automotive, caravans/RV, mobile homes, domestic appliances, and plastic components.
