Notin a reputable manufacturer in China, is willing to offer you Eyelets. We promise to provide you with the best after-sale support and prompt delivery.

Eyelets are characterized by quick installation, stable performance, and high reliability. Compared to other fasteners, eyelets are significantly cheaper per unit and have a wide range of applications. They are similar with tubular rivets, but made from different technics and machines.Eyelets are made from deep drawn technics, and tubular rivets are made from tube.

What is an eyelet?

An eyelet primarily consists of a cap and a shank. The cap is typically round or oval, offering a large surface area for easy hammering during installation. The shank is of moderate length and diameter, ensuring the rivet securely connects two or more components. The primary function of this type of eyelet is to connect and secure components, ensuring a secure connection without damaging the material.

What types of eyelets are there?

Based on the material used, they can be categorized as brass eyelets, steel eyelets, stainless steel eyelets, aluminum eyelets, and copper eyelets. Different eyelets have different characteristics depending on their material properties.

Brass eyelets: They offer excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, making them widely used in various electrical connections and fastening applications.

Steel eyelets: steel offers high strength and hardness, and are relatively inexpensive. However, steel has poor corrosion resistance and is prone to rusting, especially in humid environments. Therefore, the application range of iron eyelet rivets is relatively limited.

Stainless steel eyelets: Characterized by their strong corrosion resistance, they are often used for fastening food-grade products. However, due to the material's relatively high hardness, production is challenging, resulting in a relatively high unit price.

Aluminum eyelets: Used for fastening shoelace holes, belt holes, and windbreaker drawstrings, they allow for quick donning and doffing, while enhancing aesthetics.

Copper eyelets: Due to their excellent electrical conductivity, they are often used for connecting and securing electronic products.

What surface treatments are available for eyelets?

Eyelets are hot-dip galvanized and polished to create a protective layer on the surface that provides antistatic, corrosion-resistant, and anti-allergenic properties. Copper eyelets come in a variety of colors, including white nickel, polished tin, imitation gold, antique bronze, matte nickel, bronze, zinc, and silver.

Some customers also prefer to have the eyelet head powder coating to match their color with the overall design and prevent oxidation.
