With a high shear strength due to the internally locked stem, the Avtainer® fastener creates a vibration-resistant joint which is also watertight – thanks to the unique under-head Santoprene™ seal.

This high-strength steel fastener is designed for joining composite panels to metal. Avtainer® can be used to fasten metal to metal and metal to GRP or composites. Assembly applications include commercial vehicles, container, and partitioning.

The Avtainer® prevents cracking and pull through of composite materials and is particularly successful in the assembly of GRP vehicle panels.
