Elliptical Oval Shape Metal Grommet Iron Tarpaulin Eyelet Button

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Reinforced Tarpaulin Securing: Designed to reinforce and protect holes in tarpaulin materials, ensuring durability against wear and tear from environmental stress.
  • Elliptical Shape Design: Provides a versatile fit for applications requiring non-circular openings, such as marine covers, outdoor gear, or industrial tarps.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Plating Technology

  • With corrosion-resistant plating, protect tarpaulin edges from rust and environmental wear in outdoor or industrial settings. Outperforms uncoated metal grommets by maintaining structural integrity in humid or salty environments.*

  • 2. Elliptical Shape for Enhanced Strength

  • With an elliptical design, distribute stress evenly to prevent tearing in high-tension applications like tarps under heavy loads. Reduces material strain compared to traditional round grommets.*

  • 3. Durable Metal Construction

  • With iron or aluminum alloy material, withstand extreme force and abrasion. Lasts up to 50% longer than plastic alternatives in heavy-duty scenarios.*

  • 4. Commercial-Grade Tarpaulin Solutions

  • Designed for industrial tarpaulin use, ensure seamless integration and durability in maritime, construction, or agriculture settings. Compatible with thick fabrics for robust protection against harsh conditions.

  • 5. Nickel-Free Safety Compliance

  • Nickel-free metal composition adheres to ASTM F2978 allergen standards, minimizing skin irritation risks during prolonged use. Ideal for environments requiring hypoallergenic fasteners.

Supplier's note

  1. Three Breakthroughs:

    • Nickel-Free Plating: Eliminates allergic risks without compromising durability.
    • Elliptical Design: Reduces wear points by 40% compared to round grommets.
    • Material Flexibility: Aluminum versions are 20% lighter than iron, ideal for airborne cargo.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Suitable for standard tarpaulin in dry environments (e.g., agricultural covers).
    • Advanced Model: Perfect for marine or coastal use, where saltwater corrosion is a concern.
    • Pro Model: Triple the corrosion resistance of industry benchmarks, enabling safe handling of chemical exposure (e.g., industrial tarps for hazardous materials). Pair its premium alloy with epoxy plating for unmatched longevity in extreme conditions.
