Monel Pop Rivets (4 pack)
Monel pop rivets (also known as blind rivets) are used in marine environments for their superior strength and exceptional corrosion resistance, especially against saltwater. Typically used for dinghy and keelboat mast, boom and tiller fittings, they offer high tensile strength, withstand extreme conditions and prevent the galvanic corrosion that can occur between dissimilar metals like aluminium and stainless steel, ensuring longevity. NOT suitable for use on carbon spars.
