Carmo is a world leader in weldable PVC eyelets.

They are strong, flexible and do not rupture. We blend the right composition of raw materials to meet your specific demands for performance, weather conditions, UV radiation exposure, etc.

Compared to metal grommets, welded PVC eyelets will fuse together with the foil and result in a joint that is significantly stronger and can withstand significantly higher pull forces. This is especially true when working in mesh materials.

Carmo PVC eyelets are typically used for reinforcement of holes in foils and fabric. In building wraps, banners and tarpaulins.

They offer offer more advantages for the outdoor vinyl banner producer, e.g.:

• Outperforms metal grommets in flexibility and strength
• Durable in harsh environments. Will not rust and leave stains
• No hemming required,
• the only solution for single layer vinyl.
• "Invisible" placement of eyelets on the back of the banner is possible.

Our weldable eyelets are typically mounted using High Frequency Welding (also known as HF welding or RF welding) or ultrasonic welding. We supply a full range of tools and electrodes - covering all our geometries – for use in existing bar welders, and a line of dedicated machines for integrated punching, automatic feeding and welding of eyelets. For small-scale production, prototyping and repairs we also recommend our unique Carmo seal, suitable for gluing soft PVC to PVC. Carmo Seal is resistant to heat, water, oil, petrol, plasticizer and ageing.

Compared to metal grommets, welded PVC eyelets will fuse together with the foil and result in a joint that is significantly stronger and can withstand significantly higher pull forces. This is especially true when working in mesh materials. PVC eyelets also performs excellent in demanding environments. They will not rust and resistant to oil and saltwater. They have high resistance to UV With a Weldable PVC eyelet, you can double or triple the strength of your banner compared to a standard metal grommet!

Carmos PVC and PUR eyelets can be directly recycled together with the banner, tarpoulin or building wrap. No need to manually remove metal grommets This is why we have teamed up with foil producer Ferari to support ther TexyLoop initiative.

Carmo weldable eyelets can be delivered:

• In PVC, PE, PVC/PUR
  (PVC is standard, for PE or PVC/PUR, please
  Contact sales )
• In nearly any color
  (Clear, grey and white are standard, for for other colors, please

Application notes

How to mount weldable eyelets...

Our weldable eyelets are typically mounted using High Frequency Welding (also known as HF welding or RF welding) or ultrasonic welding. We supply a full range of tools and electrodes - covering all our geometries – for use in existing bar welders, and a line of dedicated machines for integrated punching, automatic feeding and welding of eyelets.

Prototyping and small-scale production...

For small-scale production, prototyping and repairs we also recommend our unique Carmo seal, suitable for gluing soft PVC to PVC. Carmo Seal is resistant to heat, water, oil, petrol, plasticizer and ageing.

How to increase strength...

Depending on the application, Carmo PVC eyelets can be used in both single-sided and double-sided configurations:

Single sided eyelet welding offers quick insertion and welding and the possibilities to hide the eyelet from direct view – especially useful in high-quality banner production. Double sided eyelet welding offers maximum strength and durability – especially in mesh materials.
