The ultimate eyelet for demanding applications
Carmo's Metal Reinforced Eyelets offer a simple, yet very effective solution for demanding applications. A metal eyelet is moulded directly into the plastic eyelet delivering a solution with more strength and durability compared to traditional plastic eyelets. This unique solution provides up to 3 times the strength compared to traditional metal eyelets.
Carmo's Metal Reinforced Eyelet is perfect for tarpaulins exposed to the high pull forces of wind e.g. building wraps, boats, pool covers, trucks, trailers, applications in agriculture as well as tents and shelters. The Metal Reinforced Eyelet is also the ideal solution for cinema screens and large banners requiring a high level of strength and durability.
Increased life time on ropes and lines
The internal surfaces of the Metal Reinforced Eyelet are smooth, reducing the tear and wear on rope, bungees etc. significantly. The metal inserts are made of ASTM A240, 304 Stainless Steel (also known as Inox 304), which is corrosion resistant, promising long lifetime in demanding applications.
See it in action
Three eyelets pulled side by side until each fails: a standard metal grommet, a Carmo HF-welded plastic eyelet, and the patented Metal Reinforced Eyelet. On this test's fabric the metal grommet tears out at about 30 kg, the welded plastic eyelet holds to about 90 kg and the Metal Reinforced Eyelet to about 105 kg, the strength comes from the weld bonding to the fabric, not a ring punched through it. The Metal Reinforced Eyelet adds a stainless-steel wear surface where a rope runs, so its full advantage shows in wear, not only in pull. Carmo workshop test with an uncalibrated newtonmeter: indicative, not a certified standard test; results vary with the fabric: ask Carmo for a test on your own material.
Transcript
Three eyelets pulled to failure on the same fabric. Metal grommet: tears out at about 30 kg. Welded Carmo plastic eyelet: holds to about 90 kg. Metal Reinforced Eyelet: about 105 kg. In-house test, indicative; results vary with the fabric.
Mounting with HF welding
Use your existing HF welding equipment while adding strength and durability to your products. The Metal Reinforced Eyelets are mounted in a single operation. Therefore, you save a working process of first mounting a plastic eyelet and subsequently mounting a metal eyelet into your plastic eyelet.
Patented solution delivering superior strength
Carmo's patented production technique ensures that the metal and plastic parts are fused together during production, delivering a strength that can never be obtained with traditionally mounted metal eyelets.
These components are manufactured in Denmark by Injection Molding, securing high quality, low unit prices, focus on sustainability and respect for the environmental impact of production.
Can be High Frequency welded using our electrode 07-402-0015
Most Carmo PVC components can be delivered in Carmo's special PVC/PUR mixture for HF welding to PUR substrates and foil. Please contact sales to investigate further and inquire about pricing and minimum order quantities.

All measurements and drawings are nominal. For exact measurements - and for critical integration - please contact sales for detailed drawings. Carmo is not responsible for misprints and technical changes.
Please note: Products in PVC are inherently susceptible to deformation due to elevated temperatures during storage and transportation. Carmo recommends storing and transporting components between 0 and 30 deg Celsius. In order to help minimise this risk, all Carmo products are shipped in extremely rigid cartons with a comparatively small number of parts per box.
(*) Smaller quantities can be delivered on request for a repacking fee.
