Plastic Grommets, Snaps & Hardware — Lightweight, Rustproof & Versatile

By MICRON® America — CE & ISO 9001 Certified

Introduction

MICRON® America plastic grommets, snaps, and hardware offer a lightweight solution that will not rust. They also stay non-conductive, which helps in many textile and signage applications.
These products use premium polycarbonate (PC), nylon 6/66, and POM (acetal) for long service life. In addition, they are nickel-free, UV-stabilized, and RoHS & REACH compliant.
For consistent results, you can install them with MICRON® equipment such as the PL-10 Pneumatic Machine, TEP-3 Hand Press, and M-3 Bench Press (table-mounted).

Selecting the Right Plastic Fastener

First, match the fastener to fabric weight and the job.

  • Metal grommets: best for heavy-duty outdoor use such as tarps and banners.

  • Plastic grommets: lightweight, economical, and non-conductive, so they are ideal for curtains, apparel, and printed textiles.

As a quick guide:

  • Heavy fabrics (canvas, denim, tarpaulin) benefit from reinforcement and firm pressing.

  • Lightweight fabrics (polyester, cotton, voile) work well with snap-on types or small-ID plastic grommets.
