METAL-FREE accessories
The advantages of metal-free eyelets, metal-free hooks and speed laces, metal-free rivets
Metal-free plastic accessories are becoming more and more popular because they are suitable for all safety footwear used in the electrical and airport sectors, for military use, or for those who want to differentiate the accessory from the usual metal accessories.
From the functional point of view, the advantages of metal-free plastic material are resistance, lightness, design and fast application (therefore cost savings). These features afford to obtain a totally new product with a revolutionary and innovative look and able to add value to your footwear processing.
As for your free samples!
Metal-free plastic accessories are chosen for use in environments protected by metal detectors or subject to special care because they guarantee thermal and electrical insulation, rust-freedom, resistance to acid and atmospheric agents and color retention over time.
Not to forget the lightness of metal-free accessories, a key feature that only plastic trims can provide for use in all those sectors where the shoe weight reduction plays a decisive role.

The special plastic material the metal-free accessories are made of allows cold application both manually and with an automatic machine, both for the metal-free plastic eyelets (pre-holing is not needed) and for the metal-free plastic hooks and speed-laces that are to be applied with a metal-free plastic rivet, and there is no memory effect (i.e. the return of the accessory to its original shape) after application.
In addition, expensive dedicated machinery is not required for cold application (as is the case for hot application) as it is sufficient to tool your hand-operated press or your automatic machine with the specific punch.
