Plastic panel fastener can be used again and again
TFC has introduced a versatile new low profile, one-piece quarter turn captive panel fastener from ITW Fastex that can be used over and over again.
Where fitted, such security seals are usually enough to dissuade opportunist thieves.
Although the plastic seal can be easily destroyed, the act of doing so immediately leaves visual evidence that tampering has taken place and thus increases the chances of the thieves being caught.
The printing of a logo together with a serial number that is unique to that particular logo on the same part and colour ensures thieves cannot replace a seal that has been destroyed.
Revised security standards ensure applications for the new aviation security seals are almost limitless and include airside and terminal doors, emergency exit doors, baggage handling areas, customs halls, luggage containers, airport vehicles and so on.
The seals are available in a range of colours and comprise bag seals, multiloc seals, pull up seals, ring seals, bag seals and tag straps.
All models contain no metal parts, and most are recyclable and all can be incinerated after use. Request a free brochure from TFC ...
