Product Classification
Stainless Steel Gaskets
The gasket is placed between the nail and the rubber mat.
It increases the contact area and helps reduce pressure on one small point. This can protect the cow mat surface.
Features:
304 or 316 stainless steel material
Distribute fastener loads
Resist corrosion in harsh environments
Help protect rubber mat
Available Sizes:
Material Options:
304 Stainless Steel
316 Stainless Steel
Threaded Nail
Threaded stainless steel nails have a special thread design that improves the grip inside the concrete floor. Compared with normal smooth nails, threaded nails can hold the rubber mat more firmly and reduce movement during daily cow movement.

Hammer Nail
Hammer nails can be installed quickly with basic hammers and are suitable for many livestock flooring projects. The stainless steel material offers high corrosion resistance and improve service life.
Features:
Quick installation
Strong fixing performance
Suitable for large-area projects
Good corrosion resistance

Material Options:
304 Stainless Steel
316 Stainless Steel
Expansion Bolt
Expansion bolts are used when stronger fixing is required. After installation, the expansion part locks inside the concrete floor. This creates a firm connection between the rubber mat and the ground. They are suitable for thicker rubber mats and areas with frequent cattle movement.

304 Stainless Steel Fasteners
304 stainless steel is the most common choice for dairy farms. It has good corrosion resistance and works well in normal farm environments. It can handle daily cleaning, moisture, and daily use.
For most cow mat and cow mattress, 304 stainless steel provides a good balance between quality and cost.
316 Stainless Steel Fasteners
316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel. It is suitable for farms with higher moisture levels or areas where stronger corrosion resistance is required.
316 stainless steel helps keep the fasteners in good condition for a longer time.
Galvanized Steel Fasteners
Galvanized steel fasteners are an economical option.
The zinc surface provides basic corrosion protection and improves the service life. They are suitable for standard projects where the installation area does not have high moisture conditions.
For long-term use in dairy farms, we recommend 304 or 316 stainless steel options.
Why Use Stainless Steel Rubber Mat Fasteners?
Keep Cow Mats and Cow Mattresses Stable
Cows create strong pressure when they walk and turn on the mat. Proper fixing helps reduce movement and keeps the rubber surface flat. This creates a safer and more comfortable area for cows.
Better water resistance
Dairy farms often use water for cleaning. Ordinary steel fasteners will rust quickly if exposed to water for a long time. 304 and 316 stainless steel have better rust resistance. They are suitable for wet farm environments and daily cleaning.
Reduce Costs
Cheap galvanized fasteners may seem like a cost-saving option, but after a period of use in the humid environment of a cattle barn, they will rust and become loose. 304 and 316 stainless steel fasteners last 5 to 8 times longer than ordinary ones, helping you save on long-term maintenance costs.
FAQ
Q1:Which stainless steel material should I choose, 304 or 316?
304 stainless steel is the most common choice for dairy farms. It provides good rust resistance and is suitable for normal farm environments.
316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance than 304. It is recommended for farms with higher humidity.
Q2:Will the fasteners damage the cow mat?
Using fasteners and gaskets of the correct size will not only prevent damage to the rubber but also extend cow mat’s service life. The gaskets helps spread the pressure.
Q3:Can I use galvanized steel fasteners for dairy farms?
Yes, galvanized steel fasteners can be used for standard livestock flooring projects. They are a more economical option compared with stainless steel. However, for wet environments or long-term use, 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners are recommended.
Q4:Can I order fasteners together with cow mats or cow mattresses?
Yes. Fasteners can be supplied together with cow mats, cow mattresses, and other livestock rubber products. This makes purchasing easier and ensures that the fixing parts match your livestock flooring system.
