GOSTAR: A2 stainless steel peel rivet 09 December 2015

DEGOMETAL says its GOSTAR stainless steel peel rivet is specifically designed to fasten soft or thin materials, as it does not damage the support.

The French manufacturer of rivets explains that due to its material, the GOSTAR peel rivet is corrosion resistant and is suitable for use in plastic, wood, resin, and thin sheet applications. It can be used for a variety of applications including in the automotive industry for registration plates and airbags.
During setting, this stainless steel rivet body splits into 4 legs and the mandrel head is ejected. Compared to a standard rivet, the GOSTAR’s grip range and its shearing resistance are the most important features.
The peel rivet is available in a number of versions with different heads including domed head and large head. With the ‘T’ version, the mandrel head is retained after installation to obtain excellent shear strength. Leak-proof treatment can also be added upon request.
“With our commitment to quality, our reputation, and more than 45 years’ of experience – combined with a constant drive for research and innovation – DEGOMETAL is able to meet special requirements by changing standard features or by delivering adapted solutions.”
