Goebel Fasteners Introduces Peel Type “STAR” Rivets

Goebel’s Peel Type “STAR” Rivets are designed with an aluminum body and a steel zinc plated mandrel. The aluminum body protects the rivet from corrosion.

The rivet gets its name from a special folding mechanism: when you install a STAR rivet, it folds into four separate legs, resembling a large, incandescent, luminous point in the night sky.

The special folding mechanism securely clamps two materials together. The STAR rivets are produced specifically for work with brittle and soft materials. The four legs create a large blindside bearing surface, thereby significantly lowering the risk of the rivet breaking through or sinking in thin and soft materials.

The STAR rivets are most commonly used when working with wood or plastic materials.
