Rosettes

Rosettes

Rosettes are useful in heat staking because they enhance the mechanical interlock, increase bond strength, improve durability, manage thermal stress, ensure consistent results, and provide design flexibility.  These benefits make rosettes a valuable feature in the heat staking process, particularly in applications requiring robust and reliable bonds between plastic components.

When to Use a Rosette Heat Stake

•  When working with larger-diameter plastic bosses
•  When the application benefits from material being formed outward around the boss for even holding strength
•  When a broad formed head is desired to securely capture the mating component
•  When working with suitable low-density, nonabrasive thermoplastics
•  When accurate stake-to-tip alignment can be maintained for consistent forming
