I am performing FEA on an assembly that includes rotomoldings with inserts. I have found some data
for pull out forces for injection molded inserts but not for rotomolded parts. I am thinking of using the injection molded data reduced by a fairly large amount to compensate for different materials and differences in material integrity.
Does anyone know of any pull out data for rotomolded inserts?

Thanks

Jerzy
 
You can only get this from the insert manufacturer. Inserts for roto-molding would be designed differently than those for injection molding. As such it is possible that they could be stronger.
