Our techniques enable effective welding of thermoplastic rubber fabrics, renowned for their lightweight, robust, and stable properties.
What Are Thermoplastics?
Thermoplastics stand out as malleable plastics, which turn moldable when subjected to specific heating and regain solidity upon cooling.
What is Thermoplastic Welding?
Thermoplastic welding dives deep into the art of fusing thermoplastic materials through calculated heating, pressure, and cooling. Initiation of the weld requires elevating the thermoplastic surface to its melting point. Each substance has its unique thermoplastic state, typically oscillating between 250°C (480°F) and 500°C (1022°F).
Upon heating, the materials are fused and sustained under pressure until cooling commences. This pressure-driven process reshuffles molecules within the material, enabling them to bond cohesively.
Several welding techniques have been innovated for thermoplastics, with hot air plastic welding being a preferred choice for materials boasting a thickness of 1/16 inch or more.
Why do manufacturers choose thermoplastic for welding?
Thermoplastic welding champions multiple benefits:
- Superlative strength in plastic welding
- Ample design versatility
- Economical processing expenses
- Superior fatigue resilience compared to metals
The most commonly welded thermoplastic materials are:
Prominent thermoplastic materials under our welding purview include:
- Polypropylene (PP) -Industries such as ducting and packaging use polypropylene coated fabrics for a variety of applications.
- Polyethylene (PE) -Agriculture and geomembrane industries have been welding polyethylene for years, but the sign industry has started to adopt this type of welding as well.
- Polyvinylchloride (PVC) -The awning, sign, banner, tent and ducting industries commonly use PVC laminated fabric.
