Is plastic welding strong?

Plastic welder with staples

Need to repair a crack? Join plastic parts? Welding is the perfect solution. This is a relatively simple task to do at home, since plastic is soft and malleable. You will need an electric welding gun and an appropriate welding rod to complete the repair. After cleaning and identifying the plastic, use the heat from the gun to gradually melt and join the plastic. Finish the job by smoothing the weld and creating a solution that is stronger and more economical than a new piece of plastic.

Automotive Plastic Welding

Plastic welding is the operation of creating a molecular bond between two thermoplastics that are compatible in nature. Hot gas welding is the process we use most frequently to weld plastics.

We recommend a thermoplastic pipe welding process that uses heat to join two polymer-based products. The heat softens the plastic and then pushes or fuses it together to join the two pieces. This results in a viable and stable bond.

Welding applications: Plastic pipe welding can be done with the use of heat or by using a chemical solvent, depending on the type of plastic being fused. With heat, a plastic is softened to make it flexible. Heat is applied in a variety of ways, including steam, hot gas, a welding rod, a hot plate or a laser. With the plastics softened, they are placed in a press, where pressure is added, causing the edges to come together. Constant pressure is essential to ensure the high quality of a weld.
