Formation Plastics has highly qualified fully trained hot gas plastic welders in PVC, Polypropylene, polyethylene, PETG, Polycarbonate and some fluoropolymers such as PVDF, FEP and PFA. Hot gas welding… Is a fabrication process for thermoplastic materials. It uses a stream of heated gas, usually air, to heat and melt both the thermoplastic substrate material and the thermoplastic welding rod. The substrate and the rod fuse to produce a weld. There are four main welding parameters in the hot gas welding process: temperature, pressure, welding speed and gun position. Since the process is manual, it is important that the welder has a good understanding of the need to ensure that all four of these parameters are correct and controlled during the welding operation. We also use extrusion welding machines for large tanks bunds Extrusion welding… is a finishing technique where a bead of molten plastic is used to weld thermoplastic geomembrane materials. Extrusion welding machines use a heated barrel with a plasticating screw to deliver molten plastic to a specially shaped shoe. The shoe is shaped to make a bead of plastic suitable for the material type and thickness being welded. A hot air blower is attached to the extrusion welder to preheat the weld area. The welder uses its own weight to create the pressure required for welding and the operator steers the welder manually. GET IN TOUCH We’d love to hear about your project and how we can help.
