Using Thermoplastic Welding Rods
It is important to know where to buy plastic welding rods that ensure quality for your every project. But it is equally vital to know the basics in thermoplastic welding. These fundamentals will help you produce a rigid weld, even in using plastic rods.
Identifying Your Materials
You can only weld “like” materials; in this case, plastic to plastic. Use only Polypropylene welding rod on Polypropylene. The same goes for every kind of thermoplastic plastic rod material, from ABS to HDPE to Polyurethane.
Surface Preparation
Cleanliness is essential to any welding job. Clean materials and a clean surface affect how strong the plastic welding will be. To prepare a surface, follow these steps:
- Remove oils, greases, paints, soil, and dust prior to welding
- Use a soft sponge with warm water
- Use a standard abrasive wheel when sanding paint
Application of Heat
There are two choices in cooling welds, plastic or otherwise: air cooling and water cooling. You must analyze the type of welding operation you will be performing and determine the kind of cooling system that fits best.
