Did you know that nearly all thermoplastics can be welded without difficulty? When it comes to joining two fabrics together – you have to make sure you are choosing the right method to do so. As a general rule, only identical thermoplastic materials can be welded homogeneously. But what else do you need to know if you wish to make … Read More

This article will serve as an introduction to High-Frequency Welding. HF Welding, also known as radiofrequency (RF) or dielectric welding, is the process of fusing materials together by applying a rapidly alternating electric field, applied between two bars, in the joint area. HF welding only works with thermoplastics that have a high dielectric constant, a factor determined by the molecule’s … Read More

When it comes to thermoplastic-coated materials – Welding is one of the most common ways to join the technical textile industry. When it comes to joining technical fabrics, you should know about the production advantages of welding – here in this article we list the top 7.   1.    Design Thermoplastic welding presents many substantial benefits for the technical textile … Read More

Rigid-hull inflatable boats (RIBs) are built with inflatable or foam-filled collars that enable stability and better floating. RIBs are commonly used for rescue, military, and commercial applications. RIBS can also be used as dinghies for larger vessels, as well as leisure crafts. As for size, RIBs are generally built to be compact and lightweight for increased speed and versatility. Although, … Read More

Welding is one of the most common ways to join thermoplastic-coated materials used in the technical textile industry. Fabric welding is straightforward, relatively inexpensive, and offers unparalleled flexibility and strength when it comes to joining technical fabrics together. While not all types of fabrics can be easily welded, virtually all thermoplastics exhibit excellent weldability. The process of thermoplastic welding consists … Read More

Image courtesy of Miller Weldmaster   Hot Wedge (HW) Welding Hot wedge welding, also known as bar welding, uses a heated metal wedge to provide the required heat for melting the thermoplastics. The wedge is precisely positioned at the weld point as two sheets of fabric or film are pulled across the heated wedge. The material is moved across the … Read More

The process for all thermoplastic textiles welding consists of the same basic elements: heat, pressure, and cooling. These three elements are controlled based on the materials being welded, the welding method, and the speed of the manufacturing process. However, many other factors affect the strength and seal quality: Tooling layout Weld thickness Material thickness Machine controls Operator experience In the … Read More
