In industrial manufacturing, identifying and selecting joining methods is a serious topic in constructing products made of coated textiles. Among these methods, High-Frequency Welding (HFW) stands out as an advanced and efficient technique. Coated textiles are an integral part of numerous products like tarpaulins, tents, inflatables, and protective clothing. The application of HFW in manufacturing these items ensures strong, watertight … Read More

In the realm of coated thermoplastic products, the performance largely hinges on the bonding of the seams. Essentially, there are two primary methods for bonding seams – gluing and welding. While we have already compared these two methods in another article, this piece will concentrate specifically on welding thermoplastics. To lay the groundwork, let’s kick things off with a brief … Read More

A wide range of products that are used daily by consumers and industries worldwide incorporate Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) because of its versatile characteristics. One particularly beneficial property of PVC is its waterproof nature, making it a preferred choice in marine applications. The seam bond in PVC products, as a result, needs to be extremely durable to resist the demanding conditions, … Read More

This enables the creation of all kinds of coated textiles products involving complex shapes, large surfaces, and waterproof constructions of high durability.  In this article, we present the considerations manufacturers should make when choosing a welding method, depending on their needs and … 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
