Injectiweld

Delivers Quality Welds

Injectiweld uses heat from the welding tip to pre-plasticize the welding surface of the thermoplastic. Molten plastic is immediately injected sub-surfacely under pressure, into the weld area to fuse the plastic together and form a sound weld. Since the orifice in the weld tip is submerged, surface preparation is not necessary and virtually no oxidation takes place during the welding process. The result is an efficient quality weld, produced without using hot air or gas.

Fabricating: Injectiweld is easily adapted into production and assembly applications. The one-hand operation of the Injectiweld allows the user to manipulate the parts to be welded with the other hand. The welder can then free form product for faster turnover and production.

Prototyping: Products can be designed and developed using the Injectiweld. The strong welds achieved using the Injectiweld lets welded prototypes be used in real life tests. The Injectiweld is capable of producing welds as small as 1.5 mm for inconspicuous welds and up to 15 mm for added weld strength.

Repair: The combination of heat and pressure from the Injectiweld produces quality welds on previously unrepairable parts, allowing them to be fixed and put back into service. The Injectiweld is utilized in various industries such as: materials handling, lining, transportation, safety supply, and custom repair.

Materials that can be welded with the Injectiweld
The following table lists materials commonly welded with the Injectiweld. While many thermoplastics are weldable with the Injectiweld, some resins have not been tested extensively and therefore do not appear on the following list. Note the weld temperatures are specific to the Injectiweld system.

Material	Description	Injectiweld Weld Temp in °C	Injectiweld Weld Temp in °F
HDPE	High Density Polyethylene	265	510
LLDPE	Linear Low Density Polyethylene	265	510
HMWPE	High Molecular Weight Polyethylene	280	536
PP	Polypropylene	280	530
ABS*	Acrylnitrile Butadiene Styrene	265	510
PS	Polystyrenes	255	490
PVDF*	Poly vinyl difouride	300	572
PA*	Polyamide 6 (nylon)	300	570
PC*	Polycarbonate	300	570
PU	Polyurethane (thermoplastic)	300	570
Santoprene	TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer	280	530
X-Linked PE*	Cross-linked PE (See Special Treatment)	300	572

Materials that cannot be welded with the Injectiweld
Thermoset plastics are not weldable because they do not melt when heat is applied to them. Examples: F.R.P. (Fiberglass), Bakelite, Epoxies, Phenolics, Melamine, etc…
PVC-U/ PVC-P – PolyVinylChloride (Rigid / Flexible). The lowest temperature setting of the Injectiweld is too high for PVC-U or PVC-P. The material will burn inside the welder’s barrel. This will release chlorine gas, which is harmful to the operator’s health and will damage the aluminum parts of the welder.
PMMA – PolyMethyl MethAcrylate. Using this material inside the Injectiweld may cause the Piston Rod to become stuck. When PMMA is sheared, it exhibits very sharp edges around the circumference of the breakage. These sharp edges may prohibit the Piston Rod from moving backwards.
PFA – PerFluoro Alkoxy The weld temperature for this material exceeds the maximum temperature setting.
