Plastic Welding’s Role with Thermal Assembly

Plastic welding allows you to produce a molecular bond between thermoplastic materials. It delivers first-rate strength, and the finished weld is durable, so you won’t need repairs or replacement for a long time.

Plastic welding provides a manufacturer with assembly options for their applications and devices.  At Thermal Press International, we can consult with you on your final assembly to determine the best process, whether plastic welding, thermal press assembly or other technologies.

Our plastic assembly services include:

At Thermal Press International, we often advise customers on how to optimize their plastic parts assembly and manufacturing process. If you are joining plastic parts to form a single assembly, you need to understand the factors that can influence the quality of the bond and possibly lead to product liability issues.

Thermal Press has the experience and equipment to help you succeed in optimizing your entire plastic parts assembly process for any kind of application. Let’s look at what you must consider when you want to create high-quality plastic part assemblies.

heat sealing process

Port Sealing: An Effective Heat Sealing Solution

by Lance Crawford, Thermal Press International, Inc.

Heat sealing is the process of sealing one thermoplastic to another similar thermoplastic using heat and pressure. The direct contact method of heat sealing utilizes a constantly heated die or sealing bar to apply heat to a specific contact area or path to seal or weld the thermoplastics together. Heat sealing is used for many applications, including heat seal connectors, thermally activated adhesives and film or foil sealing.
