How to weld flexible PVC sheet
Here is a video clip showing a recent application requirement.
Welding of flexible PVC approx 8 – 10mm in thickness. We used two welding techniques –
Speed Welding –
The term “Speed Welding” gets its name from the fact that it is a relatively fast process compared to that of other welding techniques.
Fit the standard nozzle on the welding tool. Select the correct “Speed Welding” nozzle to suit the corresponding welding rod profile – these are available to suit a range of welding rod profiles. The Speed Welding nozzles are an easy push fit onto the standard nozzle. Once up to temperature, simply insert the welding rod into the Speed Welding nozzle and apply a downward pressure on the welding rod itself. The “Speed Welding” process is fast, and very easy to achieve.
Tape Welding –
Here we used a “Wide Slot” nozzle which is fitted in place of the standard nozzle on the tool. Ensure the clamp is secure. The wide slot of the nozzle is directed between the parent material and the welding tape. This method does not use consumable welding rod (as above), as you can cut strips (tape) from the parent material sheets.
