Thermal bonding of plastic extrusions to molded plastic hubs avoids the use of solvents or adhesives while providing a superior strength joint. Polymers must be compatible and suitable for heat bonding. Differences in wall thicknesses between the tube and the hub create unique challenges. Precise external geometric configurations and thermal profiling help assure maximum joint strength. A wide variation in tube sizes, joint designs and polymer choices add extra layers of complexity to the bonding process. Vante and PlasticWeld diverse equipment options provide you with unmatched versatility to meet your specific production challenges.
