Plastic strips / welding rods

Maximize your plastic welding results with the right material

Regardless of the material chosen, welding strips play an important role in providing strength and stability to the finished weld, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the joint. When used correctly, welding tapes can provide a strong, seamless transition between two pieces of plastic, making them a vital component in a wide range of industries, including the automotive and body repair section as well as marine.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) welding strips

ABS welding strips offer good chemical resistance and impact strength compared to PP, making them a popular choice on parts that will be exposed to strong chemicals or stress. However, ABS has a higher melting point and is less flexible compared to PP.

PP (Polypropylene) welding strips
PP welding strips are more flexible compared to ABS and offer a lower melting point, making them easier to work with. However, they have a lower level of chemical resistance and impact resistance compared to ABS.

Which welding strip should I choose?

The choice between PP and ABS in plastic welding depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the level of strength, flexibility, chemical resistance and impact resistance. Contact us if you need further assistance.
