Compatibility Chart of Plastic Materials for Ultrasonic Welding

Creating Strong Bonds with Thermoplastics: Material Compatibility Matters  

When it comes to joining thermoplastic parts, achieving a strong and lasting bond is one of the crucial factors: chemical compatibility.

The materials need to be fundamentally compatible to form a secure connection. Merely melting them at the same temperature isn’t enough.

Even if two materials melt at the same temperature, they may not form a molecular bond if they’re not chemically compatible.

For instance, polypropylene and polyethylene share similar appearances and many physical properties as semi-crystalline materials. However, they lack chemical compatibility, preventing them from bonding to each other through welding.

In many cases, it’s essential to weld similar materials together, like joining ABS to ABS.




Referring to the above chart we can see that

ABS is Fully Compatible with materials like ABS, ABS/PC, and PMMA. Whereas ABS may or may not be compatible with PS-GP, PS-HI, PVC-U, and SAN-NAS-ASA. There may be a possibility of Compatibility in such cases.

And ABS is not compatible with materials like CA, CP, CAB, ECTFE, LCP, PPO, etc.

Not all plastics weld the same!

While many factors affect welding success, different materials have unique needs. To ensure successful welding, factors such as materials, appearance, and specific requirements are taken into consideration.

Ultrasonic Fabic Cutting Machine: Effortless Cutting & Sealing of Fabric for your Textile Industry

Image
The Task We had to design an Ultrasonic Fabric Cutting Machine & Sealing machine that can be attached to the Circular looms for center or side slitting of the PP/HDPE woven fabric having a GSM range of 80-270 GSM. Click here to learn more The Solution Initially, the client used heat cutters for cutting and sealing, which leads to the formation of a blackish Burr, and moreover, the removal of the Burr leads to the fraying of tapes. While manufacturing FIBC/Jumbo Bags Burrs are not acceptable. These bags were supplied to Food, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Industries. To solve the above problem we provided six Ultrasonic Fabric Cutting machines & Sealing machines of 1000w/36KHz that were attached at the center or on the two sides depending on the requirement. Advantages Ceramic Blades used for Sealing and Cutting Prevents the fraying of tapes No Burr formation Reduced rejection rate Visit our Website

SIEVING OF POWDER

Image
The Task To provide a solution for blinding and clogging of sieve while sieving of powder coating. Powder coating manufacturers find difficulty not only in sieving coating powder but also in cleaning the sieves using conventional sieving method. Know more about Ultrasonic Sieving Technology The Solution In this case, the task is successfully completed by giving flame-proof Ultrascreen attachment along with a vibrosifter. The client also procure four extra ring resonators for different grades of mesh. The Advantages Increase in throughput volume - 30 times Increase in efficiency Reduction in power consumption “Even non-pharma international clients trust RTUL as their one stop solution for powder sieving needs and procures Ultrascreen attachment + vibro sifter as a complete package” Visit our Website
