Identifying Plastics For Plastic Welding

IDENTIFYING PLASTICS

1. On most Plastic parts on the back side there will be a symbol.This symbol tells the welder what kind of plastic you are working with.(If no symbol is found then you will have to weld different rods to see if the rod will hold to the plastic)
2. This is a very important step because to weld Plastic the filler rod has to be the same as the Plastic being welded.{unless you use the fiber-flex rod, but this rod only comes in black}
3. There are 2 families of plastics 1}thermoset  and 2}thermoplastic
4. THERMOSET -Can not be melted and reused.
5. THERMOPLASTIC-Can be melted and reused

SYMBOL CHART

THERMOSET PLASTIC

• PUR, RIM,RRIM- These are usually flexible. Bubble and smoke when melted.When welding Don't melt base material! Melt the welding rod into the v-groove like a hot melt glue.

THERMOPLASTIC

• ABS-{Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene}- Rigid, can be of any color, Used on interior plastic parts in cars,trucks and also household goods parts of sweepers, handles on pots ect.
• EEBC-{Ether Ester Block Copolymer}- Flexible, off-white in color. Best to use Uni-Weld fiberflex.
• EMA-{Ethylene Methacrylic Acid}-Semi-rigid, comes in many colors.Use Uni-weld fiberflex.
• PA-{Polyamide(nylon)-rigid,sands finely.Used on Radiator tanks, headlamp bezel, exterior trim parts, mirror.
• PC+ABS PULSE-{Polycarbonate & ABS}-Rigid, usually dark in color,sands finely.Preheat plastic with welder before welding.
• PC+PBT-{Xenoy a Polycarbonate blend}-Very rigid.Used for bumper covers.Preheat plastic with weld before welding.
• PE-{Polyethylene}-Semi-flexible, melts & smears when grinding usually semi-translucent.Used on overflow tanks, inner fender panels, ATV fenders. Applying filler or painting is impossible.
• PP-{Polypropylene}-Semiflexible, melts and smears when grinding.
• PPO+PA-{Noryl GTX (Nylon blend)}-Semi-rigid, usually off-white in color.car fenders and exterior trim. Preheat plastic with welder before welding.
• TEEE-{Thermoplastic Ether Ester Elastomer}- Flexible, Used on bumpers, panels. Use fiberflex welding rod.
• TPE-{thermoplastic Elastomer}-Semi-flexible, melts and smears when grinding. Used on bumper covers, under the hood parts.Use Uni-Weld Fiberflex rod.
• TPO, TEO, PP/EPDM-{Thermoplastic Olefin}-Semi-flexible melts and smears when grinding. Used on Gilles,interior parts, snowmobile cowls.Use Uni-Weld Fiberflex rod.
• TPU, TPUR-{Thermoplastic Polyurethane}-Flexible,Sands finely. Bumper covers,soft filler panels. Use urethane rod or uni- weld Fiberflex rod.

Usually most house hold items are made from abs, but if not sure you will need to do a test weld on plastic. Make sure that you do the test. Where you will not be able to see it so that it doesn't show on your part and cause you more work (like sanding and ect.) As always be careful the

welder is hot and can burn you or cause a fire!

Replacement Plastic Welding Rods $16.85 Replacement Plastic Welding Rods Includes 10 ft. of wire Choose from: Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polypropylene, Polyethylene, or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Color: ABS Welding Wire

Portasol PTLPP75 Plastic Welding Kit $231.07 A cordless kit for plastic welding repair easy to use the Portasol PP75 requires no special training. The plastic welder transfers heat through contactso there is no oxidation of parts by hot air. A reliable professional tool made from butane compatiable plastics and featuring an ultrasonically welded tank prevents gas leaking and addsstrength and durability. Packed in a robust carry and transport case. Contents include:. Plastic Welder. PE welding rods. PS welding rods. PP welding rods. ABS welding rods. Reinforcment grid. Brass brush. Cleaning Piston. Instruction leaflet. Cordless self igniting plastic welder no special training needed. Welding can be carried out next to heat sensitive components e.g. Cables foams textiles. Thin plastic parts can be welded no uncontrolled heat transfer which means less wrinkles in the parts to be welded. Problematic plastics that absorb water are easier to weld e.g. ABS PC and PA plastics. Reinforcement grid for extra strength or where a hole needs to be filled. Dimension: 7 W x 9.2 L x 2 H.

Anchor Brand - Gas Welding & Brazing Rods $4.3 General-purpose welding supplies. Welding/brazing alloys and flukes made from low fuming bronze Acts as a general-purpose, copper base alloy brazing rod used extensively for gas brazing steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper alloys, and nickel alloys Widely used because of its low fuming characteristics and good mechanical properties Some applications require preheating and a bronze brazing flux is required for uncoated rods Low melting point makes it easily machinable and ideal for sheet metal work Possesses high tensile strength and good ductility No additional flux is required because the tool comes with a flux coating Premium MIG & TIG welding supplies ideal for welding on all grades of mild and carbon steels Produces high quality welds with minimal porosity Triple deoxidized wire design (Zirconium, Titanium, and Aluminum) makes it ideal for welding over rust and mill scale No flux required on brazing applications 36" length sections are marked on both ends for easy identification General purpose welding/brazing alloys and flukes that are copper coated gas welding rods used for welding low carbon steels up to 1/4" thick Possess good ducitility and mechanical properties No flux needed when brazing this product High strength welding/brazing alloys and flukes ideal for brazing low carbon and low alloy steels Possess high tensile strength Contains high silicon and manganese content eliminating the need for flux when welding
