Since their creation in the early 1800’s, plastics have come a long way. Today, the many different types of plastics available have become an integral component of daily life throughout most of the world. It is a rare business or household in Australia and New Zealand that doesn’t have any plastic goods in it.
Where Can’t Plastics Be Used?
The large range of plastics, including PVC, HDPE, polyethylene, polycarbonate and acrylic, mean that plastics can be put to use in most circumstances where, previously, only metal, glass, concrete or porcelain would have been suitable.
The main exceptions are applications where the plastic will be exposed to high temperatures and certain chemicals.
Plastic Welding – Now Easy
Fabrication of plastic into certain shapes may require the use of plastic welding tools to hold different plastic components together. Plastic welding tools enable the plastic to be heated to a temperature that enables a strong bond to be formed. Once cooled, the plastics retain their shape, are impervious to leaks and are resistant to breaking.
Plastic Welding Tools
In days gone by, the welding of plastics was only possible by large industrial plants with dedicated equipment and specialist staff. Today, however, different types of plastic welding tools are available to everyone, including small fabricators, hobbyists and DIY inventors.
The range of plastic welding tools includes tools for:
- Plastic extrusion
