Frequently Asked Questions

  • It is important that you use the same family of material as the base material you are using. For instance, all types of Polyethylene weld rod are compatible with any PE base material. However, the weld strength may vary based on the weld rod material. You should try to closely match the properties of the weld rod to the base material. We can help you with this selection.

  • A well performed and properly fused plastic weld is typically as strong as the base material. Adherence to correct weld temperatures, good reparation, job cleanliness are important elements of a strong weld.

  • You cannot weld different families of thermoplastics together. For example, your cannot use Polypropylene to weld Polyethylene, or ABS to weld PVC. Whilst most Polyethylenes are compatible, some specific PE molecular forms are not compatible with fusion welding (such as ultra-high density PE). If unsure, always perform a test weld and destructive testing to ensure compatibility and weld strength.

  • SuperFUSION weld rod is made from a range of thermoplastics including HDPE, PE100, MDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PVC and ABS.

  • Most “thermoplastics” can be welded. Thermoplastics can be heated / melted, reshaped and fused together.

  • PP can certainly be welded. SuperFUSION’s PP grade is highly compatible across a wide range of PP types.
