Hot Plate Welding Machine
Hot plate welding, also called heated tool welding.
Hot plate welding can be used to join some combinations of dissimilar thermoplastics. Typically, semi-crystalline plastics
are only compatible with semi-crystalline plastics, and amorphous plastics are only compatible with
amorphous plastics. If the plastics have the same melting point and melt viscosity, conventional or
high-temperature hot plate welding can be used. With different melting points or different viscosities, dual hot plates should be used,
with each hot plate set to a different temperature. Common thermoplastic combinations include.
