High-frequency welding
This technique applies to plastic materials in the form of single, semi-rigid or rigid sheets. Thermoplastics such as phthalate-free PVC, TPU and EVA are the most commonly used. High-frequency welding joins two or more sheets together by applying an electromagnetic field. The zone reproduces the shape of the tooling called an electrode.
The high-frequency welding method depends on :
- Type of material
- Product shape
- Product dimensions
- The number of sheets to be assembled
Our expertise enables us to assist you in your choice of materials and design:
- Specific, rounded shapes
- Low or high temperatures : – 80 °C and + 80 °C
- Mechanical resistance
- Compatibility with many active pharmaceutical ingredients
- Suitable for various types of sterilization
- UV resistance
- O² and CO² barrier
- Airtight and liquid-tight
Advantages of high-frequency welding
- High mechanical strength of the weld
- Complex, rounded shapes
- Possibility of combining a flexible container with a thermoformed product
- Rapid prototyping
- Custom design
- High speeds
- Moderate tooling costs
- Accessories (foam, beads, etc.) can be added inside
- Different tubes can be integrated …
