How to ID Plastics prior to Hot Air Welding

Plastics Identification:

You can only weld “like” materials. For example, Polypropylene (most car bumers) can only be welded with a Polypropylene welding rod.

The quickest, safest and easiest way to do this is using a Techspan Rod Test Kit or RTK

The Techspan® Flooron is an automatic welder for welding thermoplastic and linoleum flooring. The automatic welder has an automatic drive start system, and an optical device to stop the machine at the wall and prevent burning the floor material.

The machine has 2 cutting speeds (14,800 and 18,500 rpm), easily changeable blade, and integrated dust extraction fan and dust bag.
