Is Radio Frequency Welding Right for My Product?

Much like the way microwaves alter and heat the water molecules in food, radio frequency welding does the same to the molecules in polar-molecular materials in order to rearrange them and fuse the materials together. A press seals two layers of material together, forming a new layer that is stronger than the original materials. The resulting seam is leak-proof and durable, resisting tearing under harsh conditions.

RF welding is used in the medical, military, government, aviation and pharmaceutical industries, along with many others. Air and fluid containment bags constructed with RF welding will resist tearing over long periods of use. Other products such as PCA hoses also benefit from radio frequency welding, with no risk of air leakage.

While RF welding might be ideal for many products, it isn’t the right process for all of them. Other heat sealing services might be better suited for certain materials. SealWerks can help determine which service is right for fabricating your product.
