Frequently Asked Questions

We are capable. The items must be completely clean and dry, like new material would be. Typically the cost to repair is more than people think.

Some fabrics can be heat or RF welded if they have a heat or RF sensitive coating on them.

Thermal impulse welding works by utilizing momentary pulses of heat generated through electrical currents applied to a heated wire or bar. The heat is directed to the bonding area of thermoplastic materials, where it melts the layers under pressure. Once melted, the materials are allowed to cool under controlled conditions, forming an airtight, watertight, and durable seal. This precise process is ideal for intricate applications requiring high-quality bonds. Learn More About Thermal Impulse Welding.

The heat sealing process involves applying heat and pressure to bond layers of thermoplastic or coated materials. This is achieved by bringing the materials into contact with a heated sealing bar or wire, which melts their surfaces. Upon cooling, a strong and reliable seal is formed. Different methods, like direct heat sealing or thermal impulse welding, are used depending on material type and application requirements.
