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 weldingjoins 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

Advantages of high-frequency welding

  • High mechanical strength of the weld
  • Complex shapes
  • Possibility of combining a flexible container with a thermoformed product
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Custom design
  • High speeds
  • Moderate tooling costs
