Radio Frequency Welding the Wave of the Future

Today, more and more companies are turning to radio frequency welding including industries such as companies that create awnings, cured in Place Pipeline, Filtration, Flexible Ducting, Ventilation, Geo-membranes, Inflatable Welding Machine, Packaging, Pools, Roofing, Sign Finishing, Tarps, and Tents. Even the Pharmaceutical Industry is using radio frequency welding in the creation of many of their products due to the endurance.

What is Radio Frequency Welding?

This process is also known as high-frequency welding and bonds materials together using electromagnetic energy. How this occurs is that two electrodes make what is known as an oscillating electric field that starts to shift as well as move around polar molecules that are found in the materials to place them properly in the electromagnetic field. The way in which they move releases energy as heat. When there is enough energy created, the molecules will start to melt which allows them to bond to each other, without the use of external heat. All that is left to do is to apply pressure to the area that has been bonded.

Advantages of Radio Frequency Welding

This process is not perfect for all materials, but for those that are compatible the welding process is excellent as it will form a bond that is airtight, waterproof seams, and is strong.

The popularity of radio frequency welding is the leak-proof seam that the procedure creates. The seal that is created will not allow fluids, vapors, gas, or air to leave or enter which makes it perfect for various industries such as the military as well as medical industries.

The seals that are created with this procedure are stronger than other types of sealants which will ensure the quality of the products that will be able to withstand harsh situations and heavy usage.

Main Features

·        ** Seals custom products that have intricate designs or patterns

·         **Will form with large as well as small products

·         **Has the ability to join several layers that are close to the same or divide polar molecular materials

Radio frequency welding is very reliable and effective for creating a variety of inflatable products that are often used in the medical field. Some of the products that would benefit from this process include blood bags, IV bags, pressure cuffs, colostomy bags, saline bags, and glucose bags.

Before using the old fashioned methods of placing seams together it would be in your best interest to learn more about radio frequency welding. Once you talk with a professional, you will be able to make an educated decision if the process is the best for your product and for your customers or clients. Choosing the professional that will ensure they can create the product that will be completely airtight and waterproof and will not allow any type of seepage from the product or any other foreign object from entering your product will be your best solution. All products are customizable and can even have your own logo placed on the product and of course, can be used on the smallest or largest products as long as the material is compatible.
