Welding Hi-Core®
For durable cost effective assembly of Hi-Core® boxes,
displays and containers, there are several types of welding
that can give excellent results.
Most Ultra Sonic Welding equipment
suppliers have systems, that are designed to create high
strength point welds on corrugated
plastic. This proven technique leaves an indented weld spot
that has been likened to a belly button.
Hand welding tools
are available that extrude a continuous bead of plastic resin
to weld 90º corners or attach accessories.
This material is bonded on the surface like a bead of caulking.
Some designers have used this type of tool to fill the
open flutes to seal them.
Hot air welding tools have been designed
to heat, melt and bond Hi-Core® sheet to sheet in the fashion
of a glue
lap
or a panel to panel overlap joint.
