1958: IPS Corporation began endorsing the solvent welding technique, a type of plastic welding, and patented Weld-On solvent cement for use on plastic pipe and fittings. 1978: Weld-On developed and released color-match acrylic adhesive for bonding solid surface countertops. 1992: Weld-On formulated and introduced the first low volatile organic ...
Solvent bonding differs from adhesive bonding, because the solvent does not become a permanent addition to the joined substrate. [4] Solvent bonding differs from other plastic welding processes in that heating energy is generated by the chemical reaction between the solvent and thermoplastic, and cooling occurs during evaporation of the solvent ...
Hot gas welding, also known as hot air welding, is a plastic welding technique using heat. A specially designed heat gun, called a hot air welder, produces a jet of hot air that softens both the parts to be joined and a plastic filler rod, all of which must be of the same or a very similar plastic. (Welding PVC to acrylic is an exception to ...
J-B Weld (stylized as J-B WELD) is the name of their flagship product: a specialized, high-temperature epoxy adhesive for use in bonding materials together. The company has run advertisements showing engine block repair with J-B Weld. [2] The J-B Weld Company, founded in 1969 by Sam Bonham in Sulphur Springs, Texas, specializes in epoxy products.

Electrofusion is a method of joining HDPE and other plastic pipes with special fittings that have built-in resistive wire which is used to weld the joint together. The pipes to be joined are trimmed, cleaned, inserted into the electrofusion fitting (with a temporary clamp if required) and a voltage (typically 40V) is applied using a device ...
Plastic Cement may refer to: Cement, in the US where it refers to certain formulations of Masonry Cement; Dichloromethane, used to solvent weld some thermoplastics including acrylic; Butanone, model cement is a thick mixture with polystyrene; Tetrahydrofuran, the main solvent in PVC cement
Like all other welding methods this process utilizes heat, time, and pressure to create a weld joint. Heat is generated via internal friction generated between the two parts when rotating and subjected to a load normal to the weld joint. This frictional heat causes the plastic to melt and a bond to be created. [1]
