Plastic Welding Rod Manufacturer
Manufacturer-direct plastic welding rod for HDPE, PP, PVC, PVDF, PETG, TPU and other compatible thermoplastic materials, depending on the parent material being welded. Custom colors, sizes and profiles are available.

What Is Plastic Welding Rod?
Plastic welding rod is thermoplastic filler material used to join, repair or fabricate compatible plastic parts. The welding rod and parent material are heated so compatible materials can fuse.
Match the Parent Material
Welding rod should be compatible with the parent material being welded. Material grade, formulation and application can affect the appropriate rod choice.
Hot Air & Hot Gas Welding
Plastic welding rod can be hand-fed or used with speed welding nozzles while controlled hot air heats the welding rod and parent plastic.
Extrusion Welding
Extrusion welders melt and deposit thermoplastic material for larger weld beads, structural fabrication and heavy-duty plastic repair.
