Seamless bonding
Unlike adhesives, which can degrade over time, welding creates a homogeneous joint between sheets. This results in a stronger, more durable connection that preserves the foam’s integrity.
XLPa sheets offer several compelling benefits, particularly in the packaging, automotive, HVAC, and construction industries, and are available in sheet widths of up to 3,000 mm.
Unlike adhesives, which can degrade over time, welding creates a homogeneous joint between sheets. This results in a stronger, more durable connection that preserves the foam’s integrity.
There is no need for glues or solvents — just heat and pressure. This means there is no off-gassing or residue, making the process more environmentally friendly.
Welded XLPE retains its excellent insulation, shock absorption and chemical resistance properties across the joint. This is crucial for applications such as HVAC insulation or protective packaging.
Welding enables the precise fabrication of 3D shapes, inserts, or multi-layered structures, making it ideal for automotive interiors, tool inserts, or custom-fit packaging.
Once set up, the process is quick and repeatable, making it suitable for both small-batch prototyping and high-volume production.
Combining different materials into a single, unified structure.
Applying surface structures through heat to create defined textures.
Producing custom-fit components to exact specifications.
Allowing precise sizing and continuous material processing.
Produced via a continuous extrusion process, NOMATEC® XLPa foams offer consistent quality and customizable properties.
