ALL CAPABILITIES CAPABILITY

Welding

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.

WHAT Welding BRINGS TO THE MATERIAL

Capability Steps
01

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.

02

Clean and chemical-free

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.

03

Maintains thermal and mechanical properties

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.

04

Customisation and complex shapes

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.

05

Cost-effective and scalable

Once set up, the process is quick and repeatable, making it suitable for both small-batch prototyping and high-volume production.
