Heat Sealing (a.k.a. RF Sealing, RF welding. Di-Electric Sealing) is the process of joining thermoplastic films using radio frequency energy. The RF energy is directed through electrodes (dies) shaped to the desired configuration of the finished product. This makes RF Sealing the most versatile of the plastic sealing methods. One constraint of this method, however, is that there are limited materials which can be welded with RF. Acceptable materials are primarily vinyls (PVC), ether and ester-based urethanes (PU), and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). These materials are often coated or laminated onto substrates for additional strength and versatility. With over 40 RF machines and its arsenal ever growing, VTI is uniquely poised to meet the capacity and capability requirements of the most demanding customers. Models range from standard to bar welders to dual cycle machines, including proprietary equipment with up to 48" x 96" seal area; high volume projects utilize shuttle and turntable configurations.

VTI offers two types of Ultra Sonic welding: press-style and sewing machine (continuous) style for bonding non-polarized fabrics and films, which is an optimal solution for continuous length applications such as tubing, liners, blankets and etc. Ultrasonic welding is an industrial technique whereby high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are used to weld plastics together, and works well where RF cannot be used including joining dissimilar materials. This type of welding is used to build assemblies that are too small, too complex or too delicate for more common welding techniques. In ultrasonic welding, there are no connective bolts, nails, soldering materials or adhesives necessary to bind the materials together. If this core Vinyl Technology service proves to be ideal for your product, our team will recommend various ways you can employ the technique.
