RF Welding

Reliable mil-spec gear comes down to industrial sewing and RF welding. Learn how thread choice, stitch type, and welded seams keep gear field-ready.

Industrial heat sealing joins two pieces of heat-sealable material with a bond that can hold out air and water. People also call it heat welding. The process uses heat and pressure to connect compatible fabrics, films, or coated materials into one sealed seam. For Vinyl Technology, a heat seal often involves PVC, vinyl fabric, or […]

You have probably seen the phrase “hermetically sealed” on packaging, lab equipment, medical products, or in a sci-fi scene where somebody is very serious about a door staying shut. The phrase sounds a little dramatic. In manufacturing, hermetically sealed has a very practical meaning. A hermetic seal creates an airtight and watertight barrier. Air, vapor, […]

Fuel bladder v hard tank – this is a common topic vehicle engineers have debated for years when deciding how to store the fuel supply of their designs. Bladder fuel tanks are created with industrial sewing technology and are key to smooth operations for many applications. It’s not just your car or lawnmower that needs […]

For many years, medical RF welding has been used in the device manufacturing industry for seals to make products like bags for intravenous infusions and for the collection of bodily fluids. As the industry has grown rapidly with the population getting older, the demand for more disposable bags and other PPE has grown by leaps […]

RF welding and RF heat sealing are often used interchangeably when people talk about the kind of industrial sewing we do at Vinyl Technology. Although the result of RF welding often resembles the same airtight and waterproof barrier you get from a traditional heat seal, the technology requires no heat at all. Our RF sealing […]

Inflatable bladders’ functions are primarily for industrial, medical, and marine industries. Air bladders are used to treat broken limbs and transport patients in the medical field. You might also see them used as seat cushions in aircraft. And when it comes to the water, air bladders are often used as a flotation device with an […]

Military UAV fuel tanks require high-performing fuel bladders that provide mechanical strength and airtightness for military operations.

From a pool raft to a life-saving water rescue device to an inflatable building, vinyl and PVC welding techniques guarantee a waterproof seal and an airtight bond that you can rely on to help save lives or even give you an air mattress to sleep on. Vinyl welding is your best choice. Learn how to […]

A fuel bladder tank is a type of membrane that is used to hold hazardous liquids of all kinds, but especially fuel. These membranes are typically made of two layers of thermoplastic material. The membrane is made using a thermal-plastic welding process. The bladder functions as a separator in the tank, preventing leaks and spills […]
