RF Welding

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. Fuel bladders 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 gas […]

A fuel tank bladder 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 […]

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

Radio frequency welding, also known as dielectric welding, is a plastic welding process that utilizes high-frequency electric fields for sealing plastic sheets together. This process allows manufacturers to join thermoplastic materials together and is especially useful for welding lap joints or seals on plastic sheets or plastic parts. This process is so effective that it’s […]

What is a Marine Fuel Bladder? The fuel tank is one of the most important parts of any device (usually a vehicle) that uses liquid fuel. It is where the gas is stored before it gets burned in an engine. We think of fuel tanks as metal structures, but this is not always the case. […]

You might have seen the phrase “hermetically sealed” before and wondered what it meant. It’s a common description from science fiction movies, where the characters convey just how sealed off a location or object is. It’s used a lot in marketing, too, for much of the same reason — “hermetically sealed” is another way of […]

Heat sealing and welding are often used interchangeably when people talk about industrial sewing. Although there are multiple methods of joining fabrics like vinyl together, the end result of vinyl welding is the same: a waterproof and airtight hermetic seal. How Does RF Welding Work? Though it’s been around since at least the 1970s, RF […]

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