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 […]

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 […]

PVC welding, specifically PVC fabric welding, is a technique that uses heat or RF fields to create welds of various shapes and patterns. PVC is an acronym for polyvinyl chloride, which is a type of vinyl. PVC has been used in multiple industries for many implementations. Heat-weld PVC is widely used today because of its […]

Vinyl Technology is an anti-G suit manufacturer with 40+ years of experience supplying high-G garments for aerospace and defense programs.

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, it has a very practical meaning. A hermetic seal creates an airtight and watertight barrier. Air, vapor, dust, […]

Air Force pilots face unique challenges and extreme conditions while performing their duties. To ensure their safety and maintain peak performance, they require specially designed suits, usually referred to as anti-G suits. These suits are not only meant to protect pilots from the harsh environments they encounter but also to help them perform at their […]

Explore the essential role of fuel bladders in aviation. Discover their materials, design, and how they ensure safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

An air wedge is an inflatable, wedge-shaped bag made of vinyl, ballistic nylon, and other strong, flexible textiles. This air bag wedge lies flat, allowing it to be slipped under heavy objects, between objects that need to be moved apart, and between a moving component and an unmoving surface (like a locked car door as […]

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