Welding Basics for Plastic Materials

Not all plastics weld the same. Here's a quick guide:

Only thermoplastics (like PE or ABS) can be welded. Materials like epoxy or PTFE can’t be melted and joined.

Most dissimilar plastics can't be welded together—for example, PE won’t fuse with PP—but some like PMMA and ABS are compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions on Plastic Welding Guns

Can I use a heat gun for plastic welding?

Yes, a heat gun can be used for plastic welding, especially for tasks like bending plastic or welding thin sheets. However, for professional welds, a specialized plastic welding gun is often recommended.

Does plastic welding really work?

Yes—when performed correctly, plastic welding is an effective method for joining compatible materials. Specifically, thermoplastics (like ABS, PVC, and polyethylene) can be melted and fused into bonds that are often as strong as the base material.

There are multiple proven techniques—from hot-air, extrusion, and hot-plate welding to ultrasonic and RF welding—that produce durable, reliable welds in professional and industrial settings.

What is a plastic welding gun used for?

A plastic welding gun is used to fuse pieces of plastic together. It emits a stream of hot air that melts the plastic parts along with a filler rod, allowing the parts to be joined as the plastic cools and solidifies.

What is the best temperature for welding plastic?

The best temperature for welding plastic varies depending on the type of plastic. Generally, temperatures range from 200°C to 450°C (392°F to 842°F). It is important to use the appropriate temperature for the specific plastic to avoid burning or insufficient fusion.

What plastics cannot be welded?

Plastics that cannot be welded include thermosetting plastics, such as epoxies and phenolics, because they cannot be melted and reshaped once they are set. Additionally, some high-performance plastics with high melting temperatures or those that degrade before melting are also not suitable for welding.

Will a soldering gun weld plastic?

A soldering gun or iron can melt plastic and fuse pieces together, but these bonds are often weak and unreliable. Casual users report that joints made this way tend to break easily under stress.

For a stronger, more durable bond, it’s best to use tools specifically designed for plastic welding such as hot-air plastic welders.
