Polo’s diverse skill set allows us to address your unique requirements, regardless of the project's complexity. Identifying the appropriate manufacturing capabilities is a crucial phase in ensuring the successful development of your project.

Polo’s Sealing Capabilities

Polo Custom Products provides a wide range of sealing techniques, expertly chosen to match the unique requirements of your project. Hot Air Welding, Impulse Sealing, and Ultrasonic Sealing are methods outside of RF Welding that Polo offers. Each method has its distinct advantages that can fast track the trajectory of your product’s manufacturability. If you are interested in learning more about RF Welding specifically, please see Applications and Benefits of RF Welding.

Choosing the Right Sealing Method

When it comes to sealing and bonding materials, there are several techniques to choose from. Each method has its own unique advantages and applications, making it essential to understand how they differ. Working with the experts to choose the right method not only ensures the integrity and durability of the final product but also impacts production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Having a team like Polo on your side ensures you understand the unique characteristics and benefits of each sealing method. With our in-house expertise, we can align your project’s specific needs with the most effective sealing solution, leading to an innovative outcome.

Hot Air Welding

Hot air welding is best suited for thermoplastic materials. These are plastics that become soft and pliable when heated and return to a solid state upon cooling. Thermoplastics ideal for hot air welding include PVC, Polyolefins, TPO, PETG. Hot air welders are easier to use because they don’t require the detailed tooling that RF Welding does. This process is ideal for larger products such as large bags or duffle bags, as it provides flexibility in maneuvering large materials with curves and edges. It is the preferred method for sealing complex or difficult-to reach areas, as hot air welding is effective for handling complex 3D shapes. Thicker, heavier materials are recommended for this process.

Impulse Sealing

Impulse sealing is energy-efficient, and ideal for high-speed production of smaller products. It bonds materials instantly with minimal energy usage, suitable for various materials like polypropylene, polyethylene, foils, mylars, and even Tyvek and nonwoven. The process produces clean, strong seals without adhesives, resulting in less waste and a cleaner operation.

Ultrasonic Sealing

Ultrasonic sealing is great for making precise, small seals. It works well for joining straps, hooks, or loops. This method is best for flat surfaces but not limited to that, it can also be used on corners in some instances. Polo’s ultrasonic sealing is a rapid process, often completing in seconds. This makes it suitable for a high-speed production environment. Ultrasonic sealing is well within the capabilities of Polo.

Heat Sealing

This method bonds materials together using heat and pressure. The materials are softened and then pressed together and cooled to form the seal. A variety of materials can be heat sealed, including but not limited to: polypropylene, PVC, polyethylene, PET, polystyrene. If it melts when heated, you can probably heat seal it. Heat sealing is a vital process in medical manufacturing that enhances product safety, reliability, and efficiency, making it a cornerstone of modern medical solutions.
