Plastic Welding Services UK | Strong, Durable Joins for Industrial Plastic Fabrication

Introduction

When strength matters as much as precision, plastic welding is the go-to method for creating durable, structural joins in fabricated components. At S&D Solutions, we offer professional plastic welding services for clients across the UK — commonly used in machine guards, industrial housings, and heavy-duty custom fabrications.

If you need a join that holds under pressure, resists vibration, and supports load — welding is the answer.

What is Plastic Welding?

Plastic welding is the process of fusing two plastic components together using heat and pressure. Unlike bonding or mechanical fixings, plastic welding creates a continuous material join providing superior strength and durability.

We use a variety of welding methods depending on the material and application, including:

• Hot air welding

• Extrusion welding

• Contact welding

Each method is selected based on the type of plastic, the required strength, and the part geometry.

When to Use Plastic Welding

Welding is ideal when:

• The component must withstand stress, weight, or impact

• Long-term durability is essential

• A mechanical fixing isn’t suitable or may weaken the structure

• A water- or air-tight seal is needed

Typical Applications

Our plastic welding services are commonly used in:

• Machine guarding frames and support structures

• Heavy-duty enclosures and industrial housings

• Fabricated tanks and containers

• Protective barriers and control panels

• Custom ducting or formed channels

We work with a range of plastics including PVC, HDPE, ABS, and PP, with each weld tailored to suit the application.

Benefits of Plastic Welding

• Stronger than bonded joins in load-bearing situations

• No mechanical fixings needed — reducing cost and part count

• Seamless finish when done by professionals

• Suitable for harsh or high-use environments

All welding is carried out in-house by experienced technicians, ensuring the join is reliable, clean, and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between plastic welding and bonding?

Bonding uses adhesives to join plastic; welding fuses the plastic itself for stronger, structural joins.

What types of plastic can be welded?

Most thermoplastics can be welded, including PVC, HDPE, PP, and ABS. Acrylic typically isn’t welded — it’s bonded instead.

Do you offer welding on-site?

No — all welding is carried out in our workshop for quality control. We can measure and install on-site if needed.

Is plastic welding suitable for guards and frames?

Yes — it’s commonly used for structural elements of machine guarding systems.
