Infrared welding can be used to weld a variety of thermoplastic materials, including:
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyamide (PA)
- Polyetherimide (PEI)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Polysulfone (PSU)
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
The suitability of a particular plastic for infrared welding depends on its specific material properties, such as its melting temperature, thermal conductivity, and absorption of infrared radiation.
