PVC Welding

In high-speed vinyl window manufacturing, molten PVC sticking to heater plates leads to weak corner welds and more machine downtime. Taconic’s line of uPVC welding tapes and fabrics provide a superior non-stick surface that ensures clean release for uPVC extrusions at continuous operating temperatures of 500°F (260°C).

Fabric/Tape Features 
- Increased wear, abrasion, cut-through and puncture resistance
- High temperature resistance up to 500 °F (260 °C)
- Superior release properties
- Easy cleaning

 Benefits: 

- Higher quality weld
- Cost-effective production
- Increased efficiency
- Less downtime
- High heat and wear resistance 

Good Material:

For over 60 years Taconic has set the benchmark for strong standard material. Some people find Taconic standard material can provide the long life they expect while providing an economic alternative to premium materials.

Better Material:

Taconic’s wide range of fabrics and tapes include enhanced materials with stronger glasses and higher PTFE coated weights. Generally, the heavier the coating, the longer the life. Despite the heavier coatings, Taconic material will still provide excellent heat transfer to encourage quick and consistent welds.

Best Material:

The next generation of tapes and fabrics has arrived. Taconic produces a range of enhanced materials that are wear coated and heat resistant. Considering the high temperatures and continual abrasion associated with PVC Window welding, strong puncture and heat resistant materials like TacWeld help window companies achieve and exceed their goals.
