RF WELDING AND HEAT SEALING
What is RF Welding and Heat Sealing?
Using electromagnetic energy, RF welding fuses two materials to create an electric field, causing the oscillation of polar molecules until they align. As these polar molecules oscillate, they release heat energy, which causes the materials to fuse. RF welding requires no external heat, depending only upon pressure to guarantee a perfect seal. Unlike RF welding, heat sealing uses an external heat source to facilitate material fusion.
When choosing the right method for a project, this key difference is often the primary determiner. Other important considerations, such as the material used, the size of the project, the shape, the volume of work, the strength of the seam, and any required custom applications also matter in making the decision between RF welding and heat sealing.
How Does RF Welding/Heat Sealing Work?
To create a perfect seal by joining two materials together, many industries rely upon radiofrequency (RF) welding or heat sealing processes. Utilized in military, medical, manufacturing, or industrial production, heat sealing or RF welding ensures the strength of a bond between two materials.
Advantages of RF Welding and Heat Sealing
As distinct processes, both RF welding and heat sealing offer different advantages to regard for a specific application.
Though the unique project, material, size, or quantity ultimately determines whether to use RF welding or heat sealing, both processes deliver high-quality fused products.
The benefits of RF welding include:
- Better control over thin materials
- Fast material heating
- Safe handling
- Enhances seal, both in appearance and bond strength
- Keeps shape immediately after seal
- Accommodates for tight dimensional tolerances, when necessary
- Works well for products which require tube or port welds
- Suits small or moderately sized products
- Fits large-quantity production models
Heat sealing may be appropriate when:
- Welding thick materials
- Using a closed chamber or a tube-type construction
- Requiring complex configurations
- Forming large, curved constructions
- Welding large or oversized projects
