Abstract
This chapter provides an overview on the utilization of various types of welding processes to bond Lupolen, a low density polyethylene (PE) polymer. Due to their thermoplastic nature, Lupolen and Lucalen moldings and film can be welded together by the application of heat and pressure. Examples of the techniques that can be adopted are vibration, ultrasonic, friction, hot-gas and hot plate welding. The main factors that govern the quality of the seam are temperature, pressure and time. In common with all other thermoplastics, Lupolen PE-HD and PE-MD blow moldings can be bonded together by the application of heat and pressure. They can also be bonded by these means to injection moldings and extruded or thermoformed articles. By virtue of their flexibility, Lupolen and Lucalen moldings can be firmly joined together by means of projections, beads, or hooks that fit into corresponding recesses. The size of the retaining angle, which may vary between 15 and 90°, determines whether the connections are permanent or can be easily loosened.
