[Q] Can all thermoplastics be welded with laser technology?


Almost all thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers can use laser welding technology. Commonly used welding materials are PP, PS, PC, ABS, polyamide, PMMA,


Polyformaldehyde, PET and PBT, etc. Some other engineering plastics such as polyphenylene sulfide PPS and liquid crystal polymers are not suitable for use because of their low laser transmittance


Light welding technology. Therefore, carbon black is often added to the underlying material so that it can absorb enough energy to meet the requirements of laser transmission welding

Polymers for laser welding: Either unfilled or glass fiber reinforced polymer materials can be used for laser welding. However, too high a glass fiber content will scatter the IR laser, reducing the beam's penetration through the polymer. Colored plastics can also be used in laser welding technology, but as the pigment or dye content increases, the penetration ability of the laser beam through the plastic will decrease.
