What Is Plastic Welding Rod?
Plastic welding rod is thermoplastic filler material used to join, repair or fabricate compatible plastic parts. The welding rod and parent material are heated so compatible materials can fuse.
Hot Air and Hot Gas Welding
Rod can be hand-fed or used with speed-welding nozzles while controlled hot air heats the rod and parent material.
Extrusion Welding
Extrusion welders melt and deposit compatible thermoplastic for larger weld beads, fabrication and heavy-duty repair.
Plastic Welding Rod Materials
Select a material below to view its dedicated page. Provide the parent material grade or resin designation when available.
PE and HDPE Welding Rod
LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE and HMWPE welding rod for compatible tanks, liners, containment and industrial fabrication.
Polypropylene Welding Rod
PP welding rod for compatible tanks, ductwork, process equipment and corrosion-resistant fabrication.
PVC Welding Rod
Rigid and flexible PVC welding rod for compatible fabrication, ductwork, repair and flooring programs.
PVDF Welding Rod
PVDF welding rod for compatible chemical-resistant, high-purity and demanding industrial fabrication.
PETG Welding Rod
PETG welding rod for compatible clear, display, protective and specialty fabrication.
TPU and Polyurethane Welding Rod
TPU welding rod for compatible flexible, impact-resistant and abrasion-resistant thermoplastic applications.
Material matching matters:
welding rod should be compatible with the parent material being welded.
Include the resin grade, material designation or representative sample
with your inquiry when available.
Plastic Welding Rod Manufacturing Capability
New Image Plastics Manufacturing is a thermoplastic extrusion manufacturer—not simply a welding rod reseller.
We manufacture plastic welding rod, welding profiles and specialty extrusions for industrial customers requiring consistent supply and custom production support.
Available program types can include round rod, triangle shapes, double-bar rod, micro rod, cap strip, welding ribbon strip and reviewed custom profiles.
Manufacturer-direct support:
discuss material, color, profile, packaging and repeat-production
requirements directly with the manufacturer.

Common questions from fabricators, purchasing departments, distributors and OEM customers.
What is plastic welding rod?
Plastic welding rod is thermoplastic filler material used during hot air, hot gas and extrusion welding. Rod should be compatible with the parent material being welded.
What welding rod materials do you manufacture?
Materials can include PE and HDPE grades, polypropylene, PVC, PVDF, PETG, TPU and compatible specialty thermoplastics, depending on the application.
Is the welding rod manufactured in the USA?
New Image Plastics Manufacturing produces plastic welding rod and specialty thermoplastic profiles in Canal Fulton, Ohio.
Can you match a custom welding rod color?
Custom color programs can be reviewed using a physical sample or documented color reference together with the parent-material requirements.
Do you support OEMs and distributors?
OEM, distributor, recurring-production and qualified private-label requirements can be reviewed.
Can customer-supplied material be used?
Some customer-supplied-material programs can be reviewed when consistency, compatibility and processing requirements are appropriate.
What information should I send for a quote?
Send the parent material, known grade, color, diameter or profile, packaging preference, estimated quantity, application and required timing.
