Description
This premium rigid UPVC welding rod in light grey is designed for reliable plastic repair, fabrication and modification of UPVC components. Manufactured to a consistent 4mm round profile, it provides stable, predictable performance for professional welding tasks using hot air or extrusion welding equipment.
Supplied in a convenient 2kg coil, this welding rod is ideal for industrial and commercial applications where durable, weather-resistant joints are essential. The light grey colour makes it particularly suited to matching common UPVC profiles used in construction, signage, cladding and general plastic fabrication.
Product Features
- Material: rigid UPVC welding rod for strong, durable plastic joints.
- Profile: 4mm round section for consistent feed and controlled weld beads.
- Colour: light grey to blend with standard UPVC components and profiles.
- Supply format: supplied in 2kg coils for efficient storage and handling.
- Professional grade: suitable for industrial, commercial and workshop use.
- Compatible with most hot air and extrusion plastic welding equipment.
- Ideal for fabrication, repair and modification of rigid UPVC parts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Ensures strong, homogeneous welds with rigid UPVC substrates, helping to maximise joint strength and service life.
- 4mm round profile offers smooth, consistent feeding through welding nozzles, reducing interruptions and improving weld quality.
- Light grey colour provides a neat, unobtrusive finish on matching UPVC components, minimising the need for post-finishing.
- 2kg coil format reduces changeovers and waste compared with shorter lengths, improving productivity on larger jobs.
- Engineered for dimensional consistency, helping to maintain stable welding temperatures and bead formation.
- Suitable for both repair and new fabrication work, supporting versatile use across maintenance, construction and production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this welding rod suitable for use with any type of plastic?
No, this product is designed specifically for use with rigid UPVC materials. For the best results, it should only be used to weld compatible UPVC substrates rather than other plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or ABS.
What welding equipment do I need to use this UPVC welding rod?
This welding rod is compatible with most hot air and extrusion plastic welding tools that can accept a 4mm round profile. Ensure your equipment is set to the correct temperature range for UPVC and use a suitable welding nozzle for the bead size required.
Can I cut the 2kg coil into shorter lengths for easier handling?
Yes, the coil can be cut into manageable lengths to suit your welding technique or equipment. Cutting the coil does not affect performance, provided the rod is kept clean, dry and free from contamination before use.
