Description
These premium high-performance welding rods are designed specifically for professional plastic repair, using white PPC (polypropylene copolymer) material for strong, clean and reliable welds. Manufactured to a consistent profile and diameter, they offer excellent flow and bond characteristics, helping you achieve durable, long-lasting joins across a wide range of polypropylene components.
Ideal for industrial and commercial applications, these rods are supplied in convenient 2 kg coils and are available in a choice of round and triangular profiles to suit different joint types and welding techniques. From fabrication shops and maintenance departments to automotive workshops and production lines, they provide a dependable solution for structural and cosmetic plastic repairs.
Product Features
- Material: high-quality white PPC (polypropylene copolymer) for strong, compatible plastic welds.
- Available profiles: 3 mm round for fine work and detail repairs.
- Available profiles: 4 mm round for general-purpose welding and everyday repair tasks.
- Triangular profiles: 4.5 mm, 5.7 mm and 7 mm triangle rods for filling wider gaps and creating strong fillet welds.
- Supplied in practical 2 kg coil format for reduced handling and fewer changeovers.
- Consistent rod diameter and profile for smooth feeding through hot air and extrusion welding equipment.
- White colour for easy visual inspection of weld quality and colour matching to white or light-coloured PPC components.
Key Features and Benefits
- Professional-grade PPC formulation ensures excellent adhesion and fusion with compatible polypropylene copolymer parts, reducing the risk of joint failure.
- Choice of round and triangular profiles allows you to tailor the weld bead to the job, whether carrying out fine detail repairs or building up structural joints.
- 2 kg coils provide a generous supply of rod, improving productivity on larger projects and minimising downtime for reloading.
- High dimensional accuracy promotes consistent heat transfer and welding performance, leading to neater, more uniform weld seams.
- White rods make it easier to see the weld pool and identify any imperfections during and after welding, supporting high-quality workmanship.
- Suitable for use with common hot air and extrusion welding tools, integrating smoothly into existing workshop processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these welding rods be used on all types of plastic?
No, these rods are formulated specifically for use with PPC (polypropylene copolymer) plastics. For the best bond and weld integrity, they should only be used on compatible PPC components. Using them on other plastic types may result in poor adhesion or joint failure.
Which profile should I choose for my repair job?
As a guide, 3 mm and 4 mm round rods are well suited to finer repairs, thinner sections and general-purpose welding, while the 4.5 mm, 5.7 mm and 7 mm triangular rods are ideal for filling wider gaps, building up material and creating strong fillet welds. The choice will depend on joint size, access and the strength required.
Are these rods compatible with standard hot air welding equipment?
Yes, these PPC welding rods are designed for use with common hot air and extrusion welding tools that are suitable for polypropylene welding. Always follow your equipment manufacturer’s guidance on temperature and settings for PPC materials to achieve the best results.
