Description
These professional heavy duty welding rods are designed specifically for thermoplastic repair, offering reliable performance for demanding fabrication, maintenance and refurbishment tasks. Manufactured from PPC (polypropylene copolymer), they provide excellent resistance to impact, fatigue and chemicals, making them ideal for strong, durable welds on compatible plastic components.
Available in a distinctive black finish and supplied on convenient 2 kg coils, these welding rods are suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive and agricultural repairs to industrial tank fabrication and general plastic equipment maintenance. With multiple diameter and profile options to suit different welding speeds, joint types and material thicknesses, they offer a versatile solution for professional plastic welders and workshops.
Product Features
- Material: black PPC (polypropylene copolymer) welding rod for thermoplastic repair and fabrication.
- Profile options: 3 mm round and 4 mm round rods for general-purpose welding and finer work.
- Triangle profiles: 4.5 mm, 5.7 mm and 7 mm triangular rods for high-build, heavy duty or groove-filling welds.
- Supplied on 2 kg coils for efficient handling, storage and continuous welding operations.
- Consistent diameter and profile accuracy for smooth feed and uniform weld beads.
- Compatible with standard hot air and extrusion plastic welding equipment suitable for PPC.
- Black colour helps blend with dark PPC components and offers a professional finish on repairs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Heavy duty PPC formulation delivers strong, impact-resistant welds for long-lasting repairs and fabrications.
- Choice of round and triangular profiles allows you to match the rod to the joint design, from fine seams to deep V-grooves.
- 2 kg coil format minimises changeovers and downtime, ideal for production runs or extended repair work.
- Excellent chemical and fatigue resistance of PPC makes the welds suitable for demanding industrial environments.
- Black colour provides discreet, neat-looking joints on compatible dark plastics, reducing the visibility of repair lines.
- Stable, uniform rod geometry supports consistent heat input and bead formation, helping to maintain weld quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which plastics can I use these PPC welding rods with?
These rods are designed for welding PPC (polypropylene copolymer) and are suitable for use on compatible PPC components. For best results, always confirm the base material is PPC or closely compatible before welding, as dissimilar plastics generally do not weld successfully.
Which profile and size of welding rod should I choose for my job?
Use the smaller 3 mm and 4 mm round rods for thinner sections, finer joints and where a lower build-up is required. Choose the 4.5 mm, 5.7 mm or 7 mm triangular profiles for filling V-grooves, building up worn edges or working on thicker sections where more material is needed in a single pass.
Can I use these welding rods with any plastic welding tool?
These rods are suitable for use with hot air plastic welders and compatible extrusion welding equipment designed for PPC. Ensure your tool has the correct nozzles for the chosen rod profile and can achieve the recommended temperature range for polypropylene welding.
