Repair body panels, fenders, and bumpers quickly with Leister's cost-effective plastic welding tools.
TRIAC ST Hot Air Hand Tool
The TRIAC ST from Leister is simple and easy to use. Output is controlled via a potentiometer. Integrated blower means no external air supply needed. |
TRIAC AT Hot Air Hand Tool
The TRIAC AT offers the advantages of closed-loop temperature control, independent air flow control, and a digital display. Integrated blower means no external air supply needed. |
DIODE PID/S Hot Air Hand Tool
The DIODE S and DIODE PID are lighter in weight than the TRIAC. An external air or nitrogen supply is needed. |
WELDING PEN R/S Hot Air Hand Tool
Weighing in at just 450 grams, the WELDING PEN is ideal for production welding applications where small size and excellent performance is a must. An external air or nitrogen supply is needed. |
Learn to Weld Plastics at our One-Day Course
"The Course was great. Exactly what my staff and I needed to fast track our understanding of the Plastic Welding technology. I am much more comfortable with my knowledge of the process and realizing my colleague was a bit of a natural at it helps me know we will be successful. Thanks to Matt for his patience teaching us and to Anthony for arranging the course for us." -Brandon Jewitt, General Manager, On the Water Designs

Finding the Correct Welding Temperature for your Plastic Welding Project
Every plastic has a set of parameters (temperature, pressure, time/speed) at which it should be welded. However, the perfect temperature for the application can vary depending on environmental conditions. If you are welding in a less than ideal environment, the only way to find the perfect welding temperature for your project is trial and error. If welding is taking place outdoors be sure to perform test welds periodically throughout the day to ensure your temperature is set correctly, as the environment can change over time.
Tutorial: Evaluating your Plastic Welds
It’s important to evaluate each plastic weld to ensure your final product is strong and resilient. Particularly when speed welding with a hand tool, small defects in a single weld can be magnified as beads are built up to the base material’s thickness. Several key indicators allow you to evaluate your welds without the need for destructive tests.
Welding Parameters for Hand Welding Plastics
Recommended welding parameters for most common plastics, based on DVS 2207-3.
Plastics Identification Flow Chart
Knowing which type of plastic you're working with is a cornerstone of good plastic welding. By asking you to perform a few simple tests, such as a flame or burn test, the flow chart below will help you determine which type of plastic you have.
