Hi all, The welding process was discussed before but i am unsure about plastic to buy. I was to buy PVC sheets and weld, is common and suitable but expensive. I even made myself speed welding nozzles. I always thought PE or PP was more expensive than PVC but actually they are less than half the price by square meter, being PE the cheaper. But i never had either those sheets side by side to test their hardness. PE is most suitable to chemicals, lighter and stronger than PVC it only as a lower melting temperature but is way superior than the maximum needed temperature. The problem is where i am to buy it, they only stock PVC and PP weld. PE weld needs to be paid and wait for deliver which i find silly, and the minimum order is 5 times more than i need... I am to buy 5mm HDPE sheets they are a good deal, but PP is almost the same price and easier to get the weld. Any advice? BTW anyone in Europe with excess or need of PE weld? Sim�o
