Bonding of support brackets to polyethylene cheese moulds

Bonding of support brackets to polyethylene cheese moulds. The support brackets are factory welded, but break out in daily use and have to be fixed again. An NSF certificate is not required, there is no contact to the finished cheese.

Material combination: PE / PE.

Bonding gap: approx. 0.25 mm

Pre-treatment: WEICON Surface Cleaner

Solution: WEICON Easy-Mix PE-PP 45

Load/stresses after bonding: Temperature approx. 60°C; contact to whey

Previously solved with: Complex welding process

The advantage of the current solution is that WEICON Easy-Mix PE-PP 45 saves an enormous amount of time and money.
