RF Technology Capable of Heat Sealing Phthalate-Free Plastics

ecoGenesis is a proprietary plastics welding technology that enables – for the first time – the RF heat sealing of polyethylene, polypropylene and nearly any low-loss polymer or phthalate-free material. This technology is ideal for manufacturers needing to transition away from PVC or polyurethane for ecological, financial or regulatory reasons.

In addition to being eco-friendly, this RF sealing process provides many opportunities for cost savings. Specifically, ecoGenesis allows you to:

• Lower manufacturing costs: ecoGenesis eliminates the need for expensive heat seal additives, accelerates the production process, reduces weld cycle time and enables the substitution of lower cost raw materials. The technology is adaptable to existing, stabilized RF machines (27.12 Mhz), thus expanding the use and life-cycle of most RF sealing equipment.

• Increase product performance: A stationary catalyst lasts for thousands of welds without need for replacement. ecoGenesis forms the most durable, dependable and attractive seals – even in intricately shaped patterns.

• Add capabilities and products: Of any RF welding technology available today, ecoGenesis offers the greatest versatility in the selection of plastics materials and will heat seal even non-polar plastics in layers of film, foam or fabric – in any combination.

• Meet regulatory standards and environmental concerns: Many U.S. companies, and military and state agencies are increasingly requiring products be made from plasticizer-free, biologically inert materials that replace the need for PVC.
