From chemical storage tanks and ductwork to fume cupboards and pipe installations, Plastics Welding underpins a wide variety of critical industrial applications. At TWI South East Asia, our Hot Gas and Extrusion Welding training programmes provide hands-on, practical learning that equips professionals with the skills required across multiple industries.
A Practical Foundation for Industry Needs
Our courses focus on the manual welding of thermoplastics such as PVC, PP, PE, and PVDF, which are widely used in areas including chemical processing, waste treatment, and air management systems. The techniques taught—whether for tank repairs, duct manufacturing, or maintaining fume cupboards—are directly aligned with everyday workplace requirements.
Participants learn to perform hot gas welding for smaller, more detailed joints, and extrusion welding for thicker, large-scale sections. These skills are vital for producing assemblies that are durable, reliable, and resistant to harsh environments.
Designed for All Levels
TWI South East Asia’s training is suited for:
- Newcomers aiming to start a career in plastics welding
- Experienced workers maintaining or repairing plastic-based systems
- Individuals preparing for CSWIP Plastics Welder certification under EN 13067 (British and European Standard)
Through a balance of practical workshops and theoretical knowledge, learners gain the ability to deliver high-quality welds, identify defects, and understand inspection processes, all with strong emphasis on safety, procedures, and quality standards.
What the Course Covers
The programme includes:
- Equipment setup and correct nozzle application (including PTFE nozzle shaping for extrusion)
- Joint preparation and prevention of defects
- Practical workshops in Hot Gas Speed, Hot Gas Hand, and Extrusion Welding
- Health, safety, and site practices
- Visual inspection, NDT methods, and mechanical testing of welds
- Standards relevant to plastics welding and fabrication
- Identification and processing of different plastic materials
- Introduction to CSWIP Plastics Welder certification (EN 13067)
From constructing ventilation systems to repairing tanks or maintaining safety-critical infrastructure, the training delivered by TWI South East Asia ensures participants develop skills that keep industries moving.
Certification in Plastics Welding
Training can lead to internationally recognised certification, benefiting both individuals and employers. With the increasing reliance on thermoplastics in construction and repair, there is strong demand for competent welders and inspectors to ensure work quality.
Certification is provided in line with BS EN 13067 through the globally recognised CSWIP Scheme (CSWIP-PW-6-96), ensuring compliance with the highest international standards.
