Plastics Welding in Canada
When metal is too heavy, too conductive, or not chemically inert, machined plastics take over, and Canada has both a deep plastics industry and the petrochemical feedstock behind it. In Canada structural welding answers to one standard, CSA W47.1, certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau, so specifying it is shorthand for an audited, third-party-verified process.
The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle welding in plastics.
