EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS
USA
Shrinking
• Shrinking of shrink tubes for a variety of wiring insulation, sealing, strain relief and
mechanical protection
• Shrinking on packing and postal packets
• Shrink-rapping of electrical components such as condensers, batteries and connec-
tors
Soldering
• Soldering with tin solder (60% Sn, 40% Pb) and special silver solder
• Desolder from SMD components
• Soldering together of cable shoes
• Unsoldering of soldered joints
Welding
• Of thermoplastic parts in HD-PE, PP, PPEPDM, ABS, PC, PVC-U. With welding rods it
is possible to repair vehicle parts, ski surfaces, surfboards, plastic boats
• PVC and linolium floor can be repaired with welding rod
• Overlap welding of foils for biotops and swimming-pools
Forming
• Forming Acrylic, PVC and polystyrene articles
• Forming of pipes, sheets and profiles
• Forming wet wood (putting into shape and then drying with hot air)
Drying
• Drying color samples, applied fillers, adhesives and polyester putties
• Drying formed parts
• Drying building joints before spraying insulation or sealant
Paint stripping
• Stripping of all oil and lacquer, even in thick layers, from furniture and panelling, gut-
tering, banisters and windows. Heat the layer of paint until blisters form, then remove
cleanly with a paint knife, paint scraper or wire brush. For windows use glass-protec-
ting adapters
• Remove plastic-plaster with hot air and spatula
Thawing
• Thawing iced-up steps, car locks, boot-lids and doors, and water-pipes
• De-frosting refrigerators and deep-freezes (do not heat the plastic walls, as this could
lead to deformation or damage)
Adhesives
• Gluing large surfaces with contact adhesive by warming and lengthening setting time
• Activation of adhesives
• Acceleration of gluing processes by shortening the setting time of 2-component
adhesives.
• Loosing screwed connections which are adhesive-fastened, PVC stickers, e.g. on
commercial and private vehicles
• Fastening or removing of edge-bandings
Disinfecting
• With hot air at 1020 ºF rabbit hutches, dovecotes etc. are rapidly freed of bacteria and
insect pests
• Destruction of woodworm. Do not overheat the surface of the wood (fire danger!)
