The Vickersil^® MW coating is applied on the plates used for polymers mirror welding. It may be applied on steel, copper or bronze plates.

The Vickersil® MW coating

• allows a reduction of the mirror welding temperature,
• avoids threads,
• allows a reduction of the welding cycles,
• makes the cleaning of the mirrors easier,
• the force or contact pressure of the polymer on the mirror may be reduced,
• the mechanical properties of the welding link (tensile) are improved. 

The coated mirrors have an improved abrasion resistance.

The following polymers may be welded with coated Vickersil ® MW parts:

• Crastin
• Hytrel
• Zytel
• PE
• HDPE
• PP
• PA6.6
• Glass Fiber filled compounds, etc…

Example: Mirror welding of tubes
