    Hi everyone, hope this finds you well.

    I had a question posted to me recently about the possibility of Radio Frequency welding polypropylene.

    I have had a look around and the answer's typically no, but in some cases yes.

    Im wondering if in a case of 0.6-0.8 mm TF parts. Would any of you have any experience and could give me some advice, if it would work.

    Or should I suggest them to only use Ultrasonic welding? 

    For your reference this is for replacement of PVC blister clamshell packaging as its being banned in some regions.

    Thanks!
