Polyvance Releases Compression Roller to Smooth and Compress Welds

Jan. 24, 2024
The 6144 Compression Roller reduces the finishing time and enhances the strength of plastic welds by smoothing and compressing the joint between the plastic filler rod and the base material.
Polyvance has introduced its new product, the 6144 Compression Roller, which the company says reduces the finishing time and enhances the strength of plastic welds by smoothing and compressing the joint between the plastic filler rod and the base material.

The Compression Roller can also be utilized to improve the appearance of back-side welds and accelerate the process of embedding reinforcing mesh into a repair.

The tool is equipped with a polished stainless-steel roller and smooth sealed cartridge bearings, an ergonomic handle, and a high-strength plated steel frame.

The Compression Roller not only makes the strength of welds more consistent but also enhances the flexibility of some fiber-reinforced plastics after welding. The roller acts as a heat sink to cool plastic welds more quickly.

The suggested retail price is $34.95. The 6144 Compression Roller is available directly from Polyvance or through automotive paint and body distributors. For more information, visit www.polyvance.com or call 800-633-3047.
