Polyvance's Nitrogen Plastic Welders vs the Competition.

Updated: December 2019

• 
  We were the first in the market with a nitrogen plastic welder. We introduced the technology to the industry in 2006. The current 8000-series models are our sixth-generation welders, incorporating all of the features and benefits of its predecessors along the way, as well as the improvements along the way.
• Our welders have user-adjustable flow control whereas some of the competing units have fixed flow. They present this as a benefit, assuming that most technicians don't understand the benefit of flow control. However, ours gives the technician control in case they are welding something unusually thin (like bumper tabs) or thick (like heavy truck panels).
• Polyvance offers by far the most complete selection of plastic welding rod in the world. Our welders come with five different profiles of polypropylene in natural (white). We also offer a full selection of other plastics in both round rod and ribbon format (LDPE, HDPE, TPO, PC, and ABS). We also carry labeled welding rod organizer cases so you can keep your welding rods under control and out of the dust in the shop.
• Our 8000-series welders feature a removeable hose and wiring assembly, making replacement of a damaged hose or handle simple and quick, minimizing downtime and keeping your technicians productive.
• We know plastic better than anyone because it's all we do, and all we've done since 1981. We have several technical sales reps that cover the US doing hands-on training for our customers.
• Polyvance has the industry's only I-CAR Industry Training Alliance approved training on nitrogen plastic welding in the industry. We have several class options that show our customers how to use and benefit from the product.
• We are the only company in the industry to put ourselves in the shoes of our customers. We run our own bumper recycling operation, Encore Bumpers, behind our factory and serve local body shop customers. This helps us develop new products that will benefit our customers.
• Plastic welding is a sideline for our competitors. Their plastic welders are "me too" items. It's all we do. We know it the best.
• We offer by far the best technical support and customer service. Call our competitors and try to get someone on the phone that can answer a technical question on plastic repair in less than 15 seconds. Then try it with us.
• Our library of technical training videos> is by far the most extensive in the industry, with all videos being available on our Polyvance smartphone app (Apple & Android).
