Industrial Plastic Welding

Welded HDPE & poly,
built for hard service.

Tanks, containment, liners, and custom weldments — fabricated and welded in our Sparks shop for mines, mills, and manufacturers across Northern Nevada. Corrosion doesn't touch it. Neither does out-of-state lead time.

Plastic Welding
Who It's For
01

Built in our shop.
Installed in your plant.

We fabricate welded plastic components in Sparks and deliver them ready to install. Your crew or your contractor sets them — we make sure what shows up fits, holds, and lasts.

01
Mine Maintenance & Mill Ops
Process tanks, containment, launders, and liner components in chemical-resistant HDPE and polypropylene — fabricated locally instead of freighted in from out of state with the lead time to match.
02
Industrial & Mining Contractors
Bidding scope that includes plastic weldments? Send the drawings. We fabricate to spec, you install — one local supplier who answers the phone and hits your schedule.
03
Manufacturers
Plants across Sparks, TRIC, and the I-80 corridor use welded poly for process tanks, drip and spill containment, ventilation components, and equipment guards that steel and coatings can't survive.
What We Build
02

Welded, not bolted.
Sealed, not coated.

A proper thermoplastic weld is as strong as the parent material — no fasteners to corrode, no coatings to fail, no gaskets to chase. Here's what leaves our shop.

Why welded plastic wins
where steel gives up.

Process chemistry eats steel and delaminates coatings. Thermoplastics don't corrode — and a welded joint is monolithic with the material around it.

01
HDPE
The industrial workhorse: broad chemical resistance, high impact strength, and abrasion performance that shrugs off slurry and wear. The default for tanks, containment, and liners. We stock it in sheet.
02
Polypropylene
Higher temperature tolerance and excellent resistance to acids and caustics — the pick for process tanks, plating and chemical-handling equipment, and hot wash-down service. We stock it in sheet, including a UL 94 V-0 flame retardant grade.
03
The Right Call
Tell us the chemistry, temperature, and duty cycle and we'll spec the material honestly — including telling you when plastic is the wrong answer. That candor is why maintenance planners keep our number.
How It Works
04

From drawing
to loading dock.

Formal drawings are great. A sketch with dimensions and the chemistry works too.

01
Send the Spec
PDF and DXF drawings (STEP welcome) — or dimensions, material, and what the part has to survive. Email it or call (775) 358-8211.
02
Get a Straight Quote
Price, material recommendation, and lead time. If something in the drawing won't weld well or won't last in service, we tell you before we build it.
03
We Cut, Form & Weld
Fabricated in our Sparks shop — sheet stock from our own warehouse, cutting and routing in our own shop, seams welded and inspected before anything ships.
04
Pick Up or Delivery
Grab it at the dock, or we'll arrange delivery — free in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fernley and USA Parkway, and coordinated freight for sites beyond.
FAQ
05

Common questions.

Do you do on-site welding at our facility or mine site?

No — and we'd rather tell you that up front. Our plastic welding is shop fabrication: we build tanks, containment, liners, and weldments in our Sparks facility and deliver them ready for your crew or contractor to install. What that model gives you is controlled conditions, inspected seams, and predictable schedules.

What materials can you weld?

Our core welding materials are HDPE and polypropylene — the two thermoplastics that dominate mining and industrial chemical service. Both are stocked as sheet in our own warehouse, which means fabrication starts when you order, not when a distributor ships.

How strong is a welded plastic joint?

A properly executed thermoplastic weld fuses the parts into continuous material — performance approaching the parent sheet itself, with no fasteners to corrode, no adhesive to age, and no gasket to maintain. It's why welded HDPE tanks and containment outlast bolted or coated-steel alternatives in corrosive service.

Can you work from our engineering drawings?

Yes — a PDF drawing and a DXF are what we work from, and supplying them up front gets you the fastest, most accurate quote. Don't have formal drawings? A dimensioned sketch plus the service conditions (chemistry, temperature, duty) is enough for us to draw it up and confirm before fabrication.

Why buy welded plastic locally instead of from a national fabricator?

Freight and lead time. Large welded components are expensive to ship and slow to arrive, and revision rounds with a distant fabricator burn weeks. We're on the I-80 corridor — you can approve a proof, check a fit-up, or pick up a finished tank the same day you'd still be waiting on a returned phone call from out of state.

    Plastic Welding in Reno & Sparks, NV

    Silver State Plastics fabricates welded HDPE and polypropylene components — process tanks, secondary containment, launders, liners, and custom weldments — at our Sparks, NV shop. Sheet stock comes from our own materials warehouse, and cutting, CNC machining, forming, and welding happen in our own shop, so a complex weldment is not bouncing between vendors.

    Serving Nevada Mining & Industry

    We build for the operations that keep Northern Nevada running — mines and mills, the contractors who serve them, and manufacturers across the I-80 industrial corridor from Sparks and TRIC to Fernley and beyond. Welded thermoplastic outlasts coated steel in corrosive and high-wear service, and buying it locally cuts the freight and lead time out of every project. Visit us at 745 E. Greg St. #6, Sparks, NV 89431, or call (775) 358-8211 for a same-day quote.
