How to Repair Cross-Linked Polyethylene

Although cross-linked polyethylene is not very common, it is sometimes used for fuel tanks, kayaks, canoes, and older ATV parts. It is an extremely durable plastic, and unfortunately, it is not easily repaired. Cross-linked polyethylene is a thermoset plastic, which means it is not meltable. The plastic identification symbols for cross-linked polyethylene are XPE, XLPE, PE-Xb, and PEX. If there is no identification symbol, the best way to determine if the polyethylene is cross-linked or thermoplastic is to try to melt it. Thermoplastic polyethylene will melt easily, but cross-linked polyethylene will not melt; it may turn brown or become soft and flexible, but it will not melt. Because cross-linked polyethylene is not meltable, we cannot use the nitrogen plastic welder or airless plastic welder to create a FUSION weld. Instead, we will use Polyvance's KCWPRO airless plastic welder and low density polyethylene welding rod to make a BONDED repair to a puncture, a crack, and a hole in this cross-linked polyethylene fuel tank. High density polyethylene welding rod can be used for this repair, but we recommend using low density polyethylene welding rod because it is easier to work with.
