Why choose Precision Dip Coating?
Dip coating provides a very stable decorative and
protective coating at a very competitive per piece
price. Tool handles and wire racks are among the
items that should be dip coated. Dip coating can also be used
to create soft plastic parts that stand on their own.
Protective caps and hand grips are best produced by dip molding.
Precision Dip Coating provides innovative solutions to
your coating needs. We bring a proven track record of price
competitive, on-time performance to your specifications.
Dip Coating Methods
- Hot dip coating is the process in which an object
is heated, dipped in plastisol and then placed in a heated chamber
where fusion takes place.
- Hot Dip molding is used where the interior
geometry is more important the exterior – like in conformal caps and
grips. Tooling costs for a dip mold can be less than 10% of injection
mold tooling while comparing favorably in production and material costs
- Fluid Bed Powder Coating involves dipping
preheated parts into fine nylon or vinyl powder suspended in an air
chamber. This is the process when a uniform, drip-less coating is
required.
- Cast molding involves dispensing plastisol into a
mold, placing it in an oven and then heating it so the plastisol fuses
into the finished part. This process is capable of producing
multi-colored parts.
- Rotational molding is a method that involves
placing a limited amount of plastisol in a mold and then rotating it as
heating takes place so the liquid is equally distributed. This is used
to create hollow products.
- Cold dip coating is used mostly for thin coatings
of plastisol. In this process, the object is dipped in plastisol
without preheating, and then placed in a heated chamber.
