HOW DOES DIELECTRIC COATING WORK?

Because plastic is such an excellent insulator, it's a natural fit for our dielectric coating services. Dielectric coatings typically employ plastisol, epoxy, nylon, polyethylene, and polyester, though many formulations are suitable, and additives can enhance these and other properties of these versatile plastic coatings. 

Dielectric coatings naturally offer superior insulation against electrical conductivity, but also provide the added protective and functional benefits that come with specific plastic formulations. These can include:
  • Electrical insulation
  • Moisture, salt water, and chemical resistance
  • Rust and oxidation protection
  • Reducing friction
  • Abrasion and impact resistance
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Surfaces that are more hygienic and easier to clean and maintain
  • Improved appearance
  • Protection against ultraviolet light
  • Resistance to all kinds of weather
  • Adding comfort and improving grip
  • Noise and vibration reduction
  • Customizability to match desired colors and finishes

Any industry or component that relies on keeping electrical current from coming into contact with other parts, people, and other unwanted exposure to current will benefit from selecting our dielectric coatings. Some of the many applications for these coatings include:
  • The electrical industry in which they play a central role
  • Parts and components for the medical industry where patients and medical staff benefit from the protection
  • Tool handles where dielectric coatings protect their users and the equipment they work on
  • Critical, high-stress applications in the military and aerospace and aviation industries
  • Numerous industrial uses for equipment, tools, and products rely on the protection of dielectric coatings
  • Parts and equipment for the automotive industry, protecting assemblers, mechanics, and drivers
  • Safety equipment, to enable it to offer better protection

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DIELECTRIC COATINGS

Dielectric coatings, as their name suggests, are those which offer a barrier against electrical current—in other words, insulation. Applications for dielectric coatings span most industries, offering their insulating qualities and other benefits for countless uses. Here are answers to a few of the questions we often receive about our dielectric coatings.

  • Why are dielectric coatings helpful?

    Most importantly, dielectric coatings limit the flow of electricity, protecting people and equipment from coming into contact with the current. In addition to this vital protection, these coatings also offer:

  • What industries use dielectric coatings?

    While dielectric coatings are most commonly used in the electrical industry, they are useful for any application in which limiting contact with electrical current, internally or externally, is needed. 

  • How do dielectric coatings work?

    Dielectric plastic coatings work as insulators because their molecular structure doesn't have free electrons that metal and other good conductors have available to shift from atom to atom, which is, fundamentally, how electricity works. 

  • What are common uses for dielectric coatings?

    In addition to the electrical industry, typical applications for dielectric coatings include those where protection from electrical current is particularly vital for reliability and safety, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial components. 

  • What plastics are used for dielectric coatings?

    Virtually all plastic coatings used in standard electrostatic spray and fluidized bed powder coating are excellent dielectric coatings, including epoxy, nylon, polyester, and polyethylene. Plastisol dip coating is especially effective for tools and electrical components, including high-voltage uses.
