When Plastic-Coated Wire Baskets Should Be Used

When To Add Plastic Coating to Wire Baskets

Of course, any time your processes would benefit from the versatility and advantages offered by plastic coatings is a perfect time to use them. However, several specific instances are when we most frequently recommend such a coating. 

Additional Protection

Plastic coatings, particularly a softer, more rubbery coating like plastisol, can help prevent parts from being damaged or scratched by rubbing against the metal of wire baskets or against each other. Plastic coatings can also help absorb noise and vibrations to make your workplace safer for your products and your people.

Hazardous Exposures

Industrial processes frequently rely on chemicals and substances which can corrode, weaken, or otherwise make metal baskets susceptible to failure. Many plastic coatings are highly resistant to chemical exposure, maintaining the strength and integrity of your wire baskets. What's more, these plastic coatings can be reapplied as needed, protecting your investment. 

Safety Requirements

Plastic coating your wire baskets can add safety to your processes. Antimicrobial coatings can aid in meeting safety and regulatory requirements for sanitary production conditions. The ability of plastic coatings to be tinted in numerous shades offers the opportunity to color-code wire baskets for faster, easier identification of parts or stages in your processes.
