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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
