Take the Field Safely With Plastic Coating

Colorful, protective, and durable, plastic coatings are a natural match for sporting goods. These coatings are typically applied by dipping or by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed methods, providing a long-lasting layer of protection. 

What Sports Equipment Is Best Suited to Plastic Coating

Nearly any sports equipment can benefit from a plastic coating, adding valuable protection, durability, and many more benefits. Commonly coated equipment includes:


  • Gym equipment
  • Fishing gear
  • Playground equipment
  • Golf equipment
  • Facemasks for football, hockey, lacrosse, and other sports

How Do Plastic Coatings Enhance Sports Safety?

Plastic coatings improve how equipment performs and how people use it, protecting them in two ways at once. Among the benefits of plastic coatings are:

Safer, Better Grip

Handles can be dangerously slippery when sweaty or playing in the rain. Plastisol coating has a characteristic texture that makes it easy to hold on to wet handles. More control means more safety.

Impact and Vibration Reduction

The natural rubbery nature of plastisol makes it an excellent coating to reduce the power of impacts and to dampen vibrations, improving player comfort and safety.

Improved Hygiene

Many plastic coatings have natural antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities, helping to keep germs at bay.

Smooth, Safer Surface

Whether applied on playground equipment as a non-skid surface or a smooth coating that protects against rough or sharp edges on sporting goods, plastic coatings can make playing sports safer.

Hazard Protection

As insulators from many hazards such as heat and cold, plastic coatings can protect players from coming into contact with environmental risks during challenging weather conditions.

Identification

Many plastic coatings are easily colored, making them a perfect choice for color coding to easily identify sizes and weights, or to display team colors.
