The Protective Qualities of Nylon Coating

One of the main purposes of applying plastic coatings is to offer protection for what's under the coating. Environmental, chemical, and other exposures, wear and tear, friction, and many other hazards pose risks that can be mitigated with a plastic coating. One of the more versatile coatings you can choose is nylon, which can be applied by spraying or with a fluidized bed technique.

Strong and resistant, nylon offers a variety of protective qualities for your coated parts and products, including:

Nylon is highly resistant to water, numerous solvents, chemicals, and other substances, protecting the metal underneath from rusting, oxidation, and other damaging exposures which can weaken and compromise substrates. 

While some plastic coatings can deteriorate with sun exposure, nylon maintains its excellent performance even when subject to prolonged UV light.

Extremely smooth and strong, with superior impact resistance, nylon can help protect the metal it coats from being damaged when parts connect, as part of a mechanical process, through regular use, or by accident. Nylon's ability to minimize friction between coated parts can protect them from wear and tear when rubbing or sliding against each other.

Because nylon coatings can add a thicker layer of protection than some other plastic coatings, it can help to limit vibration and noise pollution. 

Nylon can produce a hygienic, easy-to-clean coating suitable for medical equipment and devices, contact with drinking water, and other sensitive uses.

Nylon performs well in a variety of conditions, including at low temperatures, offering excellent protection in harsh conditions. It can endure deformity and return to its previous shape more rapidly and effectively than many other plastic coatings.
