Versatile, durable, and functional, plastic coatings offer a variety of advantages to any industrial environment. Workers, equipment, and the bottom line can all benefit from plastic industrial coatings. They can:

1. Increase longevity of parts, components, and equipment

Different formulations of plastic coatings and additives can increase the longevity of equipment, parts, and components across countless industries. Forming a protective barrier, they can help prevent corrosion, oxidation, weathering, and damage due to their chemical, corrosion, UV, abrasion, and impact resistance as well as their strength and durability.

2. Add safety

With the resistance and durability benefits of plastic-coated and molded safety equipment and PPE, industrial workers are better protected from hazardous materials and dangerous equipment. Better graspability afforded by coatings such as plastisol can also enhance safety with moving parts and controls. 

3. Reduce vibration and noise

Industrial noise levels are a frequent problem. Plastic coatings such as plastisol, can offer some relief with vibration and noise reduction, creating a safer, more pleasant and productive work environment. 

4. Reduce friction

Many industrial processes can run more smoothly when friction is reduced in processing and handling equipment with coatings such as Halar. Less friction means less abrasion and wear, so equipment and parts such as bearings, cams, and valve seats can run safely and efficiently for a longer time.

5. Offer dielectric insulation

Insulation protection against contact between parts and with people can be achieved with plastic coatings such as epoxy powder and plastisol. Tools and equipment can also be coated to minimize the risk of contact with electricity.

The added protection and value added by industrial plastic coatings are highly cost effective compared to the expense of replacing equipment and components that are worn or damaged before their time. Increasing worker safety is always a worthwhile investment, too. Contact us today to see how our plastic coating, molding, and manufacturing solutions and value added services can improve your industrial setting.
