VINYL COATING

VINYL COATING

THE "WORKHORSE" POWDER COATING

EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Whether you are looking for flexibility, color or chemical resistance, Vinyl powder coatings can help you meet your goals. Fluid Bed Vinyl coating can be applied to a variety of substrates, and its versatility and cost effectiveness are unmatched.

Diverse applications of vinyl coating include:
  • Corrosion protection
  • Chemical resistivity
  • Electrical insulation
  • Abrasion / impact resistance
  • Marine applications
Vinyl is typically seen on items such as
  • Dishwasher baskets
  • Bus bars
  • Patio furniture
  • Outdoor fencing
  • SCUBA gear
  • Bicycle racks
Below are some common properties of this workhorse coating material. 
DURAVIN Product Description: DURAVIN BDG-1V, General Purpose
Resistance Characteristics
Salt spray resistance of all properly applied and primed DURAVIN vinyls is excellent; a zinc or iron phosphated substrate, primed with the recommended DURAVIN primer, and coated with the above products will provide a durable finish showing no effect in 5,000 hours of salt spray exposure; less than 1/8″ undercutting will be observed on a scored panel exposed for 2,000 hours. Vinyl coatings, as a rule, exhibit excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalies, alcohols, gasolines and aliphatic hydrocarbons although concentration, temperature and the nature of the chemical does have a bearing on the degree of the coating’s inertness. Vinyls are not recommended for contract with aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents or ketones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VINYL COATING

Among coating options, vinyl coating is considered one of the best all-purpose coating materials. Versatile and budget-friendly, vinyl coatings are found in homes, businesses, industrial facilities, and everywhere in-between. Some frequently asked questions we receive about vinyl coatings are answered below.

  • Are vinyl coatings safe?

    Vinyl coatings need plasticizer components which allow them to achieve the flexibility they require. Traditionally, plasticizers often contained phthalates, which can be harmful to those exposed to them. Newer formulations of vinyl coatings can be phthalate-free, making them a safe choice.

  • What's the difference between vinyl, plastisol, and PVC?

    Vinyl powder coating and plastisol are two different but related types of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based coatings. Plastisol is a liquid at room temperature and typically applied in thicker coats by dipping, while vinyl powder coating is normally applied in thinner coats by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed. 

  • What are the most valuable characteristics of vinyl coatings?

    Vinyl coatings offer excellent benefits for the products and surfaces they cover (and their manufacturers), including:

    • Extreme durability
    • Excellent insulating capabilities
    • Superior resistance to chemical exposures
    • High performance in a wide range of temperatures
    • Powerful resistance to impacts and abrasions
    • Low cost for value

  • What does vinyl powder coating look like?

    Vinyl coatings have a shiny, glossy finish, and, like related plastisol coatings, can be tinted virtually any color. 

  • What are some common applications for vinyl coatings?

    Vinyl coatings are an excellent choice to protect wire goods and similar products, such as sports helmet facemasks, appliance racks and shelving, and industrial baskets. Playground equipment, outdoor furniture, and electrical components are also frequent candidates for vinyl coatings.
