When you need to preserve valuable parts and tooling from corrosion, impact, and wear, DipSeal stands out as a trusted name in strippable and protective plastic dip coatings. For over 70 years, DipSeal has specialized in delivering customized coating solutions that protect products across industries ranging from aerospace to agriculture.
But what exactly makes plastic dip coating so effective—and why do so many industries rely on DipSeal’s formulations?
What Is Plastic Dip Coating?
Plastic dip coating is the process of immersing a part into a liquid polymer—often PVC, rubber-based, or vinyl plastisol—which then forms a durable, protective, and often removable plastic layer as it cools or cures. This technique is widely used to enhance grip, provide electrical insulation, resist corrosion, and cushion against impact.
DipSeal’s Expertise in Plastic Dip Coating
DipSeal offers two primary types of coatings:
- Type A: A softer, rubber-like strippable coating ideal for delicate surfaces or components needing temporary protection.
- Type B: A tougher, more resilient coating suited for extended protection in industrial environments.
These coatings are not only effective but also reusable and economical, reducing damage during handling, shipping, or long-term storage.
Comparing Dip Coating Types: PVC vs. Rubber-Based
PVC-Based Dip Coating
- Advantages: Excellent abrasion resistance, moisture and chemical protection, UV stability.
- Ideal For: Racks, jigs, tools, automotive components.
- Industry Use: Aerospace, automotive, manufacturing.
Rubber-Based Dip Coating
- Advantages: Enhanced flexibility, grip, and impact absorption.
- Ideal For: Precision tools, electrical insulation, delicate parts.
- Industry Use: Electronics, defense, agriculture.
DipSeal’s coatings leverage these benefits, with precise engineering to fit the part’s geometry and performance requirements. Whether the need is temporary masking for painting or plating, or long-term rust prevention, DipSeal coatings adapt to diverse applications.
