What is the dip coating process?
Dip coating defines any process where a part is dipped into a polymer for applying a coating directly on the product. This process is used to provide cushioned grips for objects such as hand tools and to provide protective or decorative coatings on parts. The process begins with the parts situated on a handling rack. The rack can be dipped in a primer solution to aid in the adherence of the coating and then preheated. The parts are then dipped into the plastisol material for a specified time. The newly coated parts are then cured, dip-quenched and removed from the holding frame.
