Plastisol is a plasticising liquid coating that is similar to PVC. Plastisol is a liquid at ambient temperature but hardens into a rubbery barrier when heated or cured.
Plastisol coating, once applied, is almost durable, making it suitable for a wide variety of high-impact uses.
Dip-Moulded Plastics And Plastic Coatings: An Overview
Plastic coating, also known as dip coating or immersion coating, is the process of applying plastic or polymer liquid to the surface of a workpiece. A thick PVC dip coating is produced for defence and aesthetics. This makes it less likely that scratches, wear, corrosion, or the environment will damage the material. It increases the metal's resilience and extends its useful life. Users benefit from plastic coatings because they provide insulation and a more secure grip on the product.
Hand tools, handles, and grips often have a plastic covering. One common kind of plastic-coated hand instrument is pliers. With the plastic covering on the handle, compressing or bending a stiff material is easier on the user, and the hand tool lasts longer. Its stiffness is helpful in a variety of other contexts, including shopping carts, baskets, forceps, covers, caps, plugs, and many more.
The difference between dip molding and dip coating is the extra step of demolding or unloading at the end of the former process. Single-walled, hollow, and double-walled items may all be made using dip molding. This eliminates the need for further operations like cutting and deflating. The procedure conserves resources since it requires fewer subtractive secondary processes. Latex gloves, costume jewelry, cups, plastic lids, and sports and entertainment equipment components are just some of the plastic goods that are dip molded.
Is The Complete Product Sprayed With Plastisol?
Plastisol coatings may be applied in an infinite variety of ways. Typically, Plastisol coats the whole product, making it almost unbreakable. When consumers request that a particular product area be coated with Plastisol, that area is dipped until the required coating thickness is reached, and then the product is cured.
