Dip Coating and Immersion Coating

 

 

Dip coating or immersion coating makes plastisol a functional part of the dipped object. Hot dip coating, the most common variety, heats the object and then immerses it in plastisol. The plastisol gels on the heated object, but final fusion takes place in a heated chamber. Cold dipping, used primarily for thin plastisol coatings, does not require pre-heating before dipping; however, fusion still takes place in a heated chamber. The plastisol viscosity and other factors determine the thickness of the cold dip coating.
