Process that consists of applying a coating to a part by simple dipping
in a bath. For example, this method is used to coat tools with Plastisol
or to produce gloves. Metal parts are preheated, dipped, and then post
heated. During the dip, heat in the parts gels the surrounding material.
The hotter the parts and the longer the dip, the thicker the gelled
coating. During the "cure", the plastisol fuses. Naturally, temperatures
and dipping profiles are critical in determining the amount of plastisol
buildup on the part. Prior to plastic coating the object to be coated
can be "primed". The primer will make the coating adhere to the part. |
