Innovative Coatings, Inc. provides
Quality Protective Coatings & Custom Dip Moldings
When dip molding won’t work, let us apply a (PVC) Plastisol coating directly on to your product! We can take your product and design customized fixtures that will render a consistent, high quality dip coating to your exact specifications whether you have 1 part or 1 million. The cycle times and temperatures along with the thickness of the substrate will determine the coating thickness which can range from .010″ up to more than .250″ in some cases. Dip coatings offer additional advantages such as eliminating the need to deburr base materials as well as filling and covering imperfections commonly found with castings. Prior to dip coating your product we can apply a primer coat which will bond the (PVC) Plastisol to the surface creating a durable protective coating with adhesion.
All Innovative Coatings, Inc. coating compounds can be formulated to meet a variety of customer specifications and requirements such as….. Color matching, Finish (gloss, texture, foam), Durometer, Mil-Spec, Non-toxicity, UV stability, Medical and FDA approvable grades.

There are many advantages to a dip coating process, particularly for parts and products that have an unusual shape. This means that all the seams of crevices of an object are evenly coated to ensure that no area of the surface is compromised. The dip coating also serves as an excellent protective shield against electrical currents and extreme temperatures. Finally and most importantly, a quality dip coating makes a product much more durable in a wide range of conditions, leading to improved performance over time.
Plastisol PVC dip coating begins with the creation of custom fixtures designed to hold each part securely during immersion. Once prepared, the component is heated and submerged in liquid plastisol, where the material bonds and forms a consistent coating. A primer may be applied beforehand to improve adhesion and long term performance. After withdrawal, the coated part is cured to stabilize the material and achieve the specified finish. This method supports both low volume and high volume production without compromising coating uniformity.
Plastisol PVC compounds can be engineered to meet a wide range of requirements. Options include custom colors, gloss or textured finishes, foam structures, and multiple durometer levels. Formulations can also be developed to meet Mil Spec criteria, non toxic applications, UV stable environments, and medical or FDA approvable needs. These capabilities allow dip coated components to perform reliably in industrial, commercial, and specialty applications.
Plastisol PVC dip coating is used across industries for tool handles, wire forms, castings, switchgear components, laboratory glassware, medical instruments, automotive parts, fitness equipment, marine hardware, racks, and bus bars. The process is particularly effective for irregular shapes, ensuring complete coverage across edges, recesses, and complex geometries.
Dip coated surfaces provide electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and impact durability. The material helps conceal surface imperfections and eliminates the need for deburring in many cases. The resulting coating improves grip, reduces wear, and supports long term performance in environments exposed to vibration, moisture, or temperature variation.
Plastisol PVC dip coating is a process where heated parts are immersed in liquid plastisol to create a uniform, protective coating with controlled thickness and tailored material properties.
Dip coating is commonly used for tool handles, wire forms, castings, switchgear components, laboratory glassware, and other parts requiring protective or ergonomic surfaces.
Formulations can be adjusted for color, texture, durometer, UV stability, and regulatory requirements such as medical or FDA approvable grades.
Dip coating provides complete coverage on complex shapes, offers strong adhesion with primer, and delivers protective performance against abrasion, corrosion, and electrical exposure.
