At Kettle Moraine Coatings, Inc., we provide hot dip plastisol coating of multiple sizes and types of products. Plastisol is a versatile thermoplastic coating with very desirable insulating and protective properties. In addition, plastisol provides an ergonomic gripping surface for tools, fittings, and equipment handles.

The nominal thickness range of a hot dip plastisol coating is approximately 30-60 mils. This is thick enough to cover small burrs in metal parts and provide adequate cushioning for hooks, clamps, and other material handling equipment. It is unlikely we can coat to a thickness under 25 mils. On the other hand thickness as high as 90-125 mils can be obtained with the right part to coat.

A multitude of colors are available to choose from and we can provide various finishes: smooth, textured, glossy or matte, and foam. If a color or effect we do not stock is desired there may be a charge to cover the material needed to fill a tank.

Prior to dipping, parts are cleaned if necessary. To obtain good adhesion a primer normally needs to be applied. Once racked the parts are preheated and then dipped in the liquid plastisol to the depth desired. The heat of the parts causes the liquid to solidify into the coating. After this the parts are post-heated to complete the hardening or fusing process.
