6 Reasons Why Polyolefin Dip Coating Is Important

March 10, 2024

Polyolefins are a class of plastics or polymers based on the organic compound olefin, and include such popular plastics as polypropylene and polyethylene. As a coating material, and with the hybrid formulation we use at Precision Dip Coating, polyolefin is available in a variety of colors, and is most commonly used for outdoor applications such as bike racks, playground equipment, and fencing. Read on to find out some of the many great reasons to choose polyolefin coatings.

Chemical & Corrosion Resistance

With excellent resistance to many chemicals as well as to salt and seawater, polyolefin coatings offer excellent protection for metals in many outdoor environments.

UV Resistance

While many coatings can discolor or become brittle in sunlight, polyolefin maintains its finish and offers some of the best UV resistance among plastic coatings.

Environmentally Friendly

Our polyolefin coating contains no bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, heavy metals, or similar toxic chemicals. In addition, it can be applied without a primer, eliminating volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from the coating process.

Temperature Tolerant

Able to maintain its high performance level even in very low and high temperatures, our polyolefin coating is durable enough for any environmental exposure, including marine applications.

Abrasion & Impact Resistance

Often used for coating fencing, lamp posts, bridges, and other structures, our polyolefin coating stands up to impacts, blowing sand, and other hazards without chipping, flaking, or cracking.

Easy To Maintain

Our polyolefin formulation is particularly easy to maintain, easily resisting mold, mildew, algae, fungus, and other damaging and unsightly growths. In addition, it enables easy removal of graffiti and adhesives from coated surfaces.
