When it comes to automotive design, driver satisfaction depends on more than horsepower and sleek styling—minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) is essential to delivering a smooth, quiet, and high-quality ride. One of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to reduce NVH is through vibration and resonance damping coatings.

Halar, a brand name of ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), is an exceptionally smooth, extremely pure, very durable, crystal fluoropolymer coating similar to PTFE (Teflon). Industries and applications which take advantage of Halar's powerful capabilities include precision electronics, high-pressure mining, piping, hazardous chemical processing, ductwork, and pharmaceutical and medical industries. Recent innovations in working with Halar coatings offer techniques for coating some plastic substrates and environmentally-friendly waterborne applications.

Coming into contact with electricity can be anything from uncomfortable to deadly, so any options for improved safety are a smart bet. Naturally insulating, most plastics create a highly-effective barrier against contact with electric current as one of their many benefits. Plastic coating is one of the most budget-friendly ways to achieve excellent protection from electrical contact, and is so effective that it's commonly used for even high-voltage applications.

Safe, durable, long-lasting, and heat-tolerant are just a few of the characteristics that make nylon powder coating an ideal choice for sterilization coating. Suitable for use from the operating room to the robotics lab, sterilization coatings offer the security and longevity required in these demanding environments.

Colorful, protective, and durable, plastic coatings are a natural match for sporting goods. These coatings are typically applied by dipping or by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed methods, providing a long-lasting layer of protection.

Summer is here, and that means your outdoor plastic-coated and powder-coated products need to withstand prolonged hot temperatures, extensive UV exposure, and often increased wear and tear. Protective coatings are not all created equal, so choosing an appropriate coating formulation can make all the difference.

Dip coating is a traditional plastic coating technique where a protective layer of liquid plastic, usually vinyl-based plastisol, is applied to a part or product. With applications across nearly every industry, cost-effective plastisol brings an array of benefits to countless projects.

If you use electricity, you're taking advantage of the important job bus bars play in transmitting it throughout generation and distribution systems. From cell phones to generating stations and everywhere in between, bus bars help electricity to travel safely to where it's needed.
