Why are dielectric coatings helpful?

Most importantly, dielectric coatings limit the flow of electricity, protecting people and equipment from coming into contact with the current. In addition to this vital protection, these coatings also offer: A barrier against moisture, chemicals, dust, weather, and other hazards and contaminants Safer, more comfortable tools and handles Attractive appearance with opportunities for color coding or brand color identification All of the additional functional and performance benefits each coating possesses

What industries use dielectric coatings?

While dielectric coatings are most commonly used in the electrical industry, they are useful for any application in which limiting contact with electrical current, internally or externally, is needed.

How do dielectric coatings work?

Dielectric plastic coatings work as insulators because their molecular structure doesn't have free electrons that metal and other good conductors have available to shift from atom to atom, which is, fundamentally, how electricity works.

What are common uses for dielectric coatings?

In addition to the electrical industry, typical applications for dielectric coatings include those where protection from electrical current is particularly vital for reliability and safety, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial components.

What plastics are used for dielectric coatings?

Virtually all plastic coatings used in standard electrostatic spray and fluidized bed powder coating are excellent dielectric coatings, including epoxy, nylon, polyester, and polyethylene. Plastisol dip coating is especially effective for tools and electrical components, including high-voltage uses.

Electrostatic Painting & Spray Coating Have You Covered

February 28, 2025

Bare metal is vulnerable to oxidation, rust, corrosion, and other damage, and it often doesn't have the appealing look you might want for your product. A coat of paint is a standard solution for protection and improved appearances, but it may not adhere well to the surface below, and may not last very long. Electrostatic spray coating is an ideal solution for a durable, protective coating in colors that suit your needs.

Powder Coating and Small Details

February 28, 2025

Whether it's serial numbers, part identifiers, warning messages, assembly indicators, a company logo, or some other small detail, you probably don't want powder coating to hide it. Choosing a company with extensive powder coating experience can ensure a coating formulation and application that keep these important parts of your product easily visible while providing the protection and appearance you want.

How Can Powder Coating Be Eco-Friendly?

February 28, 2025

Many people hear the words "plastic" or "spray painting" and expect them to be problems for the environment. While that may have been true for some approaches of the past, the powder coating techniques and recent innovations in plastic formulations can mean coating solutions that are far more environmentally friendly and sustainable than traditional methods and materials.
