Dipping Applications

 N/A Vinyl dip molding is used to create thin wall, hollow, pliable parts. Large and small parts can be created with dip molding. Here at North American Latex Corp., we specialize in creating vinyl dipped products for the medical industry such as:
  • Bulbs
  • Tubes
  • Stethoscopes
  • Caps
  • Small Bladders
Vinyl is also used for coating metals such as aluminum and stainless steel for industrial applications such as work tool handles and machinery control covers. Vinyl coated products are also used in sporting and health/fitness applications for exercise machinery and other fitness equipment safety coatings.

Thickness Limitations

 N/A Vinyl dip molded wall thicknesses and coating thickness can be a minimum of 0.030". Tight thickness tolerances can be held on all parts and coatings due to precise level of control within our production lines. By regulating dip speed and time as well as dry times, all vinyl dipped or coated parts meet our clients' expectations.

Benefits of Dipping Material

 N/A Vinyl, or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), is a hard thermoset polymer that will not inflate like latex or neoprene. Custom compounding can result in vinyls with various degrees of hardness and color. We currently manufacture and stock vinyl in:
  • Black
  • Navy Blue
  • Forest Green
  • Burgundy
  • Medium Blue
However, a large range of other colors are available. Various durometers and surface finishes can be achieved with vinyl. Please contact us for more details.

Coating Applications

 N/A Vinyl coating is used as a finishing operation for metal products which require protective coatings for abrasion purposes as well as electrical insulation and corrosion resistant applications. Vinyl coated work tool handles can provide ergonomic benefits while vinyl coating sharp product edges can protect against scratching and scraping.
