We manufacture a variety of insulation caps and other products that are formed in a dipping process using a soft PVC plastic compound that we have developed ourselves.

  • This data should only be used as a guide for general applications.
  • Incombustible dip material SS107UF (UL94V-0) is also available.
  • No substances classified as ozone layer depleting substances (Classes I and II)
     under Article 611 of the U.S. Clean Air Act are used as the dip materials, or used
     in the manufacturing process or in the packaging of dip-molded products.
The manufacture of dip-molded products
1 The metal mold (male mold) is heated in a heater.
2 The heated metal mold is dipped in plastisol (paste), which clings to the mold surface.
3 The coated mold is again heated to gel the coating.
4 The coated mold is cooled in a cold-water tank.
5 The coating is removed from the mold by compressed air.
6 The ends of the coating (the dip-molded product) may be trimmed, depending on the product.
Note: The qualities of the final product are determined by the plasticizers, stabilizers,
   and PVC plastic that have been added to the plastisol.
Cautions regarding the use of dip-molded products
  • Please use dip-molded products at temperatures equal to or less than the continuous use temperature of their dip material displayed in the Specifications of Dip Materials. Please use products (recognized by industrial standards) at temperatures equal to or less than their rated temperatures.
  • Avoid use under high humidity or wet conditions, since this will reduce the product's electrical qualities.
  • Avoid use in oil (mineral or vegetable) since this will harden the product and reduce its mechanical properties.
  • Avoid using the product in the presence of organic solvents (aromatics, ketones, organochlorine agents, higher alcohols) since these will soften the product and reduce its mechanical properties.
  • Avoid contact between the product and styrene materials until tests have been performed.
  • Transparent products may loose their transparency over time, but this will not have a great impact on their performance.
