Dip Molding

SARITVAT Leading the Way in Dip Molding for Custom Plastic Coatings and Molded Parts Across Multiple Industries

Dip molding is a flexible process where a preheated mold is dipped into liquid polymer and pulled out to create a seamless coating or a fully formed part. At SARITVAT, we keep the work human and ethical with clear planning, practical guidance, and transparent trade-offs—helping teams make decisions confidently.

From discovery to pilot runs and full-scale production, we document every choice, flag potential risks early, and explain options in plain language. Safety, measurable quality, and accountable communication are at the heart of everything we do.

Benefits of Technology

Dip molding gives smooth, weld-free skins and forgiving radii, protecting delicate features while keeping dimensions consistent for validation and production. This is coordinated with our Vendors.

Low tooling costs make it great for quick experiments and stable production. We use shared datasets, SPC charts, and first-article checks to ensure predictable, auditable results—guided by a Supplier.

Custom plastisols with UV protection, flame retardance, and tailored softness allow ergonomic, long-lasting parts. Reliable Suppliers help us achieve the perfect balance of form and function.

Design freedom extends to undercuts and long, thin geometries. By controlling dwell time, viscosity, and temperature, we manage thickness and uniformity. We deliver results in partnership with Manufacturers.

Traceability, clear acceptance criteria, and maintenance guidance reduce downtime and minimize rework, even when designs change frequently. Our Support is always responsive.

Where needed, we add trimming, vent clearing, and post-cure steps so assemblies fit together cleanly and stay within tolerance. Execution remains local.

For tough environments, we choose chemistries that balance flexibility with abrasion resistance, ensuring parts survive cycles, vibration, and cleaning agents. Help is available nearby.

End-to-end documentation—drawings, samples, images, and measurement notes—keeps everyone informed and reduces surprises. Coordination is done with Vendors.

Industrial Application and Use Cases

Medical Industry

Surgical bellows, grips, and protective caps benefit from soft touch, easy cleaning, and consistent wall thickness. We follow standards and allow room for careful validations, guided by a Supplier.

FAQs

What is dip molding?

A heated mold is dipped into polymer and pulled out to form a part or coating. Thickness depends on dwell time, viscosity, and temperature. Help is available nearby.

What are the advantages over injection molding?

Seamless finishes, faster prototyping, and economical mid-volume runs. Coordinated with Vendors.

How is wall thickness controlled?

Dwell time, bath temperature, and pull-out speed, checked with gauges and section verification. Plan guided by a Supplier.

What materials are commonly used?

Plastisol, PVC, latex, neoprene, and TPEs—chosen based on environment, feel, and compliance. Workflow supported by reliable Suppliers.

Which industries benefit?

Medical, consumer goods, electronics, packaging, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Delivered in partnership with Manufacturers.

Can the process support thermal insulation?

Yes, with the right formulations and cure profiles. Responsive Support is available.

What is the difference between dip coating and dip molding?

Dip coating adds a layer to an existing part; dip molding forms the part itself. Execution remains local.
