Dip Coatings

Dip coating refers to the immersing of a substrate into a tank containing coating material, removing the piece from the tank, and allowing it to drain. The coated piece can then be dried by force-drying or baking. It is a popular way of creating thin film coated materials along with the spin coating procedure. Owing to its simplicity, this method lends itself to automation. Film thickness is controlled by coating viscosity and rate of withdrawal from the tank. Dip tanks come in all shapes and are sized to accommodate the largest object to be coated.
