From the Industry Experts:

Plasti Dip Synthetic Rubber Coating

Plasti Dip is an air dry, synthetic rubber coating that can be easily applied by spraying, brushing or dipping. Plasti Dip resists moisture, acids, abrasion, corrosion, skidding/slipping, and provides a comfortable, controlled grip. It remains flexible, stretchy and will not become brittle or crack in extreme weather conditions; -30°F to 200°F.

Plasti Dip can be applied to anything that paint is applied to and more. Manufacturers, contractors, repair shops, marine, automotive and consumers use our products to coat rope, concrete, circuit boards, animal containment, pumps, tanks, electronics, etc...

Did you know that you can create your own colors by adding a universal tint to white or clear Plasti Dip? The following are some brands of tints and ratios:

Tint-All 11/2-oz tubes, mix 3 parts Tint-All to 100% Plasti Dip Tinting Color 1-oz tube, mix 3 parts to 100% clear or white Plasti Dip Instant Colorant 2-oz bottle, mix 3 parts Instint Color Colorant to 100% Plasti Dip.

Tints can be purchased at most hardware or paint stores. Plasti Dip can be purchased from Modern Plastics.

TIVAR® H.O.T.

Formulated to maintain key performance properties in an extended temperature range, TIVAR® excels in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures range up to 275°, 100° higher than competing UHMW-PE formulations. TIVAR® H.O.T. reduces the oxidization rate of the material at higher temperatures thereby slowing material degradation and extending wear-life in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. TIVAR® H.O.T. will last up to 10 times longer in higher temperature environments and has excellent wear and release characteristics.

Download the TIVAR H.O.T. .pdf fact sheet. TIVAR® H.O.T. is also a great material for use in conveyor systems or other equipment that is frequently exposed to chemical washdowns in such industries as poultry/meat processing and packaging. It can be also used in applications ranging from wearstrips for spiral conveyors in the baking industry to drag conveyor flights for moving bulk materials (corn) in grain elevators, or wearstrips for conveyor dryers in drying and dehydrating systems.

TIVAR® H.O.T. features these properties:

  • Inhibits oxidation, extends material wear-life
  • Extended operating temperature range
  • Abrasion, corrosion, chemical and moisture-resistant
  • Excellent release characteristics
  • Meets FDA guidelines, USDA and 3-A Dairy compliant
Download the TIVAR® H.O.T. .pdf flyer.

TIVAR® H.O.T. is white and available in the following standard sizes: 48” x 120” sheets with gauges ranging from 1/16” to 6” and 48” x 240” sheets with gauges ranging from 3/4” to 3”. Other sizes are available on request. It can also be extruded in a variety of standard and custom profiles.

TIVAR® H.O.T. is used in the baking, conveyor manufacturing, food processing and packaging, meat and poultry processing, and pet food manufacturing industries.
