Plastisol Dip Coating
Plastisol coatings are composed of plasticized resin and PVC particles, which add properties such as impact-resistance or thermal insulation to metal parts. Heated metal objects are dipped into a pool of liquid plastisol and then cured, resulting in repeatable, uniform high quality coating suited to high volume orders.
Our proprietary process results in extremely consistent coating thicknesses, making dip coating the preferred choice for hand tools, utensils, clamps, clips, plating racks, hooks, brackets, playground decking, and fencing panels.
- Dual wall – double dip – 2 material double dip coating for dual wall insulated tools.
- Large coat capabilities – Servicing marine decking, playground and commercial outdoor benches, tables, and furniture.
- Short to long runs – Production runs of up to 100,000 items

Fluidized bed powder coating
Fluidized bed plastisol coating is a metal coating technique where heated parts are immersed and vibrated in a powder coating to obtain a uniform thickness and then cured. This method is ideal for covering wire forms, irregular shaped parts, sheet metal and stampings providing a coating that will cover the entire product, even hard-to-reach wire cross welds.
- Aztec can accommodate both small and large scale items.
- Short to long production runs of 100,000 items.
- Eliminate the need to source raw materials from multiple vendors.
- Wide selection of coating materials with a range of properties.
