Plasticols is a brand of specialized coatings used for plating racks. These coatings are made from a unique blend of polymers that provide excellent resistance to most chemicals used in plating, such as acids and alkaline solutions. They also have excellent adhesion to metal surfaces and resist fading and yellowing caused by UV exposure.
The purpose of using Plasticols coating for plating racks is to prevent the plating solution from coming in contact with the metal surface of the rack. This prevents the plating solution from leaching metal ions out of the rack, which can contaminate the plating solution and compromise the quality of the plating.
Plasticols coatings are available in a variety of colors, including black, blue, orange, red, and yellow, making it easy to color-code your plating racks for easy identification and organization. They can also be custom formulated to meet specific performance requirements.
