Dip Coating vs Spray Coating

Dip vs spray

Dip compared with Spray
DipSpray
Coverage in the coil coreFull — every surface is immersed.Reduced on inner rows of deep coils.
Film controlSet by viscosity, withdrawal speed and drain-off.Set by spray technique and number of passes.
Part sizeLimited by tank and oven size.No practical limit.
Complete unitsNot possible; the coil must be removed.Possible after masking.
Typical systemsPG-S1, PG-W, PG-S2.PG-C; PG-S1 and PG-W at low pressure.

Choose dip if…

  • New coils that fit the tank
  • High fin density, where film control matters
  • Thin-film systems with oven cure

Choose spray if…

  • Coils larger than the tank
  • Complete outdoor units
  • Thicker chemical-resistant films

Cost and lead time

Dipping is fast per coil once the tank is filled with the right system, which makes it efficient for batches of similar coils. Spray takes longer per coil but has no tank to set up, so it suits small batches, large parts and customer-specified coatings.
