About Hydrodipping
Hydro-dipping is also known as water transfer imaging and immersion printing, it is a process of applying print designs to 3D objects with the use of liquid. It can be used on almost any substrate, such as wood, plastic, glass, and metal. Unlimited potential.
This method of surface decoration is ideal for giving 360-degree coverage of objects, even in hard-to-reach spots. A polyvinyl alcohol film which is printed with the desired design/graphic, it is laid across the surface of the water in a specialised dipping tank; the surface tension of the water allows the print to wrap around the shape of any object. This is reinforced with a clear protective coating.
Hydrodipping Process
Transform any 3-dimensional surface.
This process IS NOT A STICK ON APPLICATION so there is no fading, cracking, peeling, blistering or lose edges that can lift away.
The key element to producing any quality finish is surface preparation – especially before we apply the foundation layer of primer coats. This is one of the most important parts of the process because if it isn’t performed in the right way you could experience faults further down the track. It all starts in the correct preparation, base coating, dipping, washing & cleaning and as a final stage the clear coating and polishing to achieve a permanent surface solution.
All parts that we receive are washed from any surface contamination, rinsed, dried, sanded, and prepared ready for the dipping process.
We can coat all types of metals, plastics, ceramic and fibreglass surfaces.
