Dip coating allows the customer to have a protective or cosmetic coating applied to a variety of substrates including metals, plastics, textiles, foams, etc. Coatings from a few to several thousandths of an inch can be applied in a variety of colors and durometer. Practically all materials and processing used for dip molding lend themselves to dip coating.
Silicone spray coating of metal substrates has become a specialty of McCammon Engineeering Corp. in both military and industrial applications. Silicone is an excellent choice for high heat applications such as engine compartments, oven components, etc.

With dip molding, prototyping is fast and inexpensive. Though tooling is necessary, complex and expensive tooling associated with other molding techniques is unnecessary. Combining 3D CAD modeling with a fully equipped in-plant machine shop, we have the resources to get prototype parts into the customers hands, usually within a few days.
Trimming and dieing are all standard operations at our facility. As with most custom parts, there is often trimming, cutting, dieing or punching associated with the part. We routinely carry out trimming operations utilizing manual, shear, rotary mandrel, pnuematic and arbor trimming equipment.
