The fishing industry depends on equipment that can withstand constant exposure to water, UV rays, salt, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions. From commercial fishing operations and aquaculture facilities to recreational fishing equipment manufacturers, durable protective coatings play a major role in extending product life and improving performance. At Innovative Coatings, Inc., our plastisol dip coating solutions provide durable, flexible, and corrosion-resistant protection for a wide range of fishing equipment and components. With more than 40 years of experience, we help manufacturers create reliable products designed for demanding marine environments.
Plastisol is a liquid PVC-based coating material that cures into a durable, flexible, rubber-like finish when heated. During the dip coating process, metal or other compatible components are preheated, immersed into liquid plastisol, and then cured to form a seamless protective layer. This coating provides exceptional resistance to moisture, corrosion, chemicals, impact, and wear, making it well-suited for fishing industry applications where equipment must perform reliably in wet and abrasive conditions.
At Innovative Coatings, we can produce coating thicknesses ranging from approximately 0.010″ to over 0.250″, depending on the application and performance requirements.
Fishing equipment frequently encounters harsh environmental conditions that can shorten product lifespan without proper protection. Plastisol coatings provide several important advantages:
These characteristics make plastisol an excellent solution for numerous fishing and marine equipment applications.
Plastisol dip coatings are commonly used on fishing equipment that requires durability, comfort, and environmental protection.
Needle-nose pliers, fish grippers, hook removers, line cutters, and other fishing tools benefit from plastisol-coated handles that provide a comfortable, non-slip grip while protecting the underlying metal from corrosion.
Metal frames and support structures used in landing nets can be coated to improve durability and reduce wear from repeated exposure to water and fish handling operations.
Plastisol coatings help protect rod holders and accessory mounts from corrosion while preventing scratches to rods and other equipment.
Commercial traps, cages, and related wire fabrications can be coated to enhance longevity and provide additional resistance to marine environments.
Fish farming operations often rely on coated wire forms, baskets, supports, and handling equipment that must withstand continuous exposure to water and cleaning chemicals.
Custom wire products used throughout fishing vessels and marine facilities can benefit from plastisol coatings that improve protection, safety, and handling characteristics.
The fishing industry requires materials capable of performing under conditions that can quickly degrade unprotected metal. Plastisol coatings offer several advantages that make them particularly valuable for fishing applications.
These benefits help fishing equipment manufacturers produce products that perform reliably in demanding outdoor and marine environments.
Yes. Plastisol coatings create a protective barrier that helps shield metal components from saltwater, moisture, and corrosive marine environments. This makes them a popular choice for fishing tools, rod holders, wire fabrications, and marine hardware exposed to frequent water contact.
Plastisol coatings can be applied to a wide variety of fishing and marine products, including plier handles, fish grippers, hook removers, landing net frames, rod holders, wire baskets, traps, aquaculture equipment, and custom metal fabrications.
Yes. Plastisol provides a soft, comfortable, non-slip surface that improves handling in wet conditions. Custom textures and finishes can also be specified to enhance grip and user comfort.
Absolutely. Innovative Coatings offers a wide range of custom colors, textures, gloss levels, and coating thicknesses to meet branding requirements, product specifications, and performance goals.
In many fishing applications, plastisol offers advantages over traditional paint because it provides a thicker, more durable, impact-resistant coating. It also delivers improved grip, cushioning, and corrosion protection while reducing the risk of chipping or peeling.
