With over 30 years of trading history and expertise, Plastic Treatments LTD has developed coating methods to protect your products. We only use high-quality materials from reputable suppliers, so you can be assured that you are receiving the best treatment for your products.
Our clients come from a range of industries, many of whom are long-standing customers who value quality and loyalty as much as we do. Get in touch to let us help you find a quality coating for your quality products.
Commonly known as plastic dipping, this process involves pre-heating metal items and immersing them in a fluidised tank of polymer powder. The powder fuses to the metal, creating a thick, durable, and seamless finish.
Our powder coating service offers a versatile and cost-effective way to achieve a high-quality decorative finish while providing essential metal protection. We stock a wide selection of polymer types, textures, and colours to match your exact specifications.
We understand that niche products often require special consideration. Our technical team works closely with clients to provide custom coating solutions for items used in extreme or testing environments.
Our Plastic Dip Coating are utilised across a diverse range of industries, including:
With three decades of trading history, we have refined our processes to ensure your products receive the best possible treatment using high-quality materials from reputable suppliers.
We know that timing is critical. We strive to minimise turnaround periods without ever compromising on the quality of the finish, ensuring your production schedule stays on track.
From the moment your items arrive at our Bolton facility to the final inspection, we focus on identifying your specific needs to provide a cost-effective, high-standard solution.
Our coatings and processes are designed to enhance and protect our customer’s products. Protection from corrosion, colour stability and aesthetic qualities are the main factors to consider when choosing the correct coating product. With a wide range of knowledge coupled with the technical expertise of our production staff, we can protect and enhance your products.
Classic car restoration is all about detail. From the bodywork and trim to the brackets, guards, racks, wheels and metal components hidden beneath the surface, every part plays a role in how the finished vehicle looks, feels and performs.
In high-performance industries, metal components are expected to perform reliably under constant stress, exposure and repeated use. When failure occurs, it is rarely dramatic; it starts with corrosion, surface wear or coating breakdown that shortens lifespan and compromises performance.
Selecting the correct coating method is a critical decision in metal fabrication. The right choice can extend product lifespan, improve performance and enhance appearance. The wrong choice can lead to premature failure, inconsistent finishes or unnecessary cost.
In modern manufacturing, metal components are expected to do far more than simply hold their shape. They must withstand corrosion, abrasion, impact, chemicals and repeated
Plastic Treatments Ltd offers plastic dip coating (fluidised bed), powder coating, and polymer coating services, along with on-site metal fabrication and welding. We also offer bespoke coating solutions for specialist applications including extreme environments.
Powder coating uses an electrostatic spray process to apply a thin, fine layer of powder to a grounded metal part, which is then cured in an oven. Plastic dip coating (fluidised bed) produces a much thicker coating, is warmer to the touch, and is better suited to wire products, rough surfaces, and components that need grip or cushioning. The right choice depends on the product geometry, required thickness, and end-use environment.
Plastic dip coating is generally the better choice for wire products such as fridge baskets, industrial baskets, and wire racks. The fluidised bed process produces a thicker, more flexible coating that conforms well to curved and sharp-edged wire forms, providing better coverage and durability than electrostatic spray powder coating.
Yes. Plastic and polymer coatings create a continuous barrier between the metal substrate and moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure — making them an effective form of corrosion protection. The coating also provides resistance to abrasion and impact, extending the component’s working life.
Yes. Plastic dip coating and powder coating are both suitable for classic car restoration projects, including metal brackets, guards, racks, wire components, and underbody parts. The coating provides corrosion protection and a durable decorative finish, and is available in a range of colours and textures to suit restoration specifications.
Plastic dip coating can be applied to most metal substrates, including steel, iron, and fabricated metalwork. The process requires the metal to be preheated before dipping, which makes it particularly effective for solid and wire-form metal components. The surface is prepared prior to coating to ensure adhesion and finish quality.
Yes. Plastic Treatments Ltd works with clients who require custom coating solutions for products used in demanding or extreme environments. Their technical team works closely with manufacturers and engineers to specify the right polymer type, coating thickness, and process for each application.
