Dip coating is a process used to apply a protective or decorative layer to an object by immersing it in a liquid solution. This technique is commonly used for coating items like metal parts, glass, and ceramics. The object is dipped into the coating material, allowing it to be evenly covered, and then removed to let excess liquid drain off. After dipping, the coated object is typically cured or dried to ensure the coating adheres properly and achieves the desired properties. Dip coating is valued for its ability to provide uniform coverage, making it suitable for complex shapes and large production runs.
