The Los Angeles Vinyl Coating Industry

The Los Angeles Vinyl Coating Industry


by Jayne Rutledge


In today's busy world we all but take for granted the presence of synthetic coatings on everyday products. There are so many items in constant use that as consumers we barely notice. Yet these products really do make our lives so much easier. They provide a number of very important services, the most important of which are creating effective yet affordable water and weather resistant coatings to products. Los Angeles vinyl coating companies provide a very valuable service to consumers all over the country.

The process of application follows several steps. Initially the item is covered with a thin layer of scrim. Scrim is applied in a liquid form and helps to create strength, stability and prevents tears. It also helps materials achieve and maintain their elongated form. An additional layer of bonding or adhesive is then applied. Finally the product is ready for the vinyl outer layer.

The first coat in the process is known as scrim and used to create a base. It also helps to give some strength and shape to the item. This is particularly important with products such as very thin wires that would not hold their shape without assistance from an outside substance. The scrim is then coated with adhesive compounds and finally with the PVC.

This outer layer of PVC is then heat sealed in a special process. This ensures that it is totally water proof. The seam is also stronger than the original material which adds a massive amount of structural integrity. The product is then able to be used in a variety of situation including both indoors and out. The materials also protect against UV rays, mildew, moisture, dirt and oil.

Another significant factor in the continued development of the local PVC industry is the new interest in buying American. For years most items were manufactured at home, but then many of the eastern countries began to industrialize. This changed the face of the world economy and over the years many companies moved their factories to third world nations to take advantage of cheaper labor costs and fewer restrictions and environmental concerns.

At the time there was not much competition in the world markets but over the last thirty to forty years the Asian countries, particularly Korea, have become very competitive in the global economy. The Buy American Act has helped to keep factories in California operating and workers secure in their jobs.

PVC is made in large sheets or panels. The seams are heat sealed to make them water proof. In order to stand up to years of wear the seam must be stronger than the original coatings. This is crucial factor and especially important when the item will be used in a military or mechanical setting.

Most of the Los Angeles vinyl coating products are made in the standard white color, although practically any color is available. Unusual colors will cost more and there may be a minimum run amount as the machines must be cleaned thoroughly before the next batch can be processed. In addition to water resistance the finished products will also be mildew, oil, rot and dirt resistant too, giving them a long and productive life.
