How to Choose the Right Coating for Different Materials｜Plastics, Metals, Rubber, Glass

Selecting coatings tailored to the material and application has a direct impact on product quality and production efficiency.

■　Why Coating Selection Matters

In industrial coating applications, selecting the right type of coating is not merely about color or appearance—it also involves key attributes such as durability, adhesion, process compatibility, and environmental compliance. Different materials such as metal, plastic, rubber, or glass have distinct surface characteristics that affect how well coatings adhere. Improper selection can lead to issues such as peeling, curing defects, or adhesion failure, resulting in higher rejection rates and lower overall production efficiency.

■　Coating Characteristics by Material Type and How to Choose

TS COATING (THAILAND) CO., LTD. offers a wide range of coatings suitable for various substrates. Here are some examples of optimal coatings by material type:

Plastics (PC, ABS, PC/ABS, Acrylic, etc.)

• Recommended: TS-700 / TS-710 / TS-720 (High-gloss UV Coatings)
• Features: Excellent transparency and gloss, fast drying, enhances productivity.
• Why it fits: Plastics often contain surface oils and static charges, requiring coatings with strong adhesion and flexibility.

Metals (Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Magnesium)

• Recommended: TS-P800 / TS-777 (UV Coatings for Metals)
• Features: Strong undercoat adhesion, corrosion and heat resistance.
• Why it fits: Metals expand with heat, so coatings must maintain adhesion under temperature fluctuations.

Rubber & Elastomers

• Recommended: TS-71 / TS-91 (PU-based Elastic Coatings)
• Features: High flexibility and adhesion to follow the movement of soft materials.
• Why it fits: Rubber materials require coatings that won’t crack or peel under deformation.

Glass

• Recommended: TS-700K (High-gloss UV Coating for Glass)
• Features: Maintains high gloss and transparency, adheres even on smooth surfaces.
• Why it fits: Glass has low surface energy and is difficult to coat without specialty products.

■　Functional Coatings Add Value to Finished Products

TS COATING’s UV coating lineup not only offers beautiful finishes but also includes functional properties such as:

• Vacuum Deposition Compatibility (TS-740 Series)
• Eco-friendly, Non-solvent UV Type (TS-708NV)

These features allow for product differentiation and environmental compliance, and help streamline the production process—reducing cleaning time, VOC emissions, and overall cycle time.
