FAQ

Hydro Dipping is a surface treatment technology that transfers patterns to object surfaces by floating printed film on water, using activator to activate the pattern, then dipping the object into water. This technology can handle objects of various complex shapes and is widely used in automotive, electronics, sports equipment, and other fields.

Basic hydro dipping equipment includes: dip tank (water tank), spray gun, air pump. Supplies include: hydro film, activator, base paint, protective clear coat, etc. For beginners, we recommend purchasing an entry-level kit that includes all necessary accessories to get started quickly.

Hydro dipping has a relatively gentle learning curve, and basic operations are easy to master. We provide entry-level kits and detailed instructions, along with professional technical training. Most users can complete basic dipping operations after a few practice sessions. We recommend starting with simple flat objects and gradually moving to complex shaped objects.

The durability of hydro dipped patterns mainly depends on the quality of the final protective clear coat. Using high-quality clear coat and proper surface treatment, dipped patterns can last for years without fading or peeling. We provide high-quality clear coats to ensure your work lasts.

Hydro dipping can be applied to almost all materials, including plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramics, etc. Different materials require different base paints to ensure good adhesion. We offer a variety of base paint options suitable for various material surface treatment needs.

There are thousands of hydro film patterns available, including carbon fiber, wood grain, stone, camouflage, cartoon, animal prints, etc. We can customize special patterns according to customer needs. We regularly update the latest popular pattern styles to meet the personalized needs of different customers.

The hydro dipping process for a single object usually takes 30-60 minutes, including surface treatment, base paint drying, dipping, and clear coat drying time. For mass production, multiple objects can be processed in parallel to improve efficiency. Professional equipment can achieve higher production efficiency.

Yes, we provide professional technical training services, including equipment operation, process flow, troubleshooting, etc. Training can be conducted online or arranged on-site. Purchase of our equipment kits includes free basic training.

The choice of dip tank depends on the size of objects you want to process. The tank length should be 30% longer than the longest side of the object, with sufficient width and depth. We offer various sizes of dip tanks, from entry-level 120cm to commercial 240cm and above. If you have questions, please contact our technical consultants for advice.

Hydro dipping costs mainly include: film cost, activator, base paint, clear coat, and other supply costs. The supply cost for a single dip usually ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, depending on object size and material quality used. Mass production can further reduce unit costs. We can provide you with detailed cost analysis.
