StockCap's line of flexible vinyl caps and covers are primarily manufactured using the vinyl dip molding manufacturing process. Here are some of the most common reasons people choose to use vinyl when specifying their caps and plugs.
Flexible & Easy to Install
When used as for a cap or plug, it provides a much better seal and will not crack or shred like hard plastic closures.
This flexibility also makes them easy to install while the airtight seal that they provide keeps them in place once they are on.
Can be Made in Any Length
The unique molding process for vinyl caps allows engineers to specify vinyl caps in almost any length without incurring tooling charges.
Colorful and Versatile
Vinyl can be made in more vibrant colors.
Vinyl formulations can be made to achieve a wide variety of textures and chemical properties.
Temperature & Chemical Resistant
Vinyl withstands high temperatures and can often be used as an alternative to more expensive rubber caps in paint masking applications.
Vinyl has a greater chemical resistance than most other plastics making it the perfect cap material for plating applications.
Insulative & Non-Shredding
Vinyl is a naturally insulative material making vinyl caps and plugs the ideal choice for closures that are going to be used in electrical applications.
For threaded applications, vinyl caps and plugs will not shred and leave residue in the very part that they are trying to protect from contamination.
