Hydro dipping, also known as water transfer printing or camo dipping is a process of applying designs and patterns to various surfaces using water and a film.
The process involves submerging a surface into a water tank that has a film floating on the surface.
The film, which contains the design or pattern, adheres to the surface as it is pulled out of the water.
The surface is then cleared of any excess water and the design is allowed to dry and cure.
Advantages of Hydro-Dipping
VERSATILITY: Hydro dipping can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including metal, plastic, wood, and glass. This makes it a versatile option for decorating a variety of items.
CUSTOMIZATION: The process allows for a wide range of designs and patterns to be applied to surfaces, which allows for a high degree of customization.
ECO-FRIENDLY: Hydro-dipping process is more eco-friendly than other methods, like powder coating or painting, as it requires less energy and materials.
COST-EFFECTIVE: Hydro dipping is a cost-effective way to decorate items, as the process is relatively cheap compared to other methods such as painting or airbrushing.
DURABILITY: The film used in the process is resistant to fading and chipping, which makes the designs applied through hydro dipping relatively durable.
