INDUSTRIAL FINISHING: MASKING AND PLUGS
Plugs and (right) masking decals.
Powder coating has its own specific requirements, since the
coating application process is different to that for traditional
paint. In particular, there is a temperature factor to consider,
since the coatings need to be baked on, meaning the masking
has to be suited to the application. However, there is no problem
with liquid to deal with, so seepage is less of a concern.
As far as industry trends go, the main thing suppliers report
is more requests for different types of rubber compounds. High
temperature silicone is also popular for higher temperature
applications.
And while it's best known for hooks and racks, Mighty Hook
provides an extensive range of masking caps and plugs, as well
as special molded masking products. The company says it
specializes in challenging designs.
It also produces silicone masking tubing, for masking threads,
pins and tubing where a longer masking length is required. The
tubing is flexible but sturdy enough for use in masking threaded,
non-threaded or slotted holes, and is easily cut for desired
length. Additionally, its silicone foam cord can form a tight seal
in threaded and non-threaded slots, grooves, irregular shaped
cavities and through holes.
Matching masking to specific needs will probably always
require experienced skill. But as that experience builds, and
suppliers adopt more creative and flexible solutions for plugs and
masks, the precision and efficiency of what is available is only
going to increase.
