The Importance of Masking

Proper masking is crucial for thermal spray applications. Before applying a thermal spray, components must be grit blasted, with non-coating areas protected to prevent unwanted oxidation and potential damage. Taconic’s masking materials are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of abrasive blasting and coating in a single application.

Advanced Masking Solutions: The Better Way

– Contamination-Free Surfaces: Taconic thermal spray masking tapes, fabrics, and compounds are designed to leave **no silicone adhesive or fluid residue** on the surface of components.

– High Abrasion Resistance: Our thermal spray masking materials are engineered to endure the extreme abrasion from blasting and coating processes, including abrasive particles like Carbide. This resistance ensures durability even when masking could otherwise degrade faster than the coating process.

– Flexibility & Conformability: Taconic tapes, fabrics, and compounds adapt to complex shapes without lifting, sagging, or shifting, making them ideal for critical masking applications.

– Superior Peel Adhesion: Our pressure-sensitive tapes deliver industry-leading adhesion to both metal surfaces and backings, preventing disastrous tape lifting during the coating process.

Efficiency & Cost Savings in Masking

– Strong Tape & Fewer Layers: Using stronger masking tape means fewer layers are needed, reducing both time and costs. This efficiency allows for masking with just 1-2 layers.

– Reusable Masking Solutions: Our silicone-coated fabrics and rubber compounds can be reused multiple times, making them ideal for covering large or intricate areas quickly. Unlike single-use tapes, these materials can be used repeatedly, offering long-term value.

– Post-Coating Strength: After abrasive blasting, our maskants maintain their heat resistance and structural integrity, ensuring they are robust enough to endure subsequent thermal spray coatings.
