Resins for Reliable Protection and Process Simplification for New Parts Manufacture, Overhaul and Repair
A family of solvent-free, UV curable temporary masking resins has been developed to simplify component masking processes prior to surface preparation and finishing operations. These resins cure in seconds under UV light and provide superior protection during machining, laser drilling, grit blasting, shot peening, acid stripping, plating and thermal spray coating. Their ease of application, speed of cure, and consistent reliability surpasses that of waxes, tapes, lacquers, and other slow curing, solvent-based maskants. This improved technology offers substantial cost savings through reductions in labor, rework and scrap.
