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.

SpeedMask	Typical Uses	Features and Benefits
High Adhesion, Clean Burn-Off Grades Incinerate cleanly at 1200° in air furnace
701	Cooling Cavity Sealant Grinding & Peening Grit Blasting Masks Chemical Masks & Electroplating	High adhesion; resists HCI and other acids/alkalis Cures to 1/4" deep Tough, translucent bonds Machines and abrades cleanly Leaves no residue
702
703		Same as above, with hard, clear and glossy bonds Superior resistance to plating solutions
704		Non-slumping resin
706		Similar to 703 but thicker
707	Laser Mask Cooling Cavity Sealant	Low viscosity flows easily into cavities; use with YAG lasers Protects from beam impingement
715	Cooling Cavity Sealant	For use where heat cure is not practical Hard, glossy, abrasion resistant
Peelable Masks Peels easily at room temperature or after warm soak, 120°F-150°F
708	Grinding, Peening and Grit Blasting Masks (also resists low temperature coating processes)	Low adhesion, easy manual peel off
711		Higher adhesion, peels off easily after warm water soak
716	Plating Harsh Grit Blasting	Plating solution resistant, peels off easily after warm water rinse Leaves no residue Spray, brush or dip to apply
717	Plating Harsh Grit Blasting	Plating solution resistant, peels off easily after warm water rinse Leaves no residue
Water Soluble Masks Washes off with hot water spray or agitated bath, 140°F-180°F
713	Grinding, Peening and Grit Blasting Masks Cooling Cavity Sealant	Easy, automated removal No heat or manual labor required For use where parts cannot be exposed to high temperatures
