When it comes to masking in high temperature finishing processes, not all tapes perform at the same level. For stability, heat resistance, and clean removal the go-to material is green polyester tape. Built on a 2 Mil polyester carrier, or backing, and paired...

In finishing operations like electrocoating (e-coat), plating, powder coating, and anodizing, certain surfaces must remain uncoated to support future electrical grounding or contact once the part is in service. These areas—often threads, pads, studs, or machined...

What Are Elastomers?

Elastomers are polymers with elastic properties, meaning they return to their original shape after being stretched or compressed. Common examples include natural rubber, silicone, nitrile, and EPDM. These materials are valued for their flexibility...

In processes like media blasting, flame spray, and thermal coating, protecting critical surfaces is essential. High temperatures, abrasive particles, and mechanical wear can quickly damage surrounding areas if not properly masked. That’s where surface protection...

When precision matters, off-the-shelf parts may not be the right fit. That’s where custom die-cut components come in—designed to your exact specifications and made from materials that match your application needs. But what goes into making a custom die-cut part...

We’re excited to join the largest battery and EV technology event in North America—right in the Motor City. The Battery Show brings together the innovators driving the future of advanced automotive, battery, and electric vehicle technologies. Visit us at Booth...

Electrocoating (e-coat) is a widely used finishing method that provides consistent, corrosion-resistant coverage for metal parts. It combines the efficiency of paint application with the precision of electrochemistry, making it ideal for automotive, appliance...

Masking metal products prior to coating processes—such as powder coating, e-coating, plating, or anodizing—can be complex due to the variety of part geometries, coating applications, and performance requirements. Effective masking must withstand high temperatures...

When preparing surfaces for coating, pre-treatment is critical to ensure that only the intended areas are exposed during anodizing, e-coating, plating, powder coating or wet spray. By shielding specific regions from overspray, contamination, or chemical exposure...

Plug loss or leakage during the coating process can result in expensive rework, rejected parts, and production delays. While plugs may seem simple, their effectiveness depends on several factors—such as heat, pressure, proper sizing, and material compatibility...
