Masking |
When a manufactured part is powder coated there may be certain areas
of the surface that must be free of coating. For example, threaded areas
may not fit properly if they are coated. Bearing surfaces with close
tolerance cannot be coated. Some parts may require a bare spot for
electrical-grounding contact. It is important to select a mask that is
effective, easy to use and reasonable in cost. Masking parts will add
additional labor to the coating process. It is important to understand
the different types of masks that can be used. Masking can be as simple
as placing a plug in a single hole or it may require a specially made
mask or fixture. One large hole in a large part will require very little
labor while some smaller parts may have numerous spots that need masking
and require a lot of labor. Selection of the right masking procedure
will affect the cost of the part. The mask must be reasonable in cost
and it must do an effective job of keeping the coating off the masked
surface. There are many commercially available masking materials
for and powder coated parts. Tapes, plugs, caps and steel fixtures can
be used. These cost and benefit issues are considered to determine the
best possible way to mask a part:
• the cost per mask
• the number of times it can be reused
• the effectiveness of the mask
• the ease of application and removal
• ability to leave a clean parting line between the mask edge and the
coating
• the need to be stripped and the frequency
• the temperature resistance of the mask material
• the ease of removal of adhesive backing.
