What is Masking?
​
Masking involves covering or protecting certain areas of an object that are not intended to be treated, coated, or painted. It uses materials or techniques to shield designated regions, ensuring precision and control during surface finishing processes.
​
How Does Masking Work?
-
Material Selection: Choose appropriate masking materials based on the specific requirements of the application. Common masking materials include tapes, films, papers, and specialty masking products.
-
Application: Apply the masking material to the areas that need protection. Ensure a tight seal to prevent any coating, paint, or treatment from reaching the masked surfaces.
-
Surface Preparation: Prepare the object for the finishing process by cleaning and ensuring that the masking material adheres properly.
-
Coating or Treatment: Proceed with the desired coating, painting, or treatment process on the exposed areas, leaving the masked sections untouched.
-
Mask Removal: After the finishing process is complete, carefully remove the masking material to reveal the protected areas.
​
Types of Masking Materials:
​
-
Tapes: Masking tapes are versatile and come in various types, including painter's tape, high-temperature tape, and specialty tapes designed for specific applications.
-
Specialty Masking Products: Certain applications may require specialty masking products, such as silicone plugs, caps, or custom-designed masks for intricate patterns.
